On May 8, 2017, the body of Larry K. Lewallen was discovered in Dallas, Texas. Despite efforts made by local authorities, Mr. Lewallen remained unclaimed, and his identity persisted in official records as associated with NamUs ID: UCP146392. The circumstances surrounding his death were managed under the jurisdiction of the Southwestern Institute of Forensic Science, a medical examiner’s office located at 2355 North Stemmons Freeway in Dallas.
The case was filed under agency case number IFS-17-08265. Investigators from the medical examiner’s office undertook the task of evaluating the remains and attempting to contact next of kin. While basic identifiers were likely established, efforts to locate relatives or connections who could claim him proved unsuccessful. The office, reachable via 214-920-5900, continued to catalog Mr. Lewallen’s case as part of its responsibility to document unidentified and unclaimed persons.
Though time has passed since his discovery, the record stands as a solemn marker of a life that ended quietly, with few links to those who might have known him. The ongoing documentation through institutions like NamUs and the Southwestern Institute of Forensic Science reflects a commitment to dignity and resolution for unclaimed individuals. Mr. Lewallen's story, while marked by absence, remains preserved in the hope that someone, someday, may still come forward.
