To resolve missing and unidentified persons cases, law enforcement agencies need resources for DNA collection and testing, anthropology, odontology, and other forensic fields. That requires a full team — including forensic scientists and intelligence analysts — to support complex cases. 

The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System can help. 

Administered by the National Institute of Justice, NamUs connects agencies with no-cost investigative tools and resources, including state-of-the-art technology, to securely store, share, and compare case information with other criminal justice professionals. It can help locate missing loved ones and possibly prevent future crimes.
