Are YOU Missing?

Lost and Clueless

Todd Matthews
It's ok you know, we do have freedoms in this nation. If a person wishes to disconnect from their current life for whatever reason...it is legal.

But what about those left behind? Among those you might want or need to get away from are some that might care about your safety.

If you have severed ties with the past, might be wise to look back to see what might have transpired in your absence. It is possible that you have been reported as "missing" to law enforcement or to online databases for the missing. One easy way to find out is to "Google yourself."

Even people who have simply moved on (and failed to maintain contact) for whatever reason might be considered missing.

No doubt some of the homeless population including those living in shelters are among the missing. These are the people that might have had no choice in the matter. Discarded from a family or driven by mental illness and possibly drug addiction.

It's not a matter of privacy for a caregiver to look at the possibility someone might be seeking a displaced human being. Often it will be law enforcement seeking the where abouts after a legitimate report has been made. It is hard to track down a person who leaves little or no paper trail.

Whether you yourself have chosen to start a new life or if you are the caregiver to someone in the homeless population. It would be a good thought to look at the possibility that a missing persons report has been issued. Either through a simple online search engine inquiry, or direct listings in www.DoeNetwork.org and www.NamUs.gov

Todd's calling to be a voice for missing and unidentified persons began when he solved the identity of the "Tent Girl" case, Barbara Hackman-Taylor, after a ten-year journey that ended in 1998.  View profile
