On May 30, 2024, the remains of an unidentified woman were discovered in the Bronx, New York. The individual has since been registered under Namus ID: UCP123283 as Thelma Wooten. Despite efforts to identify and locate any potential family members or associates, the case remains unresolved with the individual unclaimed.
The discovery prompted the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner (NYC OCME) to initiate an investigation into the circumstances surrounding Thelma Wooten's death, including efforts to ascertain her background and any possible next of kin. Unfortunately, to date, no relatives or acquaintances have come forward to claim her, leaving the case in a state of uncertainty.
If anyone recognizes Thelma Wooten or has pertinent information that could aid in resolving this case, they are urged to contact the NYC OCME. The office can be reached at 212-447-2030, and additional resources and information are available on their official website at https://www.nyc.gov/site/ocme/index.page. The case is documented under Agency Case Number: B-24-016699. The New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner continues to seek public cooperation in bringing closure to this case.
