And another thing they do is they hire people who draw portraits and stuff just for free. We'll take a dead body and sketch out what the face would look like or take a missing person and sketch out what their face would look like now. Oh. And they all do it for free. Wow. It's pretty amazing. Next place where we give money for the t-shirts? I don't know.
Shit. And that's 2007. Yeah. The National Crime Information Center records nearly 90,000 missing people at any given time. So 40,000 of those unmarked, unidentified people, their websites list 70 successful identity resolutions that the site has assisted with. Oh, that's nice. 36 had occurred within the first five years. And Tent Girl was the first case to be identified by use of the internet.
Wow. Isn't that incredible? Todd Matthews. He just like was an obsessive compulsive with this case. And because of that, so many families have been able to find out what happened to their loved ones. And I'm so fascinated with those stories of like, she left home one day and we thought we'd hear from her again and we didn't. And we don't know if she's alive or not.
She might've just fucking moved on and hated our dad and you know. Right. But then they find, they're like, you know, by the side of the road, this person with this crazy tattoo is found. And why can't we identify this person? And so they put all this stuff in the thing. That's very cool. Yeah. Tent girl. There's a photo of her. It looks a lot like the drawing.
Sad, right? Yeah.
I know.
Yeah. Yeah. And I've kind of been wanting to do, I've been thinking a lot lately about like, what can I, how can I volunteer my time in some way that we're, this true crime thing we're doing? And I'm like, you know, do I work for, do I go volunteer for women's shelter or something like that? And this is like, I feel like that's what these people are doing is they're like,
They're not making any money. They have jobs. They don't need them. They just want to help. It's just they're really into these crazy puzzles and piecing these things together and they just do it.
Yeah.
I like that. So maybe I'll do something like that. And I can't draw, but I can look at tattoos and remember if... they were found on dead bodies or not do it I'm really good at that remembering no I'm not
That's a good one. Totally.
Well, I guess that's it. Yeah. Thank you for listening. Thank you so much. Can you guys, if you rate, review and subscribe on iTunes, that helps us a lot and we appreciate it. And gosh, it's nice having you guys listen in this podcast. Also, Elvis is sitting right in front of Stephen's face because Stephen gave him a cookie last time.
Gee whiz. Gee whiz. Gee willikers, everybody. Thank you. Thanks. And you know what? Stay sexy. And don't get murdered. Elvis, you want a cookie? Want a cookie?
Bye. Bye.
Yes, there are updates. This is one of those cases I love that there is this tragic story and something beautiful comes out of it because of humans and humanity and... You know, caring about causes that have nothing to do with you and just personalizing them. So I love this story. And I love Todd Matthews. And unfortunately, he passed away earlier this year. He was only 53.
And his contributions to the cyber detective community live on through the Doe Network and NamUs. And there's a article you can check out if you want on Vice called The Pioneering Cyber Detective Who Cracked a 30-Year-Old Cold Case by Sammy Carmella that I recommend. And together, the Doe Network and NamUs have resolved over 65,000 missing, unidentified, and unclaimed persons' cases.
Which is incredible. So get involved in that if you're good at sleuthing. I'm not. Yeah.
Well, yeah, like when I had a boring desk job and didn't do anything, I wish I had known about this. Instead, I was just blogging.
So that doesn't feel as good as like helping find missing people.
That's all. That's my fucking goal in life and my creed, my creed and my motto.
