Missing NPF is America's first and most comprehensive missing persons database focused on providing information of those who have gone missing on federally managed land in the United States of America. Missing NPF is the first website (launched in 2020) to cross-connect relevant information for each case file (investigative entity and locational data, particularly) and does not, generally, create content found in case files. Missing NPF is not a federal agency or law enforcement entity; Missing NPF is not a search-and-rescue operation.

The information posted inside case files comes from public reporting, and appropriate credit is given to the source (by name and linked URL) in a dedicated section of the case file. At any point in time, data available on Missing NPF should be considered incomplete. Missing NPF not only actively updates case files every day based on public reporting but also has a backlog of missing person cases that have yet to be added to the database; when the information available is simply not clear enough to determine whether the case file meets listing criteria, or the reporting organization has not released critical information needed for listing, we may refrain from listing the person until clarification can be obtained. We work hard to assess and release case files as quickly as practical, staying careful to provide the most accurate data available ethically and responsibly. If you plan on citing Missing NPF in your article or report, please note the above information and notate accordingly.

Missing NPF supports the call for federal agencies to establish, maintain, and share a full listing of those missing in U.S. National Parks and Forests. Meanwhile, we have established our own, and seek your collaboration in providing a meaningfully detailed source by which to expand public knowledge, identify trends, and empower future search efforts. Join us on this mission.
COLLABORATION. APPRECIATION.
First, thank you! The goal has always been to disseminate accurate data to as many people as we can, which is only possible through the help of you, the concerned public.
We would like to share our appreciation, publicly. Consider letting us know!
