A traveling carnival worker found dead in Farmingdale six months ago. Unearthed skeletons dating back to 1978. Half of the 10 sets of remains discovered amid the ongoing Long Island Serial Killer investigation.
These are among the 38 sets of unidentified human remains that Nassau and Suffolk county coroners have been trying for years to identify. Under a recently enacted New York State law, medical examiners are now required to list descriptions of such remains in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs), a federal database designed to help identify John and Jane Does. But adding to the difficulty in finding matches is the sites underutilization and a funding fight that could hamper its efforts.
NamUs is one of he most underutilized tools, not just from law enforcement, but also from the public, said retired NYPD Det. Joseph Giacalone, a former cold case investigator. Its one of the greatest tools that can be used to solve some of these cases, but no one knows about it.
Out of the 11,287 open cases of unidentified deceased persons nationwide listed in NamUs, 1,289 are in New York State, including 27 in Suffolk and 11 in Nassau, as of this story. NamUs is credited with helping put names to 35 percent of cases listed in its database since it was launched nearly a decade ago. It also has functions for missing persons and identified unclaimed deceased persons.
