All of the pages on our website contain potentially triggering information. However, this page contains multiple descriptions of extreme violence towards Trans people. Please proceed at your discretion. 

Thursday, November 20 at 9 PM EST, the Trans Doe Task Force will be holding our yearly vigil for the unidentified individuals on this year's Trans Day of Remembrance (TDOR) list.  Please join us via the live streamed event on our YouTube channel.

People who were missing or unidentified who were found or identified this year:

Pamela Walton
Aubrey Dameron
Hope Youngblood
Clyde Dicks
Meabh Bryne
Gabrielle Shull
Jax Gratton
Charlotte Fosgate
Roy Mora
Milan Batista
 

31 unidentified individuals on the 2025 TDOR list:

This year, there are 31 entries listed as "name unknown" out of a total of 311 entries (10% unknown) on the full list at tdor.translivesmatter.info. However, due to the the missile attack on a prison in Tehran, this number is inaccurate as an unknown number of Transgender inmates (estimated to be over 100) died in the attack. Therefore, the percentage data for this year only reflects entries in the list rather than accurately representing the individuals who have died.

2024: 50 unknown, 426 names (11.7% unknown)
2023: 37 unknown, 392 names (9.4% unknown)
2022: 44 unknown, 395 total (11.1% unknown)
2021: 55 unknown, 472 total (11.7% unknown)
2020: 52 unknown, 435 total (12% unknown)
2019: 51 unknown, 375 total (13.6% unknown)
2018: 48 unknown, 423 total (11.3% unknown)

If you are an investigator working on any of the cases listed below,  the Trans Doe Task Force may be able to assist with DNA analysis and Forensic Genetic Genealogy at no cost to your agency. You may also request investigator access to our LAMMP database. Please reach out to us via email at transdoetaskforce@gmail.com

Possible Trans or Gender non-conforming Does from this and past years:

Over the past year we've found multiple cases that we had not been aware of previously who have indications that they may have been Trans or gender non-conforming. We remember them here and hope they will be identified and returned to the people who loved them in life.
