On October 12, 2023, in the town of Alpena, Michigan, a troubling discovery was made concerning a local resident, Charles David Sutter. His body was found at his home following a welfare check initiated by the postal service. The mail carrier, accustomed to Sutter's regular pattern of mail collection, noticed an unusual accumulation of mail and raised the alarm, prompting authorities to investigate his well-being. This led to the sobering revelation of Sutter’s demise and the initiation of an unclaimed person case.
The situation drew the attention of the Mid-Michigan Medical Examiner Group, tasked with looking into the circumstances surrounding Sutter's death. Operating out of Cadillac, Michigan, the agency, which uses the case number 04-1016-SC-2023, is responsible for handling the administrative and forensic aspects following the discovery. The lack of a clear, immediate next of kin has rendered Sutter's case one of particular interest and complexity, designated under the NamUs ID: UCP110737, for individuals who have passed away without family or friends stepping forward to claim them.
Mid-Michigan Medical Examiner Group, led by its dedicated staff, continues to manage the case diligently. Their offices, located at 2141 Plett Rd PMB #111 in Cadillac, provide a central hub for coordination and investigation.
