A child's body is found on a Texas Beach, but no one's reported him missing. 

This is a sketch of the young boy, discovered on a Galveston beach Friday. 

Police there say he's between three and five years old. They don't know who he is, where he's from, or how he died or how he wound up on the beach. 

Investigators are determined to answer those questions and get some justice for the boy.

Captain Joshua Schirard, with the Galveston Police Department, says,"That's really what makes this case so unusual. You know, it's unfortunate, we have 37 miles of beaches here. We deal with drownings over the summer, over the tourist season, it happens here."

"But every single one of those, they're accompanied by someone. Someone saw them go in the water, someone tried to save them. Someone helped pull them out but it was just too late. This is what makes this so different. We don't, we don't have people- you know we don't have bodies just wash up on our beach with no story behind them, much less three to five-year-old children," Schirard continued.
