Do you accept tips on missing cases or possible matches between missing and unidentified persons?
I used to accept and forward tips on my old Missing page but it became quite overwhelming. I do not make any money by running this page and it just becomes too time consuming.
Maintaining my Missing along with my other two MySpace pages, Cold Case Cards and MySpace's Most Wanted and keeping the databases current takes up the majority of my online time. I do not have the ability to pass along tips or possible matches to law enforcement.
Every single case I have posted on my page, in my photos or in my bulletins, has links and/or phone numbers which provide all the info you need to report a tip to the proper authorities.
My loved one is missing. What should I do?
If the person is a minor (under age 18), contact your local law enforcement agency immediately. Contrary to popular belief, there is no waiting period if reporting a missing child. The National Center For Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) also provides extensive information regarding missing children's cases.
If the person is an adult, contact your local law enforcement agency as soon as possible and inquire about their protocol in such cases. Some agencies may only allow the missing person's family member(s) to file a report. Other agencies require a certain time period to have passed (usually 24 to 48 hours) before they accept a report, unless the missing individual is disabled or there is clear evidence that he/she is in danger. The Center For Missing Adults (NCMA) is an excellent source of information for adult cases.
Will you accept public case submissions?
It is difficult to verify if publicly-submitted cases are valid and filed with a law enforcement agency.
From time to time I do accept cases submitted to me as long as I can verify them. Please send the info in a comment and include full name, state missing from and links to agencies handling the case. Acceptable forms of links would include cases posted on any of the sites below:
http://www.missingkids.com/missingkids/servlet/PublicHomeServlet?LanguageCountry=en_US
http://www.theyaremissed.org/ncma/
http://someoneismissing.com/
I will also accept cases which are linked to law enforcement sites, news articles and other missing organizations.
If no link is sent, then the case will not be posted.
Due to the huge amount of comments I get it may take some time before I can get your case posted on here, please be patient and I will get to it as soon as possible.
Has this page ever helped find anyone?
There have been several verified recoveries of Missing Persons as a direct result of my old MySpace page. You can read about some of them in the news articles below:
http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/techinnovations/2006-08-06-net-missing_x.htm

There have also been many more unverified recoveries as a direct result of this important page.

I was wanting to ask you a question. Whats the chances of Yuri Arlov being in the states. There is a boy in Oklahoma who looks just like him, and he is twenty now. What other information is there about this boy? I doubt it is him, of course, but they look alot alike.
