Also, the dashboard was updated! Now it states that there are 151 cases solved by the DDP. The dashboard was actually revised — it now only displays the cases solved by the DDP. I actually prefer it — I think it must be difficult to know if cases are solved by others once they’ve been taken on by the DDP.

Namus currently stoped updating it’s cases.

This is because of the government shutdown.

Shutdown stalls national missing persons database, delaying help for Muldrow police

Muldrow police say the government shutdown left the NamUs.gov system unresponsive as they tried to post a missing teen’s case and request a DNA kit. The girl was found safe after being missing for nearly a month.

Assessments in 1988 suggested the then-unidentified woman was a white woman in her 40s or 50s. The genetic genealogy process revealed that Glanton was Black and in her early 70s.
