Our Mission

The Doe Network (http://www.doenetwork.org/) is a volunteer organization devoted to assisting Law Enforcement in solving cold cases concerning Unexplained Disappearances (http://www.doenetwork.org/mpindex.html) and Unidentified Victims (http://www.doenetwork.org/unidindex.html) from North America, Australia and Europe. It is our mission to give the nameless back their names and return the missing to their families. We hope to accomplish this mission in three ways; by giving the cases exposure on our website, by having our volunteers search for clues on these cases as well as making possible matches between missing and unidentified persons and lastly through attempting to get media exposure for these cases that need and deserve it.

We cooperate with several Missing Person, Law Enforcement agencies and Medical Examiners and strive to work with more in the future.

Notice:

Due to the overwhelming number of case submissions received recently, The Doe Network is ONLY accepting new cases submitted by law enforcement, medical examiners, Doe Network Area Directors, and family members of the missing at this time.

(2) to assist law enforcement and families in locating missing adults;
(3) to serve as a national repository of information accessible to the general public, advocacy groups, and law enforcement for the purpose of tracking missing adults who are determined by law enforcement to be endangered due to age, diminished mental capacity, or the circumstances of disappearance are suspicious, when foul play is suspected or circumstances are unknown;
(4) to maintain statistical information of adults reported as missing;
(5) to provide informational resources and referrals to families of missing adults;
(6) to assist in public notification and provide victim advocacy related to missing adults;

Case Criteria

All disappearance cases are for long-term cold cases of persons who went missing since 1999 or before. The Unidentified Victims cases are prior to 2006. The Doe Network does include cases of unidentified victims in our main database, that were located after this time period, but death was believed to have occurred at least in 2006. For deaths occurring in 2007 and 2008, see our Hot Case Criteria (http://www.doenetwork.org/criteria.html)

Many of the cases we feature have little evidence available. The Doe Network includes these cases regardless of the minimal clues at our disposal. For full details of our case criteria Click Here. (http://www.doenetwork.org/criteria.html)

http://www.namus.gov/

The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, NamUs, is the first national online repository for missing persons records and unidentified
decedent cases. It was launched in July 2007 (http://www.ojp.gov/newsroom/pressreleases/2007/NIJ07054.htm) by the Office of Justice Program’s National Institute of Justice (http://www.ojp.gov/nij).
NamUs is made up of two databases: (1) records of unidentified decedents (select "Unidentified Decedents”) and (2) missing persons reports (select “Missing Persons”).
Currently, the unidentified decedents database is searchable and available for medical examiners and coroners to upload their cases. The search capability of the missing persons database is in development; the site currently provides resources on State clearinghouses, medical examiners and coroners, law enforcement, victim assistance resources, and legislation.
In 2009, the two databases will be linked. Families, law enforcement agencies, medical examiners and coroners, victim advocates, and the general public will be able to search for matches between missing persons and unidentified decedent records.

DNA Testing of Unidentified Remains

The University of North Texas Health Science Center is coordinating with medical examiners' and coroners' offices, the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the National Center for Missing Adults, and law enforcement agencies to identify, collect, and perform DNA analysis on unidentified remains and reference samples.
For more information, contact the Center for Human Identification at 1-800-763-3147 or missingpersons@hsc.unt.edu (missingpersons@hsc.unt.edu).
DNA Reference Kits

The University of North Texas Health Science Center—funded by the National Institute of Justice—developed two standardized collection kits. One kit provides a safe, effective, noninvasive means for obtaining the appropriate family reference samples. A second kit provides for the collection, transportation, and storage of human remains samples. These kits were developed in conjunction with groups such as the FBI Laboratory, the National Association of Medical Examiners, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and the National Center for Missing Adults.
For more information, contact the Center for Human Identification at 1-800-763-3147 or missingpersons@hsc.unt.edu (missingpersons@hsc.unt.edu).
The President's DNA Initiative—Advancing Justice Through DNA Technology

DNA technology is increasingly vital to ensuring accuracy and fairness in the criminal justice system. DNA can be used to identify criminals with incredible accuracy when biological evidence exists, and DNA can be used to clear suspects, exonerate persons mistakenly accused or convicted of crimes, and solve missing persons and unidentified human remains cases.
To increase the use of DNA technology in the criminal justice system, the President announced a 5-year, more than $1 billion initiative to improve the use of DNA in the criminal justice system on March 11, 2003. The Initiative calls for increased funding, training, and assistance—to Federal, State, and local forensic labs; to police; to medical professionals; to victim service providers; and to prosecutors, defense lawyers, and judges—to ensure that this technology reaches its full potential to solve crimes, protect the innocent, and identify missing persons. This Initiative—Advancing Justice Through DNA Technology (http://www.dna.gov/info/e_summary)—has the following goals:

Eliminate the current backlog of unanalyzed DNA samples and biological evidence for the most serious violent offenses—rapes, murders, and kidnappings—and for convicted offender samples needing testing.
Improve crime laboratories' capacities to analyze DNA samples in a timely fashion.
Stimulate research and develop new DNA technologies and advances in all forensic sciences areas.
Develop training and provide assistance about the collection and use of DNA evidence to a wide variety of criminal justice professionals.
Provide access to appropriate postconviction DNA testing of crime scene evidence not tested at the time of trial.
Ensure that DNA forensic technology is used to its full potential to solve missing persons cases and identify human remains.
Protect the innocent.
The President's DNA Initiative will help ensure that DNA forensic technology is used to its full potential to identify missing persons by providing:
