Iowa Unidentified Persons/Bodies

The State of Iowa has six unidentified bodies on file. These cases have been entered into the National Crime Information Center Computer System for possible matches against the missing person file. However, if the individual has never been entered as missing by any agency there will be no match. The purpose of placing these cases on the Internet is to reach a more diversified audience that might have knowledge about the identification of any one of these individuals. If you have any information relating to any of these cases, please call the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation at 515-281-7958 or contact us by e-mail.

Caution: Every effort has been made to present this information in a way that is not offensive to the viewer. Given the nature of the information, it may be uncomfortable for some viewers. While no photographs of live individuals or remains are presented, there are images of clay reconstructions of the persons whose remains are unidentified, along with images of tattoos and personal effects found with the remains. These images are presented in order to enhance the possibility of successfully identifying any of these individuals.
