DESCRIPTION:
(from National Geograhic's press release, July 2025) Across the United States, more than 50,000 bodies remain unidentified - unmourned and unnamed, but not forgotten. NAMING THE DEAD, a riveting new six-part investigative series from National Geographic, brings these untold stories to light. The series follows the groundbreaking work of the DNA Doe Project, a trailblazing nonprofit that uses genetic genealogy to help law enforcement crack the country's most confounding cold cases. With unprecedented access to active investigations, NAMING THE DEAD captures the relentless pursuit of truth by a dedicated team of genealogists, detectives, coroners and journalists. Each episode plays out as a high-stakes mystery, where the clues are fragmented, the timelines span decades, and the emotional stakes couldn't be higher. Through distant DNA matches, fragile paper trails, and sheer determination, these forgotten victims are finally given what they deserve: a name, a history, and a chance at justice. Blending cutting-edge science with deeply human storytelling, NAMING THE DEAD is a gripping testament to the power of identity and the people who refuse to let the lost be forgotten. |
