Kentucky State Police officials say you could possibly help lower that number. The National Missing and Unidentified Person System or NAMIS is a resource center for missing persons and unidentified decedent records and while it is a great resource used by police, medical examiners and coroners it's also available to the public. You're never just a finger touch away from anywhere in the world or anything on the internet and this is one positive thing that we can actually use to help solve a case. NAMIS was recently in the news helping close a 47 year old cold case in Harlan County. After searching the NAMIS website a woman realized remains found in 1969 might be those of her mother. A family member had actually got on there and discovered that this female was potentially her family member so the body was exhumed and it was found out that it was indeed this person's family member. Anyone can search the NAMIS site which has three databases one for missing persons, one for unidentified remains and an unclaimed person's database which contains information about bodies that have been identified but no next of kin have been found and by registering on the site anyone with a missing family member can add information about their loved one. They can get in there and add what their information they may want to add to this missing person. To access the database and begin your search go to NAMIS.gov. You just get on there and look around and see if you may be able to put some puzzle piece and maybe help us solve a crime. Reporting in Pikeville for EKB news I'm Shannon Deskins.
