On September 28, 2024, the unresponsive body of a 60-year-old female, identified as Carla Hockett Muhammad, was discovered in a park in Tacoma, Washington. The person who found her acted promptly, but unfortunately, Carla was pronounced deceased. Her case has since been designated as unclaimed under the Namus ID: UCP131251. Despite efforts by the authorities, no immediate family members or friends have come forward to claim Carla's remains, leaving her situation unresolved.
The Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office, located at 3619 Pacific Avenue in Tacoma, is responsible for managing this case. As part of their duties, they have attempted to reach out to potential next of kin through various channels but to no avail. The medical examiner's office continues to search for any acquaintances, relatives, or friends of Carla who might be willing to claim her remains, and they have made it clear that her cremains can be claimed by any individual at any time, ensuring that she may yet find a resting place among those who knew her.
In this ongoing case, the medical examiner's office has provided their contact information to facilitate the claiming process: interested parties can reach out via the agency's contact number at 253-798-6494 for any inquiries or further information regarding Carla's case. This effort continues under the agency case number 242490, in the hope of bringing closure and dignity to Carla Hockett Muhammad's story.
