Unlisted Missing and Unidentified Persons Research

[victoriarobinson642]

I don't think it's a flaw in the spreadsheet - I'm just having a hard time adding the link to cases here in this thread Without showing my personal info - from my subscription services.

Are you all tracking whether or not there is a photo available? I have come across a photo of one of the persons on the list but not clear if it might be needed - how should I handle that?

Not specifically. Neither of us could figure out how to add photos without messing with the formatting.

I've been comparing the first list with NaMus just for now

What do you mean, are you checking to see if they are in Namus since the spreadsheet was created?

How about just adding a column/field that indicates a photo is available? I know that's adding to what is there, but we could do that moving forward. That way we would know - the photo is so important if it is available.

I found two very possible ones.. maybe just another set of eyes helping

Thanks - I'm just trying to understand - are you checking to see if mps and uids are in namus or looking for matches or all of the above?

I'm going down the sheet of mps and trying to find matches in NaMus. then i'll probably switch up and look at the for people in the first sheet and also in namus

I need some help on KTH, Naples FL, https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/56363520/person/30028337327/facts LE is interested. But I should have looked in newspapers beforehand. Because there's no notices, just the tree saying she's missing. The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) is the proposed match. But if this is right, she isn't missing. https://hover.hillsclerk.com/CaseReport/CreateReport CASE NUMBER: 99-DR-009580 at least not until after 2008. It would be odd though, why would SHE ask to have the insurance awarded to HIM? There's no appearances then, it could have all been faked *shrug* No idea.
Bah, I really think this one is wrong now. I don't think she's missing after all, based on court records. Yet another screwup on my part. I need to double check the tree maker. That should have been obvious. Another humiliating experience.

Update: law enforcement saw the divorce and thought it was weird too. They are reaching out to the ancestry tree owner. So maybe I’m not as much of a loser as I thought. Thanks for giving me something to think about other than the election.

GY, missing since May 1992 from Polk County, GA

2001 newspaper link above includes photo. There are also articles available in newspapers.com in 1992-93. He is not listed on Namus, nor could I find any update through simple Google search.

AW, missing since 1969 out of Indiana. Listed in the Warsaw-Times. Snip below showing date, page #. Photo included and husband/family names for any Ancestry researching. I have the original article (as a .png file).

Update: The original post included the 2nd lady (CS) - I was able to confirm she returned.

I found a match I think, EB, out of NC, The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) sent it to the PO.

I was looking at that last night; a good possible match, I think. Couldn't find anything additional on EB.

FL - AS and AS, 2 wealthy socialites, suspected victims of Michael Raymond in mid 70s
(photo is provided on 1st AS)

1st AS went missing in 1975, 2nd AS went missing in Feb 1977. To my knowledge, neither were ever recovered. Charges were brought and dismissed in 1st AS case. There are other articles (as late as 1996 in the Sun Sentinel) that suggest he is responsible for at least 5 murders.

Article on 2nd AS, including photo is below

AS (FL) is already on the list but the photo of her is appreciated.

OK - I updated the listing in the spreadsheet to indicate photo available - how shall I add the photo, or whom shall I send to, or shall I just hold onto it?

Also 2nd AS, missing since 1977, certain she is still missing, also a photo of her is available.

Please let me know how best to handle - I'll get my mojo going sooner than later - promise

I can't seem to find any records for AW and it's driving me nuts!

Link the photo in the photo column to the word 'yes'.

Married name was there, as well as mention of having children (maybe 4 or 5). Perhaps that will be helpful - hope so

It's absolutely infuriating to know so many bodies are not in NaMus that could be, not even counting that 40,000 plus they say have no records and were cremated. NaMus is so underused. I saw that Indiana list linked here and about died.

Post mortem warning, do you think this The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) person matches VMZ, left the California state hospital? Should I submit?
