Chad,

That doesn't surprise me at all but thankfully it still shocks me as it should. How can law enforcement not care about properly having checks and balances in place when a missing person's report is filed? In any given field you have those who are more dedicated than others but with law enforcement their checks and balances should be at the highest standards as they are dealing with people's lives. I've long said that many LE detectives treat these reports like they are resumes and dump most into a virtual trash can. There should be families who have experienced having a loved one missing attached to every missing person unit everywhere just to give these detectives a reality check.

Glad you found a detective who is willing to find out what happened and hopefully take corrective measures!!!

Maureen

Hope everyone is ready for this one. Today I contacted a Michigan Police Agency about a missing person case. Surprise was, even after I gave them the case number, information, NAMUS info, ect, they could not find this person as missing , a report, or her reported missing at any time. They had no idea in the world that this woman has been missing since 1998. They did however find an arrest and release record about 2 months prior to her disappearance. NOTE: If she is in NAMUS, she was entered by an authorized user so its not like some guy just spread the word she is missing and people started posting her. She is also listed on National Center for Missing Adults and multiple other websites.

To the Detectives credit, he pulled in a second person to help look for the case, transfered me to another department and then filled out a request for the records office to dig into it. While this Detective can not be blamed for this and at least he is taking the steps to find out what is going on, I can not help but to wonder how many other missing people there are that the "investigating" agency does not even know they are missing. People like us "don't know what we are doing and need to leave it up to LE".......theres a win win situation. Will keep you posted when/if I hear any updates.

I just made another "missing persons" video.

Also, are there any specific songs you want to hear that is available on youtube provided by itunes or amazon? I am using songs from there now because two or three of my "missing persons" were disabled because of copyright content so I had to use their music to get my videos working again on youtube.

Everyone please say a Prayer for the family of Ida Richardson. After 51 years there may be a chance the Sheriff Department will take the missing person report. Will keep you all posted, you all have been very helpful and supportive of the families effort to make this happen. Today's initial conversation was a very positive one.

I went to see my Dad this past week.It was so hard to see him so sick.I wish we could just say that it would be ok.I know it is wrong to hope he would go soon, but the way he is now is just wrong.Please god do the right thing and don't let him go on this way.His lungs are full of floud and his heart is no better.It is so hard for all my famliy.My sister is there with him now and I would say she needs us to say a prayer to be able to sit there and see him pass.Thank you for listening to me Dee

Past the seeker as he prayed came the crippled and the begar and the beaten.And seeing them...he cried,"Great GOD,how is it that a loving creator can see such things and yet do nothing about them ?"...GOD said.."I did do something...I made you ." God bless you my friends..john
