On May 8, 2021, the body of a male, later identified as Ronald Dean Edwards, was discovered in a lake in Memphis, Tennessee. The discovery was made by a fisherman who promptly called 911 to report the unresponsive individual. Upon arrival, emergency responders found Edwards deceased, and he was subsequently taken in for examination. The Memphis Police Department oversaw the investigation, handling the case under the identifier 2105003016ME.
The Medical Examiner's office played a crucial role in identifying Edwards through radiological methods. Despite their successful identification of Edwards, attempts to locate or notify any next of kin have thus far been unsuccessful. This leaves the case of Ronald Dean Edwards' unclaimed status unresolved, with no family members coming forward to claim his remains or provide additional information about his life and background.
The Memphis Police Department continues to search for any relatives or acquaintances of Ronald Dean Edwards in hopes of closing this chapter adequately. Any information that may aid in connecting Edwards to potential family members is encouraged. For those with relevant information, the department can be contacted at their main office located at 170 North Main Street, Memphis, Tennessee, with the phone number 901-636-3700. The department also maintains an online presence where further details and updates regarding ongoing cases can be found at their official website, http://www.memphispolice.org/.
As the investigation continues, the department remains committed to finding closure in this case, hoping to finally provide Edwards with the dignity of family recognition and the respect he deserves.
