Catalog scope and provenance
Public names, original sources, and a clear boundary.
The missing-person index retains only minimal public metadata from NamUs and supported public agency directories: name, official record link and ID, last-contact date or year when available, city or State, source label, and verification date. Resolved, unpublished, inaccessible, or unverified records are excluded from the generated catalog.
Catalog data was last rebuilt . Counts describe records currently indexed by Almost Solved, not an official national or statewide total.
