Missing person reports are difficult cases to investigate. Due to the great number of people who are reported missing annually, it has often been described as a “silent epidemic.”
In the United States alone, over 600,000 persons disappear annually. Another 4,400 unidentified bodies are recovered by authorities during the same period. (Source: NAMUS.org)
Many of those missing often return home voluntarily or are located by law enforcement. Countless others remain missing.
Those who remain missing do so voluntarily for personal reasons or are fugitives from justice, purposely evading law enforcement to prevent their arrest. Others fall prey to human traffickers or as the result of enforced disappearances orchestrated by dictators and criminal cartels. Migration, wars, genocide, and natural and transportation disasters round out the list of reasons why people disappear.
Unidentified bodies found by authorities require specialized skills and technology to help forensic investigators identify them. We offer investigative support in the form of age progression photos, facial reconstruction, and craniofacial superimposition using skull-to-face overlay technology.
