About Us

"Who founded DoeNetwork? The Doe Network was not founded or created by a single person, but rather it was established through the collaborative efforts of various individuals, including law enforcement officials, forensic specialists, and concerned citizens, who recognized the need for a centralized resource for identifying and locating missing persons and unidentified remains."

- Todd Matthews

The Doe Network began as a website in 1999, before evolving into an informal volunteer organization in 2001, and finally becoming an official 501c non-profit organization on July 29, 2011. This highlights the organization's growth and development over the years, as well as its continued commitment to providing resources and support for families of missing persons and to the investigation of unidentified remains.
