On June 21, 2022, a set of unidentified skeletal remains were located in an empty lot in West Palm Beach, Florida. Anthropologist Dr. Heather Walsh-Haney was contacted who presented on June 22, 2022, to excavate the remains. On June 23, 2022, an autopsy/examination was performed by Dr. Wendolyn Sneed. The remains were then evaluated anthropologically by Dr. Heather Walsh-Haney. On June 23, 2023, the West Palm Beach Police Department advised of a missing person, Terrace Wright, a 25-year-old black male who had been missing since 2014. The decedents mother submitted DNA samples for a comparison. The result was negative as the comparison abilities were reportedly limited.

On August 7, 2023, BODE Technology confirmed via DNA comparison, positive identification of the decedent as Terrance Wright (DOB: 11/18/1989), the 25-year-old black male who had gone missing in 2014.
