Dear National Crime Agency,

This is not a request under the FOI Act as I understand that it will be rejected because the NCA does not come within the ambit of the Freedom of Information Act.

I believe that the public can make suggestions to the NCA on information which it should release as a matter of public disclosure, and information.

I would be interested to know how many people have been identified (and their details), of persons whose remains have been found, and which were later identified by DNA or investigative police work.

My email address is [email address]

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Mr LeMaire
