Case Description

Any updates on this case? Let us know!
In a case that has remained unresolved for decades, the unidentified and unclaimed body of a man was discovered on October 19, 1996, in Boise, Idaho. The individual, later identified as Charles Moore, has been cataloged under the Namus ID UCP1775. Despite efforts to trace his origins and next of kin, his identity and background largely remain a mystery to authorities.

The Ada County Coroner's Office, which handled Moore's case, determined that he died a natural death. His untimely demise was attributed to end-stage Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and pancreatitis. Despite the known medical causes of his death, many questions about Moore's life before he was found deceased linger, owing to the lack of identifiable information and absence of family members who have come forward.

With minimal personal details available, the case highlights the challenges faced by the Ada County Coroner's Office in handling unclaimed persons. Due to the lack of an agency address, contact number, or website, communication regarding this case is limited, further complicating efforts to provide Moore with the dignity of closure. As of his passing, Moore has remained unclaimed, and the case continues to reflect the broader issue of unidentified individuals passing away without any connections to those they might have known or been related to.

Date Found: 10/19/1996
