The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) is a national
information clearinghouse and resource center for missing, unidentified, and
unclaimed person cases across the United States.
600,000
Individuals go missing every year
4,400
Unidentified bodies are recovered each year
THE NATION'S SILENT MASS DISASTER
The sheer volume of missing and unidentified person cases poses one of the
greatest challenges to agencies tasked with resolving these important cases.
Over 600,000 individuals go missing in the United States every
year.[1] Fortunately, many missing children and adults are quickly found, alive
and well. However, tens of thousands of individuals remain missing for more than
one year – what many agencies consider “cold cases”.
It is estimated that 4,400 unidentified bodies are recovered each year, with
approximately 1,000 of those bodies remaining unidentified after one year.[2]
NAMUS PROGRAM
NamUs is a national information clearinghouse and resource center for missing,
unidentified, and unclaimed person cases across the United States. Funded and
administered by the National Institute of Justice and managed through a contract
with RTI International, all NamUs resources are provided at no cost to law
enforcement, medical examiners, coroners, allied forensic professionals, and
family members of missing persons.
