...and everyone of them is working for you. That's what controlled release of information, a good working relationship with the community and the help of certain civilian volunteers can be when you're working a missing person or unidentified found person case. The truth is that chasing a missing person cases can be both expensive and very time-consuming. Not many agencies have the resources to keep following one of these cases. Even cold case squads have their limits. And if a lead that a missing person might have popped up in another jurisdiction surfaces, the successful conclusion of that lead very often depends on how much shoe leather that other jurisdiction is willing to invest in YOUR case. I have a several goals with this blog. I want to put investigating these cases into perspective so that the public will better understand the impediments law enforcement agencies are up against. I also want to find and spotlight tactics, technology, products and people that can help. Additionally, I'll find the answer to your questions whenever it's possible to do so and from this point on, I'll spotlight a missing /unidentified person. Please follow the link in my blog and take a look. In so many cases, it's a matter of the right pair of eyes in the right place at the right time. This link is to a missing man from Mississippi whose granddaughter wants closure. I think we can all understand that. Here's the link to Floyd Price: Floyd Price Missing Person Page Next entry we'll start looking at organizations and resources out there for both law enforcement agencies and the families of those who still need to be found.
