These cases are the toughest to understand and comprehend. It must be emotionally taxing for you and your team while working them through but also rewarding in the end with identifying these precious babies, then an ARREST and ultimately JUSTICE for an innocent little life that barely had the chance to breath or exist.

Longview Police Department Teams with Othram to Identify a 1998 Baby Doe

''In June 1998, the remains of an unidentified infant were found near Fisher Lake in Longview, Texas, which is a city in Gregg County in northeast Texas. The Longview Police Department responded to the scene and found a newborn female infant in a trash bag who appeared to have been born healthy with evidence that she had been beaten to death, including injuries to her skull. Detectives began collecting evidence and opened a homicide investigation. Despite an exhaustive investigation, neither the baby nor the parents could...

What case will be solved next?!

I'm hoping for McCollum Park John Doe or "Mary Anderson", which are the only two outstanding cases you have for Washington state right now.

Loving it - fantastic use of AI - yay!! Available info and the linking of such has been a forever problem requiring volumes of hours by anyone in pursuit of an answer. Question - Who is going to have access to this platform? Namus is currently public; will there be a tiered approach or something where this same technology will be available for public use? In other words, am I going to be able to access it?

We have NamUs loaded into it and we will continue to add public datasets. Those can be accessed through open.othramos.com and this is available to everyone, at no cost, and with no login required.

We also have a paid subscription that folks can use if they want to analyze their own documents. For example, law enforcement agencies would use OthramOS to analyze their case files. Journalists might use it to analyzed public documents that are released through FOIA requests.

What a fantastic and generous resource you are providing. I appreciate that you all you are doing for the greater good.

Is the Namus feed realtime? Also, I'm probably answering my own thoughts here, but I would presume that if for example we have news articles relative to a case that those would need to be uploaded into the appropriate Namus record in order to make it into your system? I am big on research, particularly on older cases (known and not) pre-internet, and do that research through a paid subscription service. There are of course copyright issues around it. Does Othram have any projected plans to include different media resources as part of this system?

Right now it is not updated. It is just a demo. But we are working on a way to make it more dynamic.

In an ideal situation, we would excite NamUs and the National Institute of Justice in leveraging these newer kinds of tools for the NamUs database. If we could directly integrate, updates would be realtime and it would be easy to enable participation.
