On May 23, 2011, the body of 64-year-old Vicky Lee Petersen was discovered in her Portland, Oregon home. The Multnomah County Medical Examiner’s Office, responsible for the investigation of her death, confirmed that she passed away from natural causes. However, despite their efforts, Ms. Petersen's case remains challenging as she is listed as an unclaimed person under NamUs ID: UCP1111.
Vicky Lee Petersen led what seems to have been a quiet life. Her passing came at a time after both of her parents had already deceased. Her personal circumstances further complicated the tracing of any immediate next of kin, as she was divorced and had no children. Her ex-husband noted the existence of a sister, Diane L. Jones, as her sole surviving family member. This connection introduced a potential lead, but unfortunately, subsequent attempts to locate Mrs. Jones have so far yielded no results.
The Multnomah County Medical Examiner’s Office tried to narrow down more information for Ms. Petersen's case, identified by the agency case number 11-0878. Despite these diligent efforts, the absence of electronic records and contact details hindered the successful location and notification of Ms. Petersen's next of kin. Thus, the case remains open, and the search for Diane L. Jones or any other potential relative continues with hopes of providing some closure and dignified remembrance for Vicky Lee Petersen.
