Abstract

Missing persons and unidentified human remains (UHR) cases pose one of the greatest challenges that law enforcement agencies, investigators, and forensic scientists will encounter in their careers. In the United States alone, over 600,000 individuals are reported missing each year, according to the FBI’s National Crime Information Center (NCIC). Between 2007 and 2020, an average of 664,776 missing persons were reported annually in the United States (https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/ncic). Although many missing children and adults are eventually found alive, tens of thousands of individuals remain unaccounted for after being missing for more than a year.
