Research & Statistics
At least twice per year since 2022, I analyze cases in NamUs and the CBI cold case database with the goal of weeding out closed cases so the focus can remain on those who have not yet been located.
You can follow along with my research on the 'In Process Database Audits' section of this page or click here to view in a new window if you cannot see the tabs at the bottom of the sheet.
I also review each name on the annual Colorado Missing Persons Name List once it is released by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. You can view my progress on the Colorado annual missing persons name lists here:

Stats as of 02/03/25:
44 Cases in NamUs are not listed in the CBI database. At least 8 cases in NamUs are confirmed closed and need to be removed. 30 cases will need to be added to the CBI database if they are not located by 3 year mark.
202 cases in the Colorado Cold Case Database are not listed in NamUs and need follow up. Some are likely alive and well, some ran away as teens and are now adults. 26 cases are confirmed closed or the person passed away after being located.
