On August 6, 1996, a male body identified as Alfred Henderson was discovered in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Emergency Medical Services were called to a local shelter for a welfare check, leading to the discovery of Henderson's remains. Although he was known to frequent the shelter, none of the staff or visitors were able to provide his name, suggesting he lived a solitary and low-profile existence.
Following the recovery of his body, fingerprints were resubmitted to the FBI for identification purposes, which successfully confirmed his identity. Despite this breakthrough, it seems there was limited information available about his background, life circumstances, or family connections.
The case was handled by the New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator, listed under Agency Case Number 1996-3986. However, due to the sparse details provided and the apparent lack of close relations, Alfred Henderson remains an unclaimed individual, as recorded under the Namus ID UCP251. His story is a reminder of the many challenges in piecing together the lives of individuals who lived on the margins of society.
