Missing Person

Advertisements

Sad but true!

Millions of people of all age groups, gender and  race across the world go missing every year.

Sometimes, bad things happen to them (child trafficking, sex trafficking, organ trade, crime, vengeance, key witnesses, whistler blowers, journalists…) and on in other cases, a mental illness causes them to wander away.

People vanish without a trace!!

Families that left behind invest their time, money and resources in the frantic search of their  loved ones.

Happy reunions are rare but restore faith in humanity.

Information about missing people is circulated via newspapers, television and even social media.

We salute the effort made by individuals and agencies that help to search for missing persons.
