On September 30, 1976, the body of an unidentified white male was discovered floating face down in Lake Michigan near 900 North Lincoln Memorial Drive in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Authorities recovered the deceased, but no identification was found on him. The only distinctive marking was a tattoo on his upper left arm that read "Norm" in script writing, offering a small clue to his identity. Without further leads, his case remained unresolved for decades.
Years later, advancements in forensic identification led to the revelation that this previously unidentified man was Norton H. Secore, Jr. With his identity now known, efforts have turned toward locating his next of kin. Finding his family is crucial—not only to provide closure, but also to determine if there are loved ones seeking answers about his disappearance.
The investigation remains in the hands of the Milwaukee Police Department - District 1. Authorities continue their search for any relatives or individuals who may have known Secore. Anyone with information that could assist in identifying his next of kin is encouraged to contact the department at 414-933-4444.
Date Found: 09/30/1976
