We do enter long term (90 days or more) missing persons cases into NamUs. We have had DNA submitted to and processed by UNT through NamUs in the past. As Henry mentioned, with NamUs’ status being in a strange predicament, I’m not sure how things will proceed. I see that NamUS went from having numerous Regional Program Specialists (RPS) to only one. We used to communicate with our RPS and she would communicate with family members wishing to submit DNA and that’s how the ball started rolling here in Montana. Things are definitely up in the air now.
