ViCAP was the FBI’s Violent Criminal Apprehension Program, designed to analyze and collect information on violent crimes. Records included murders, sexual assaults, missing persons cases, and unidentified remains. NamUs was a searchable national database of unidentified remains and missing persons cases.
