James Allan Keefe is listed in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System as an unclaimed person under case UCP149565, associated with Daly City, California. The record indicates that his body was found on August 4, 2020, and the investigating agency is the San Mateo County Coroner’s Office under agency case number 20-01566. The NamUs listing identifies him as male and links the case to San Mateo County authorities. The case page shows it was created on August 28, 2025.
The NamUs entry provides minimal descriptive details. Fields for hair color, eye color, clothing, accessories, and distinctive physical features are not populated, and the listing notes no additional case information beyond the core identifiers and agency contact. This paucity of descriptive data suggests the record is primarily administrative, oriented around the coroner’s custody status and efforts to locate next of kin or responsible parties for final arrangements.
Contact information in the NamUs case points to the San Mateo County Coroner’s Office as the case owner, with the office located at 50 Tower Road, San Mateo, CA 94402, and reachable by main phone at 312-5562. The county’s official website further confirms the coroner’s role in maintaining unidentified and unclaimed persons cases and directs inquiries to the same office for information relevant to identification and next-of-kin notification.
Public funeral-home records independently corroborate the decedent’s identity and date of death. A Dignity Memorial obituary for “James Allan Keefe” reports a date of birth of July 9, 1947, and the same date of death of August 4, 2020, noting care by Woodlawn Funeral Home & Memorial Park in Colma, which is within San Mateo County. This external record aligns on name and date of death with the NamUs case and situates the handling of remains in the same county as the investigating coroner.
Date Found: 08/04/2020
