On August 15, 2014, a deceased male body, later identified as Charles Ricky James, was discovered in a residence in Fort Myers, Florida. Despite the efforts of the Fort Myers Police Department, all attempts to locate any known next of kin have been unsuccessful. The circumstances surrounding his death remain uncertain, and the case has added a somber note to the records of unclaimed persons in the area.
The Fort Myers Police Department took on the responsibility of trying to connect Charles Ricky James with any living relatives. Given the exhaustive efforts to track down next of kin, the department turned its attention to ensuring that his remains were handled with care and respect. Upon exhausting all avenues in identifying any relatives or close contacts, his body was released to a contracted county funeral home. The agency hoped this step would provide a modicum of dignity in Mr. James's final disposition, even in the absence of family.
Members of the department, located at 2210 Widman Way in Fort Myers, Florida, are committed to reviewing any new information that might lead to connecting Charles Ricky James with potential relatives. Although the case remains unsolved in terms of family identification, the department stands by to receive any tips from the public via their contact number, 239-321-7700, ensuring that any leads can be pursued to provide closure for both the community and any surviving family that may still be out there.
