We’re taking a short break from Beat Check while we prepare to bring you a new six-part limited series called The Unidentifieds. You can listen to the first episode of The Unidentifieds right here in the Beat Check feed soon. Or search for The Unidentifieds wherever you listen to podcasts.

Here's a little more on what it's about:

There are 120 unidentified human remains in Oregon – cases exist in all but three counties. Most were discovered in the Pacific Northwest wilderness, parts of their skeleton scattered in between rocks and twigs, and most go unfound and unidentified for decades. The Unidentifieds, a narrative podcast hosted by Regan Mertz and Dave Killen for The Oregonian/OregonLive, tells the story of four of those cold cases and how online genealogy and forensic anthropology helped families get closure.
