Amos Buchanan is from the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska. He has at least 8 children that I know of 1 including my mom! Prior to moving to TX he had left his family in California never to be heard or seen again. I am trying to piece together the puzzle to find out what happened to him. I am curious if there is anyway to submit DNA to cross reference a database maybe he is unidentified somewhere?

AG , I found that NamUs does accept family reference DNA samples (they must be collected and submitted through law enforcement or a NamUs regional coordinator, not uploaded directly by family), so you can ask the Tucson PD or the NamUs regional contact to help get samples submitted for comparison. I also saw Amos’s case listed on a couple of public missing-person sites and discussion threads, so referencing the NamUs MP23772 number when you contact investigators will help them find his file faster.

One thing to note, IDK why but Namus has not updated any cases at all since Oct 13 so over a month! IDK if they are caught up in all of this hacking that's been going on or maybe budget reasons etc. I emailed them and no reply in 3 weeks. Very sad.

Amos Buchanan, a 57-year-old Native American man, was last seen on March 9, 1987, in Fort Worth, Texas. He had been working for Blacman Morring Carpet Cleaning for about a month when he disappeared. He is described as 5 feet 6 inches, 150 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

Investigators found few leads and the case produced little evidence to clarify what happened. The investigation remains open and Buchanan’s family continues to hope for answers.

Does anyone have information about his whereabouts or recall seeing him in Fort Worth in March 1987?
