www.NAMus.gov a.k.a the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, is designed to search for matches against the Missing Persons Database. National Unidentified Persons System, is a publicly viewable searchable database created to assist in solving cases that involve unidentified human remains. The system is compiled of cases found all throughout the United States.
New records are added every day by medical examiners and coroners across the country, in hope of increasing the chances that these unidentified persons will be named. Registration is not necessary to search the database, but coroners and medical examiners are required to register in order to enter case information.

Many cases don't have accompanying photo's, and when they do they tend to shy away from showing extensively gruesome crime scenes in case a family member should find a missing loved one during a search (just finding these took hours @_@). But they do show head shots whenever possible , & sometimes they're even freakier
Sometimes sad...
And sometimes down right funny looking

(Not all the cases had descriptions, but I've included as many as I could )

Can you identify any of these people

Decedent was found floating in the saltwater basin at the Peterson Yacht Basin. He had no identification on him. His condition indicates he may have been homeless. He might also be earless




Decedent was found hanging from a tree branch in wooded area of Cloves Lake Park. A bag of clothing was found hanging from a nearby tree.





This lady frightens me :(




Nobody's gonna identify this guy with his dental records...




The unidentified migrant was found in desert by USBP. The unidentified migrant received medical attention from emergency responders. Fingerprints matching the unidentified person were processed by the USBP on 1/30/2006: At this time the person provided name "Menaldo Arryo-Abendano", and date of birth 4/21/1970
Is it just me, or does this guy look a little like Brometheus...?

probably most of them illegal immigrants and family wondering why they don't hear of them again.

Nice resolution on some of those

Great post. It would be awful seeing a loved one after they'd been missing for some time and finding a shot of them like that, holy hell. 5th looks like he died scared out of his damn mind. 6th looks rather peaceful, though.

So many people "Go missing" and just fall off the face of the earth...Sad! By the way, I did not recognize anyone!

Pic #3 and #7, are my favorites. I wonder if they pocket the gold teeth, if nobody claims these bodies. They are gonna cremate them anyway! Im not sure I could bring myself to do that, but id understand if others did.
