On September 16, 2016, the body of Harry Franklin Price was discovered at his residence in Aptos, California. His neighbors made the unfortunate find, bringing to light a case that presents as many questions as it does answers. Mr. Price, a divorced man, was noted for having no known children, which complicates the process of tracing next of kin or close relatives who might assist with posthumous arrangements or claim his body.
Mr. Price led a life that appeared to be somewhat transient, with potential residences in various locations within Santa Cruz County. Records suggest he may have lived in Capitola, Santa Cruz, and Soquel, though details on his duration of stay in these cities remain unspecified. This mobility further shrouds his personal history in mystery and adds to the challenge of locating family members or acquaintances who could provide more information about his life and identity.
The Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office - Coroner Division is handling the investigation into Mr. Price's identity and circumstances of death. They are situated at 5200 Soquel Avenue in Santa Cruz, California, and are currently open to receiving any information that might assist in resolving this unclaimed person case.
