The Michigan State Police, Detroit Police Department and Wayne County Medical Examiner’s Office, in partnership with the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, are teaming up in an effort to help solve missing persons cases.

From 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. June 25, family DNA reference samples will be collected to help solve missing person cases and identify human remains housed at the Wayne County Morgue. This service is free of charge and will be held at the Wayne County Medical Examiner’s Office, 1300 E. Warren, in Detroit.

Families are encouraged to bring police reports, photos, X-rays, medical and dental records, as well as at least two biological relatives of their missing loved one to the event.

According to the MSP, events such as these can help law enforcement identify missing persons throughout the country. Earlier this year, skeletal remains recovered in 1994 involving a woman who was found in an abandoned farm house in St. Clair County were identified with the help of family DNA reference samples. The remains were identified as Diann Tatum from Cincinnati, Ohio, who went missing in 1988.

Michigan has more than 4,000 missing person cases documented with law enforcement agencies and more than 100 sets of unidentified human remains. Family members who submit their DNA could provide the answers they are seeking in their loved one’s disappearance.

Only after the last tree has been
cut down;
Only after the last fish has been
caught;
Only after the last river has been
poisoned;
Only then will you realize
that money cannot be eaten.
