National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

Official U.S. missing, unidentified, and unclaimed person information system. NamUs is an appropriate source category for cold-case target records when the review team needs official case references.

NEUTRALEvidence tier 1

Key findings

Provides a central public resource for missing and unidentified person cases.
Supports official case records rather than rumor-driven target selection.
Pairs well with strict no-score, no-accusation aggregate review policies.

Critical context

Availability and details can change; the review team should verify live case pages before creating or submitting any case packet.

Protocol lesson for Go Remote Viewing

Use NamUs case facts as the hidden target source, then keep viewer submissions blind until the collection window closes.
