On March 13, 2020, the body of a male identified as Hak Jong Lee was discovered in Queens, New York. Despite exhaustive investigative efforts, including the application of forensic techniques and public appeals, the individual has remained unclaimed. This case bears the NamUs ID UCP67865 and has persisted for over three years, presenting a somber mystery within the urban backdrop of New York City.
The investigation into Hak Jong Lee's unclaimed status has been conducted by the Office of Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) in New York City. The OCME has employed its comprehensive resources to ascertain Lee's background and next of kin, but no affiliations or family connections have surfaced to date. The case has garnered attention from community members and media, yet the absence of any leads continues to stall progress in laying Hak Jong Lee to rest with his loved ones.
For those seeking further details or willing to contribute information that could aid in resolving this case, the NYC Office of Chief Medical Examiner welcomes direct outreach. Situated at 520 First Avenue in New York, the agency maintains open lines for inquiries or information provision through their contact number, 212-447-2030. Additional resources and updates can be accessed via the agency’s website at https://www.nyc.gov/site/ocme/index.page. Under the Agency Case Number Q20-08852, the OCME hopes the continued efforts will lead to the closure this case rightfully deserves.
