Doe Network: Naming the Nameless and Returning the Missing to Their Families

The Doe Network is a 100% volunteer organization devoted to assisting investigating agencies in bringing closure to national and international cold cases concerning Missing & Unidentified Persons. Their mission is to give the nameless back their names and return the missing to their families. This is accomplished in three ways:

1. by providing exposure to these cases on their website,
2. by providing credible potential matches between missing and unidentified persons to investigating agencies, and
3. by striving to get much-needed and deserved media exposure to these cases.
