On April 28, 2012, a male body was discovered in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, identified posthumously as Louis Raymond Ross Jr. The circumstances of his death prompted an investigation by local authorities, leading to the involvement of the West Virginia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. Despite thorough efforts, the case remains unresolved, with Ross's identity confirmed but his relatives still at large. His NamUs ID is UCP92071.
An autopsy conducted under OCME autopsy case number 12-1453 sought to uncover the cause and manner of death. However, the absence of next-of-kin to claim the body posed significant challenges, leaving investigators at an impasse. The agency tasked with handling the case is the West Virginia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, located at 619 Virginia Street West, Charleston, West Virginia. Those with potential information are encouraged to contact them via the phone number 304-558-6920 or visit their website at [West Virginia OCME](https://dhhr.wv.gov/ocme/Pages/Welcome.aspx).
Efforts to find any living relatives of Louis Raymond Ross Jr. continue, as the agency hopes to offer some resolution and closure to the case. The West Virginia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner persists in its commitment to seeing the case to fruition, inviting assistance from the public to bridge the gaps in the investigation surrounding this unclaimed person.
