On March 13, 2018, Robert Harris Murray Jr., a 70-year-old man, became the subject of an unclaimed person case following his involvement in a motor vehicle accident in Memphis, Tennessee. The accident occurred at the intersection of Knight Arnold Road and Perkins Road. After the collision, Murray was transported by a Memphis Fire Department ambulance to the Regional One Health Elvis Presley Trauma Center. Upon his arrival, he self-identified to the hospital staff, providing crucial information for his initial identification. During his time at the hospital, it was noted that Murray did not indicate the presence of any family members, and none appeared to visit him throughout his hospitalization.
Tragically, Robert Harris Murray Jr. remained under medical care at the trauma center until he passed away on July 5, 2018. Despite the best efforts of the hospital staff and a positive identification confirmed by fingerprints submitted to the FBI, no next-of-kin have been identified or contacted to date. The absence of known relatives has left the case unresolved, with no family members coming forward to claim his remains. Consequently, arrangements were made for his burial, and on November 16, 2018, his remains were interred at Shelby County Cemetery.
The Memphis Police Department is the leading agency on this case, identified by Agency Case Number WC1807035. Efforts to locate any potential next-of-kin or individuals with knowledge of Murray's personal connections have been ongoing, but unfortunately, no new information has surfaced. For any inquiries or leads regarding this case, the department can be reached at their headquarters located at 170 North Main Street, Memphis, Tennessee. They invite anyone with relevant information to contact them at 901-636-3700 or visit their website at http://www.memphispolice.org/. The pursuit of closure for Robert Harris Murray Jr.'s case remains a priority, with hopes to find any family or acquaintances who may provide Murray the recognition and respect he deserves.
