NamUs, a database of missing people and a list of both John Does and Jane Does, has been used to identify a missing woman by the name of Paula Davis, who disappeared in 1987.
Her sister Stephanie Clack only spent about 10 minutes on NamUs before discovering that one Jane Doe was indeed her sister Paula. Paula had been strangled and her body had been found along I-70 in Ohio and she was buried as a Jane Doe.
Stephanie Clack had learned about NamUs on an ABC show called The Forgotten and it is encouraged that if you have a loved one was is missing that you search there first to see if you can find any information.
The database includes both missing-person cases and a list of John Doe / Jane Doe bodies. Not only do police and medical examiners have access, the database is also searchable by the general public
