— Ra'Phael Davis, PhD candidate, political science

After decades of conflict, 137,000 people have been reported missing in Colombia. A partnership between the Mershon Search Lab and Colombia's Unidad de Búsqueda de Personas dadas por Desaparecidas (UBPD) aims to identify the missing and bring closure to their families.
