On January 8, 2022, an unresponsive male body was discovered in a Memphis, Tennessee residence. The individual, Cleothus Hudson, was found by his landlord and subsequently pronounced deceased. Despite the efforts of local authorities, the circumstances surrounding Hudson's passing remain unresolved, as no next of kin has been located to claim his body or to be notified of his death.

After the discovery, the Medical Examiner’s office was able to identify Hudson using fingerprint analysis, thereby confirming his identity. Despite this positive identification, challenges have emerged in reaching out to family members or relatives who might shed light on his personal background or claim responsibility for his remains. The ongoing search for next of kin has been exhaustive, yet it remains incomplete, leaving Hudson classified as an unclaimed person under the Namus ID UCP97316.

The Memphis Police Department, located at 170 North Main Street, Memphis, Tennessee, is the lead agency handling Hudson's case. With the Agency Case Number 2201002771ME, the department is actively seeking any information that could help resolve the uncertainties surrounding Hudson's familial connections. Individuals who might possess vital information are urged to contact the department at 901-636-3700 or visit their website at http://www.memphispolice.org/. The department's efforts showcase their dedication to finding closure for Hudson and ensuring that he is respectfully laid to rest with the acknowledgment and honor that come from familial ties.
