The New Mexico Department of Public Safety has a missing persons database, but it is very poorly maintained. Specifically, they have a habit of not removing MPs once they are located.
The problem is so bad that it’s got to the point that I refuse to list MPs from the New Mexico DPS database unless I can verify from another source that they are actually still missing.
Case in point, something I just saw while checking the database for a case that’s on NamUs:
Yeah, Michaela? She’s on there twice as you can see. She disappeared on January 15 and then again on February 6. Same person, some photo. Camille has disappeared on November 23, January 18, and February 9.
Sigh.

Yep, you know how this unnerves me too. GEEEZ, people are so lazy this is just lazy, at least Jessica Hager always fixes the stuff at NamUs for us.
Yeah. And the New Mexico DPS people are at least getting paid.
Yep, that’s New Mexico! Screwing things up since 1912. Beautiful place to live though, so we put up with the bureaucratic laziness.
Don’t forget the meth! Or has Walter White stopped breaking bad since the advent of Obamacare?
I’m still trying to confirm if Michelle Quintana http://charleyproject.org/case/michelle-quintana who went missing from Santa Fe, New Mexico on August 8, 1987 is still a missing person. Nobody seems to know in New Mexico law enforcement.
Well, that’s annoying. If she’s not missing I’m going to be very embarrassed.
I’m pretty sure she is, I just can’t get anyone to confirm it. If she was recovered, there was no mention of it.
Government employees can be extremely lazy. I hope someone sues that department
In the case file of Manouchehr Nafar, his race is defined as Asian, but he was an Iranian, and Iranians are Caucasian/White despite the country of Iran locates in Asian
I’ll look into that, decide what to do.
Indeed. Iranians are more Caucasian than anything else. And Farsi is an Indo-European language.
I’ve altered his casefile accordingly.
It appears that some of these listed are chronic runaways and that is why they have different ‘last seen’ dates.
While it would be better for the dept to remove the older resolved entries, if you cared to list them, then I’d go with the most recent date of last seen.
There are some very interesting discussion about Jeanette Florence Allen Ratino’s case at Websleuth https://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?369700-MD-Jeanette-Allen-Ratino-20-Calvert-County-April-1986
Yeah I saw that.
And from this facebook page, (https://www.facebook.com/CalvertSheriff/photos/rpp.141986525861983/1734010139992939/?type=3&theater), she worked at a post office in Capitol Heights in 1985 or early 1986, according to her niece, she married to a guy name John Allen, but according to websleuth, there is a marriage record indicated that She married a Korean man with the last name Yang on 9 Aug 1983, whoever was her husband when she disappeared, he did not report her missing, I wonder why
Looks like she had quiet a few criminal records, most of Misdemeanor, but at least one Felony: http://casesearch.courts.state.md.us/casesearch/inquiryDetail.jis?caseId=00601102O5&loc=16&detailLoc=ODYCRIM
