On May 19, 2017, the body of James D. Holland, an unclaimed male decedent, was discovered in his residence in Mililani, Hawaii. This tragic finding brought to light a case that remains unresolved, highlighting the often overlooked issue of individuals who pass away without next of kin or anyone to claim their remains.

Despite their efforts, the agency has thus far been unable to locate any next of kin, leaving James's case unresolved and his remains unclaimed.
