On April 22, 2022, a male body was discovered in the Bronx, New York, and later identified as Jose Torres. This case, recorded under Namus ID: UCP91639, has notably been classified as an unclaimed person case.

The Office of Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) in New York City is actively handling the case.
