Introduction
Every day you encounter faces of missing people. They are on posters in federal buildings, gas stations, highway rest stops, grocery stores and sometimes in newspapers. Images of missing individuals are sometimes displayed on the rear doors of transport trucks, milk cartons and billboards, but the efforts to find these individuals are most often sporadic, uncoordinated and very hit and miss. Agencies such as the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children work diligently to publicize missing children cases and to protect vulnerable youngsters from harm, but the effort to locate missing adults doesn't have the same support. |
