On March 23, 2002, a body was discovered in Barstow, California, identified as Gains Gilford Cowan. Despite being identified, Cowan's remains have remained unclaimed over the years, leaving authorities with few avenues to find closure in this case. Critical details such as his height and weight remain unknown, adding to the challenges faced by investigators.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, specifically its Coroner Division, has been responsible for handling Cowan's case. The agency is located at 175 South Lena Road in San Bernardino, California. In an ongoing effort to resolve the situation, they can be reached at 909-387-2978.

The case has been assigned Agency Case Number 02-2012AA and Namus ID UCP63063. Over the years, the department has worked tirelessly to find any next of kin or individuals who may have known Cowan. Despite these efforts, the case highlights the challenges associated with unclaimed remains and the need for further outreach and investigation to bring resolution both to the authorities and any family that may be unaware of his passing.
