On May 27, 2023, the body of a 70-year-old male, identified as Robert Carlson, was discovered in Rockland, Massachusetts, marking the beginning of a complex unclaimed person case. The Massachusetts State Police - Middleboro Barracks, operating under Agency Case Number 2023-113-318, have taken charge of the investigation. Officers responded to a call for a wellbeing check after neighbors expressed concerns over Carlson's extended absence and a noticeable increase in the length of his grass. Upon arrival, police found Carlson unresponsive on the bedroom floor, and it was determined that he had suffered an unattended death. Reports indicate that his body showed signs of decomposition, suggesting he had been deceased for a few weeks prior to discovery.
The circumstances surrounding Carlson's death raised questions within the community and among investigators. Neighbors had not seen Carlson for several weeks, indicating that he was Last Seen Alive (LSA) quite some time ago. Their request for a welfare check on the day of the discovery highlighted the level of concern shared by those living nearby, as they had noted abnormalities in the upkeep of his property, which was unlike his usual habits.
In handling this case, the Massachusetts State Police have provided their contact information for those who might hold any relevant information that could aid in completing the picture of Carlson's final days. The Middleboro Barracks, located at 326 West Grove Street in Middleborough, Massachusetts, can be reached at 508-947-2222 for tips or inquiries related to the case.
