On December 7, 2012, the body of Carl Howard Duke, an unclaimed individual, was discovered in Dallas, Texas. He was officially pronounced deceased in the city, and authorities have since been working to locate his next of kin. Despite efforts, no immediate family members have been identified, leaving Duke's case unresolved in terms of familial connections.
The Southwestern Institute of Forensic Science, operating as the medical examiner's office in Dallas, has been handling the investigation. Located at 2355 North Stemmons Freeway in Dallas, Texas, the agency continues to search for any relatives or individuals who may have had contact with Duke prior to his passing. As part of their standard procedure, forensic professionals have analyzed available records and evidence to piece together his background, but confirmation of family ties remains elusive.
This case remains open as authorities strive to connect Duke’s identity with any potential relatives who may be unaware of his passing. Anyone with information regarding his history or family connections is encouraged to contact the Southwestern Institute of Forensic Science at 214-920-5900.
