On November 22, 2017, the remains of an unidentified male, referred to as Juan Perez for case documentation, were discovered in Queens, New York. The body has been cataloged with the Namus ID UCP4899, and the case has remained unresolved for years, with Perez’s true identity yet to be confirmed. Despite thorough investigations, no family or acquaintances have come forward to claim the remains, leaving Perez's story untold and the mystery of his life unsolved.
The circumstances surrounding the discovery of Perez are scarce, with few leads as to how he came to be in Queens or the events leading up to the discovery of his body. The Office of Chief Medical Examiner of New York City (OCME) has taken responsibility for the case. They are dedicated to uncovering any information that might lead to identifying Perez and providing solace and closure to any potential relatives he might have.
The OCME, located at 520 First Avenue, New York, New York, and reachable at 212-447-2030, continues to seek the public’s assistance in solving this case. They encourage anyone with information, no matter how trivial it might seem, to come forward and assist in piecing together the narrative of this unclaimed individual. Details about the ongoing investigation and more can be found on their website at https://www.nyc.gov/site/ocme/index.page. By solving the mystery of Juan Perez, the agency hopes to finally lay his case to rest with dignity and respect.
