Three people who were found dead in Nottinghamshire have never been identified, with some dating back to the 80s. The individuals are yet to be named years after they were found dead in the county.
The deaths, which date back four decades, remain unsolved despite police investigations. As they have never been identified, officers were unable to contact loved ones, so these people now tragically lie in unmarked graves.
The cases are listed on the UK Missing Persons Bureau, which is a national database of unidentified bodies. It records details handed out by police forces of bodies or remains not identified, which we have compiled below.
