The Merced County Sheriff-Coroner’s Office is asking the public for help locating the families of Larry Eugene Gustafson, 89, and Lani Erlene Moore, 80.

Despite searching numerous personal records, the office has been unable to reach their immediate relatives, a necessary step to release the bodies and allow for proper burials.
