There are many people who go missing and never found. They can be anywhere in the world but still be nowhere to be found. We may not know them, but they’re our brothers and sisters, they’re our mothers and fathers and we need to find them because they deserve a chance at life.

Where to Search?

The Police Facility

The police facility of missing person’s in South Africa has been developed and is able to identify and find a lost person. The facility can provide the following for you:

-Advice on how to search for the person,

-Advising on how to communicate with people who might have information about the missing person,

-Coordinate with other agencies that may be able to provide assistance

-Provide advice on what to do if they locate an individual or evidence related to a missing case.

The police service of South Africa encourages you not to wait before reporting a case of a missing person. If you take too long, there’s always the risk that it might end up in an un predictable situation.

Google

Google is the answer to everything. So before you take the time to explore the more tedious ways to find a missing person, try a simple Google search with the information you already have. Hopefully you have their name, but any piece of information may be able to uncover details about the person’s whereabouts.

Social Media

Sites like Craigslist offer free ads that serve a variety of purposes. One of these is to locate missing people. Craft an ad with a picture and place it in sites like these in every area where the person may be. Include a link to a website or social media page and urge people to share the information in person and online. Remember to keep track of where the ads were placed so they can be removed when the person is found.

Facebook has become a popular tool for locating missing people. Runaways may set up Facebook pages or stay active on their previous ones, which can put loved ones in contact with them. However, many more times, it is more effective to circulate a picture with as many details as possible. Include identifying marks, the clothing they were last known to wear, and last-known location. Even the smallest bit of information can lead to finding the person. Last, put out a call to action to spread the photograph around the web. Photos can reach hundreds of thousands of people all over the country within a matter of hours.

Lastly, if you are still unable to find the missing person with these free resources, consider hiring a private investigator. While it may be expensive, finding the missing person can be worth the cost. Private investigators will have connections at police departments and hospitals, as well as expertise in uncovering details that you may not have thought about before.

I hope this blogs helps you find them.
