On October 20, 2002, the remains of Carl Joseph Lindgren were discovered in Redlands, California. Despite being found over two decades ago, Lindgren's case remains an unsolved mystery that continues to baffle authorities and occupies an unresolved place in the records of the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department - Coroner Division. With no known height or weight documented at the time of discovery, investigators were left with limited information to piece together the circumstances surrounding his death.
This case, cataloged under the agency case number 02-7022DC and with a Namus ID of UCP63094, has drawn perplexing questions regarding Lindgren's identity and how he came to be in Redlands. It is a missing piece of a larger puzzle, as further details about his life prior to his death, and the events leading up to his discovery remain obscured.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, based at 175 South Lena Road in San Bernardino, California, remains the leading agency working on Lindgren’s case. In their enduring effort to close this case, they have maintained open lines of communication for any leads. They can be reached at their contact number, 909-387-2978, and more information is available on their coroner division’s website. Investigators and concerned citizens alike hope that someday, more information will emerge to shed light on Carl Joseph Lindgren’s untimely death and grant him the dignity of a resolution to his story.
