i worked for the sheriff’s office for five years. i saw so many of these posters it would make your head spin. they were sent to us as part of a program. it is HARD to remember all the faces – i think it is IMPOSSIBLE. however, any local ones i made sure i knew well (local as in from the state).
i can’t imagine what the families of these children go through. i hope to god i never have to experience anything like that.
great topic!

I saw something similar. I doubt I’d be any better, sometime I wonder if we don’t just filter it all out, thinking there is no way this person is ever going to be found again. So the image doesn’t stick or stand out when the person is there in plain sight.

I always make sure to take a good look at the pictures of missing children/people but I have to admit along with Dana that I don’t know if I would recognize them for sure if I saw them.

I’ve got to admit… I do read the missing persons fliers but would prob never be able to identify a missing persons unless it is televised on the news… Stacy Peterson for example. I do however, read the Amber Alerts, and I try to memorize the license plate numbers.
On a side note… Kevin’s little cousin has been missing since March. No leads yet… It’s scary, but that’s a long story in itself…
