The body of James Richard Moore Jr., an adult male, was discovered on February 8, 2017, in Dallas, Texas. Despite efforts to identify next of kin, Moore remained an unclaimed person in official records. The circumstances surrounding his death and subsequent discovery were managed by the Southwestern Institute of Forensic Science, the agency responsible for forensic examinations and identifying deceased individuals within the jurisdiction.
Assigned the case number IFS-17-02602, Moore's information was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System under ID UCP146366. His remains were handled at the forensic institute located at 2355 North Stemmons Freeway in Dallas. The institute served as the lead agency in attempting to resolve his status and notify potential family members. With no one stepping forward to claim him, Moore's death presented a challenging and somber situation for officials tasked with honoring the dignity of the unidentified and unclaimed.
In accordance with protocol, the Southwestern Institute of Forensic Science maintained open lines of communication, providing a public-facing website and direct contact number—214-920-5900—for inquiries related to Moore’s case or other similar matters. Despite diligent outreach, his identity remained unresolved in terms of familial connection, leaving his final chapter with questions still unanswered.
