Despite the clear identification of his body, the whereabouts of any legal next of kin remain unknown, and as a result, Smith's remains have not been claimed.

The case is overseen by the La Crosse County Medical Examiner's Office, a dedicated agency tasked with handling such complex cases.

Despite the continued efforts, the case remains open under the agency case number 17-084, recorded in the national database with Namus ID: UCP100393. Unfortunately, without eligible next of kin coming forward, the hope for closure in Sean A. Smith's case remains distant.
