Why won't my missing person alert show up on the website after I enter it?
Once any alert is entered, it is sent to contact at the law enforcement agency you selected. They will receive and approve your posting in order for it to display.
In order for any posting to be verified you MUST provide the law enforcement agency contact information and the missing person report number if available.
The missing persons web site WILL NOT accept postings where warrants have been issued on the person whom is being submitted.
This site is for the dissemination of information on those individuals that are missing from their family and loved ones and not to be used for the tracking of individuals in hiding. In those cases postings should be made to www.CrimeStoppersWanted.com
What can I do to start the investigation process? Because it can take some time before the police can investigate, here are some things the family can start gathering: 1. The last day and time the person was seen. 2. Who was the last person that saw them and at what time. 3. List of people and the time up to 72 hrs before the person became missing and what they were talking about. 4. List of people who may be considered enemies. 5. Any arguments or things that may have bothered the missing person. 6. Cell phone numbers and bills. 7. Home phone numbers and all bills. 8. Any statements such as gas cards, credit cards, etc. 9. List of friends with phone numbers. 10. Any habits such as drinking, games, drugs, etc. 11. Most recent picture. 12. Keep a time line.
