On May 18, 2014, the body of an unidentified male, later determined to be John Roberts, was found in Mesquite, Texas. Following the discovery, he was officially pronounced deceased in Dallas. The circumstances leading to his death remain limited in public detail, and no immediate next of kin could be identified or located at the time of his passing.
Efforts to resolve the case and reunite Roberts with his family have been led by the Southwestern Institute of Forensic Sciences, located at 2355 North Stemmons Freeway in Dallas. Assigned under agency case number IFS-14-08802 and listed on NamUs with the ID UCP145491, the case remains open as authorities continue the search for any relatives or individuals with knowledge of Roberts’ background and life.
Despite the passage of time, the case is still actively managed, with investigators hoping that new information or outreach may eventually bring closure. Those who may have any leads or relevant knowledge are encouraged to contact the Southwestern Institute of Forensic Science at 214-920-5900 or consult the agency's website at https://www.dallascounty.org/departments/swifs/ for further guidance.
