National Missing and Unidentified Persons System

The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) is a federal resource that helps locate missing persons and identify unidentified remains. It provides a centralized database for law enforcement, medical examiners, and families to share and access information about missing persons and unrecognized deceased individuals. By offering tools, data, and support, NamUs aims to facilitate the resolution of missing person cases and help bring closure to families. It is a free, accessible platform dedicated to improving cooperation and information sharing across jurisdictions nationwide.
