Through support by the Bureau of Justice Assistance’s Missing and Unidentified Human Remains (MUHR) Program, the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office identified an individual found on June 28, 2022, as Juan Francisco Magdaleno Gomez after a thorough re-examination of personal effects recovered with the decedent. Among the recovered personal effects, a T-Mobile receipt listing the surname “Gomez,” along with a small notebook containing an email address, provided initial leads. These items enabled investigators to locate a Facebook profile resembling the decedent. Investigators subsequently made contact with a potential relative, who confirmed that his cousin had gone missing in the summer of 2022. Case details and a photograph of the decedent were shared, and the relative recognized the individual, supporting the identification.
