Missing Person Center’s online profiling system is ready for use by law enforcement and families.

March 24, 2010 - PRLog -- Los Angeles,   The Missing Person Center is a central reporting site for missing person profiles.  Launched earlier this year, The Missing Person Center offers free services to law enforcement and families of missing people.  

“There are many missing person sites on the Internet, but none that are as detailed as ours and give users unlimited access to updates, blogs, bulletin boards, events and announcements like The Missing Person Center does”, said Lawrence Olmstead, the center’s President.

Olmstead, a licensed Private Investigator and court qualified missing person expert saw a need for a central profiling location online since there are too many places you can find missing person profiles.  “Before deciding on how to develop our profiles, I researched hundreds of missing people sites and came to the realization that most of the sites are useless”. “ Some sites only listed a missing person’s name and showed a single picture of them, others showed a picture, name and gave the person’s physical description”, said Olmstead.

After taking a look at the F.B.I.’s missing person site, it’s obvious that it is out of date and is very limited in the information profiled.  “The trend in missing person cases is simple, if they haven’t been found within a week, they most likely won’t be found, and when they are they usually will be dead”, stated the veteran private investigator with over twenty years experience.

Olmstead was the investigator hired by the family of missing fifteen year old Amber Dubois who vanished while on her way to school on February 13th, 2009.  Olmstead initiated his investigation six months after Dubois disappeared and within weeks reported to police the girl was tracked to a nearby Indian reservation.  Police did not follow up effectively and it took another six months before Amber’s lifeless body was found within a mile of where Olmstead and his team tracked her using a specially trained K-9 unit from Maine and Virginia.  

“The only way people are going to be found is by having millions of eyes looking for them every day and one central place for people to view profiles will certainly make it easier for anyone that wants to help, law enforcement and when seeking volunteers for searches”, stated a frustrated investigator.

Families of missing people and members of law enforcement are encouraged to enter profiles at http://www.missingpersoncenter.com.  The profiles are very comprehensive and allow for adding photos, links to information, complete case details, police contacts and can be updated any time.  It’s like the missing person’s own web page, without all the cost and time involved in creating one.

The Missing Person Center is an invaluable resource that will change the way missing person cases are handled now, and in the future.  Olmstead hopes that the center will help bring a greater number of missing people home to their families.
