Free National Search Engine Provides Resources For Missing Persons Cases

Kentucky citizens can now help with missing persons cases throughout the country by using a free search engine from the U.S. Department of Justice. The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, or NamUs, is a national, centralized resource center for missing persons and unidentified decedent records. It can be searched by anyone, from law enforcement to the general public. KSP Lt. Michael Webb, commander of the agency’s Public Affairs Branch, said “By registering in the system…the general public will be able to add new missing persons cases as well as physical and circumstantial details, photographs, dental contacts, and other critical pieces of information” For more information on the NamUs program, visit namus.gov.
