Missing Persons & True Crime Resources
A simple starting point for missing persons resources, true crime database links, possible authority contact directories, American case databases, and international missing persons resources.
This page is the main resource hub for readers looking for missing person database links, unidentified persons resources, unsolved homicide archives, and possible police or authority contact information.
Start with the section that best matches your need: browse American missing persons databases, search international missing persons databases, or use the police and authority contact directory as a reference list that may help point you toward the correct agency.
Important Notice
Never Quit Looking is not a law enforcement agency and cannot receive emergency reports, official tips, or case reports in place of police.
If someone is in immediate danger, contact emergency services directly through the appropriate local emergency number.
The police and authority contact page is provided as a directory of possible resources only. These offices, agencies, embassies, or public safety contacts may be able to help direct you toward the correct authority, but we cannot guarantee that any listed contact is the proper department for a specific case.
Choose a Resource Directory
These three directories organize starting points for missing persons, unidentified persons, unclaimed persons, unsolved homicides, overseas missing persons cases, and true crime research.
Police & Authority Contact Resources
This directory gathers possible police, embassy, public safety, missing persons, and investigative agency contact resources that may help readers find the right authority.
- Use as a starting point when you are trying to identify who may have jurisdiction.
- Listed contacts may redirect you to a more appropriate office or department.
- Always confirm the correct reporting agency before submitting case information.
American Missing Persons Databases
Browse American missing persons databases, unidentified persons resources, unclaimed persons listings, unsolved homicide archives, and public case databases.

International Missing Persons Databases
Search international missing persons databases, worldwide unidentified persons resources, and country-specific true crime database links.

- Includes country-specific resources with local and English country names.

Where Should I Start?
Trying to find the right authority?
Use the Contact Directory
The police and authority page is a reference list of possible contacts. It may help you locate an agency, embassy, or public office that can direct you toward the proper authority.
Case is in the United States?
Use American Resources
For U.S. cases, begin with American national databases, state systems, sheriff pages, police case lists, and medical examiner resources.
Case involves another country?
Use International Resources
For overseas missing persons cases, international unidentified persons, or cross-border disappearances, search the country-specific directory.
Research Caution
Public true crime databases and missing persons archives can help with awareness and research, but case status, names, dates, and investigative details may change. Before reposting information or contacting families, confirm details with the official agency responsible for the case.
