Hello-- Unidentified persons threads are SO not my forte. Can anyone recommend the best place to post this link? Somewhat local, so it came up in my news feed today. I know that some of you are absolute rock stars with recalling specific missing person's cases (by state, etc) and I'm just hoping to get these pics under THOSE eyeballs. Thanks!! :0)

I have a question!
Is DNA always taken from unidentified remains and if so what year did they start doing this?
What I’m trying to determine is if the families dna has been entered into Namus and there was no matches, is it still possible that their missing loved one is a Jane Doe out there, or no it means the body is still undiscovered?
Thank you!
I have pondered what is the best way to go about this too and I found it was easier to start with the missing person. That way you know that you definitely have someone who is a potential Doe. If you start with the Doe, there is far from any guarantee that they were ever listed as a missing person so you may be looking for a match that will never be there.I'm interested in trying to help identify Does but I have no idea where to start. There are so many missing and Does. I was looking at Does and seeing if I was drawn to any to look into, and then I thought actually maybe I'm doing it the wrong way round. Maybe the best way would be to research a missing person and try and match them to a Doe.
Which do you think is the best way? To start with the missing or start with the Doe?
Also another question is there a database of British Does anywhere? All in all I don't think there seem to be as many Does in the UK, as far as I know.. but there are a lot of missing so I wonder if there is a British Doe database.

There should be a contact name and number on the Namus site for the missing person. Contact that and give them all the information you have on your John Doe. Hope it’s a match!I have a quick question and was wondering if anyone could offer any advice?
I have a John Doe I have been trying to identify that I learned about while searching the Los Angeles Coroner's unidentified index. I recently discovered a MP on NAMUS that seems like a possible match, however my doe isn't currently listed on NAMUS.
I have a feeling this is my Doe, but obviously I can't be sure. How should I go about getting this info to the right source?
Date last seen is the last time someone who knows them saw them. Date reported is when they made the missing persons report.Quick NamUs question what is the difference between date last seen and date reported? I'm looking into a case that says date last seen Nov.1, 2005 but under the contact agency their information says date reported as November 4, 2008. That is a big difference and would make a difference for my possible match I'm working on.

For example, someone may have last seen/talked to their daughter in 2004 and then when they reach out in 2006 and can’t get a hold of her and realize she’s missing, then they report. She could have gone missing anytime in between when she was last seen and when she was reported.
