In the case of the unclaimed person, Debbie Jo Kope, the female decedent was found on June 3, 2019, in Tacoma, Washington, and was subsequently documented under the Namus ID: UCP59238. Debbie Jo Kope was a 59-year-old woman who was admitted to medical care on May 8, 2019. During her admission, she underwent an examination, but unfortunately, her health declined despite the medical treatments administered to her. As her condition continued to worsen, medical professionals placed her on comfort measures aimed at alleviating her suffering during the final stages of her life.

Debbie Jo Kope's next of kin was identified; however, they faced financial constraints that were severe enough to render them unable to afford the costs associated with her burial or cremation.
