Despite efforts to locate his next of kin (NOK), authorities were unable to find any family members or individuals who could claim responsibility for Richard Unegbu's remains. Without any family or next of kin coming forward, the situation necessitated county intervention, leading to his cremation.

The case was overseen by the Knoxville Police Department, located at 1650 Huron Street, Knoxville, Tennessee. As the primary agency handling the situation, they assigned it the case number 17-002796. The department worked diligently to uncover any personal connections or familial ties for Richard Unegbu, but their search yielded no results.
