Unidentified Human Remains

Every person deserves a name.

Across the United States, individuals are recovered each year whose identities remain unknown. Some are unidentified for days or months. Others remain without a name for decades.

 

Behind every set of unidentified human remains is a person who lived a life, a story that deserves to be told, and, potentially, a family who may still be searching for answers.

 

Moxxy Forensic Investigations works alongside law enforcement agencies and forensic partners to help identify these individuals through investigative genetic genealogy, traditional genealogical research, and other investigative resources. Our goal is to help restore identities, provide answers to families, and ensure that these individuals are not forgotten.

Our Unidentified Human Remains cases

The individuals featured below remain unidentified, and Moxxy is assisting the investigating agencies in their efforts to restore their identities. Each case represents a person whose story deserves to be known and whose family may still be waiting for answers.

Case information is provided with the cooperation of the investigating agency and is limited to information that can be publicly released. As investigations progress, information may be updated to reflect new developments.

How You Can Help

Sometimes, one piece of information is all it takes.

 

Our unidentified individuals may have been waiting years—even decades—for someone to recognize their story. A memory, photograph, family connection, personal item, or other piece of information may help bring us one step closer to identifying them.

 

Do you recognize someone?
 

If you recognize an individual, a name, location, piece of clothing, tattoo, personal item, family connection, or any other detail associated with one of our cases, please reach out to us.

 

You don't need to be certain that your information is important. If something seems familiar, please tell us.

Please include the case name or location in your email, if known.

 

Help Us Reach the Right Person

Even if you don't have information yourself, sharing our cases may help them reach someone who does. A case shared with the right person could provide the missing piece of the story.

 

Thank you for helping us bring these individuals closer to being identified and, ultimately, returned to their families.
