Interpol launches world’s first ‘Operation Identify Me’

The campaign, alongside global policing agency Interpol, aims to find the names of 22 women, whose bodies were discovered between 1976 and 2019

Police have had more than 200 tipoffs about unidentified women murdered in Europe.

Just a week ago, the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany launched a campaign with global policing agency Interpol to find the names of 22 women, whose bodies were discovered between 1976 and 2019.

It is the first time Interpol has gone public with a list seeking information about unidentified bodies.

Police said the women “deserve to get their names back”.

Information they have received so far includes possible names of victims, and potential leads about clothing and what jewellery the women were wearing.

The so-called black notices released as part of the Operation Identify Me campaign are normally top secret and only seen among Interpol’s network of police forces throughout the world.
