Can not wait to watch this!!

Naming the Dead Premieres this weekend on NatGeoTV, Hulu, and Disney+!

Want to do more than just watch the series?

Host a Watch Party and bring your friends, family, or community together to raise awareness and support DNA Doe Project’s work.

Whether you’re gathering in person, online, or hosting a hybrid event, your Watch Party can help bring names back to the nameless—one guest, one story, and one donation at a time. Each host will receive a custom fundraising link to share with guests, making it easy to collect donations before, during, or after your event. To help you plan a meaningful and impactful experience, we’ve put together a complete Watch Party Host Packet that includes everything you need to get started.

🎁 Plus! We have a limited supply of DNA Doe Project swag just for our Watch Party hosts—featuring tissues, stickers, coasters, and informational DDP pamphlets to share with your guests.

Reach out to development@dnadoeproject.org to get started!

Your Central American heritage could help identify this teenager!

Our expert volunteer investigative genetic genealogists need more matches to finally identify this girl, found in Tempe, AZ in 2002. Her very distant relative matches indicate her family traces back to rural southern Mexico, Peru, and other areas of Central America.

If you have family heritage in those regions, please consider:
• Like and Share this post for groups and individuals in that
region who may recognize her
• Reach out to case-tips@dnadoeproject.org to share your
family tree
• Take a DNA test and upload your profile to GEDmatch,
FamilyTreeDNA, and DNAJustice
