On July 23, 2023, the body of Chanta Roberts, identified as a male, was found in Reno, Nevada, under circumstances that have left local authorities searching for next of kin. The case has been recorded under the Namus ID: UCP106235 by the Washoe County Regional Medical Examiner's Office. At the time of his passing, Chanta Roberts was under the care of a hospice agency. Despite their efforts, the agency could not report any family ties for Chanta, leading to the involvement of local authorities to locate any surviving relatives.
During the investigation, it was uncovered that Chanta Roberts might have been originally from Thailand, adding an additional layer of complexity to the search for next of kin. This international angle has necessitated a broader investigation, encompassing possible ties or familial connections that could exist beyond the borders of the United States. Authorities remain committed to ensuring that any existing family is notified and given the opportunity to claim his remains.
Handling the case is the Washoe County Regional Medical Examiner's Office, located at 990 East 9th Street in Reno, Nevada. Those with information or potential leads on Chanta's family are encouraged to contact the office directly at 775-785-6114.
