Marilyn Randall is listed in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System as an unclaimed person connected to Washington, District of Columbia, under case number 150370. The listing appears in the NamUs Unclaimed Persons module, which is used to publish identified decedents whose next of kin have not come forward to take custody of their remains. This entry is housed on the official NamUs case portal for unclaimed persons and is part of the broader NamUs program administered by the U.S. Department of Justice.
In the District of Columbia, unclaimed decedent cases are overseen by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. If no family member or friend claims a decedent within fifteen days of intake, OCME arranges for cremation—referred to as a public disposition—and holds an annual memorial service for the unclaimed. This framework explains how unclaimed person listings tie into local postmortem procedures for individuals like Randall.
NamUs unclaimed case records generally contain sections for case information, demographics, circumstances, and disposition, including fields for the date the body was found, the location of recovery, and any disposition notes. While specific data elements vary by case, the NamUs unclaimed person interface shows these standardized sections to guide potential next of kin or contacts who may recognize the decedent’s identity and come forward.
The NamUs platform exists to centralize and resolve missing, unidentified, and unclaimed person cases nationwide by connecting medical examiners, coroners, law enforcement, and the public. It serves as a clearinghouse with tools for searching and cross-referencing records so that unclaimed cases, including the listing for Marilyn Randall in Washington, D.C., can be reviewed by those who may provide information to facilitate a dignified claim or final arrangement.
