On July 15, 2019, the body of Roger Reece Middleton was discovered in Dallas, Texas. He was officially pronounced deceased in the city, and his case was recorded under Namus ID: UCP146835. Despite identification of the individual, efforts to locate his next of kin remain ongoing, underscoring the poignant reality that not every person has someone immediately available to claim them after death. Middleton’s situation has been classified as an unclaimed person case.
The Southwestern Institute of Forensic Science in Dallas took charge of the investigation and processing of Middleton's remains. This agency, located at 2355 North Stemmons Freeway, serves as the local medical examiner responsible for managing cases such as this. The case was registered under agency case number IFS-19-13162. The Institute continues to search for anyone related to or connected with Middleton in hopes of providing closure and the dignity of a rightful claim to his memory.
Those who may have information are encouraged to contact the Southwestern Institute of Forensic Science directly at 214-920-5900 or to explore their website at Dallas County SWIFS. Cases like these remind us of the importance of community connection and the need for compassionate outreach when someone departs without a known next of kin.
