The Missing Person Center opened online today and is ready to shed new light on current and cold missing person cases.
Over 2000 people go missing every day and most are not found. It’s not because they can’t be found, it’s simply because there are not enough people searching for them. Most missing person cases go completely unnoticed and others are not even reported to law enforcement. Not every case gets media attention and it’s hard to say why some cases get more attention than others. There are many reasons I have heard from people on this subject and many people think race is the determining factor in exposure when someone goes missing. However, the truth of the matter is timing and how much effort the family of the missing person puts into pressuring law enforcement and the media to take action.
If you have a missing loved one it will be up to you to have your story told, to get the word out and to get searches done and keep your loved one in the media’s eye. If you don’t stay proactive, time will slowly close the curtain on your case and eventually, no one will be looking. Don’t fall victim to the numbers of missing person cases you have to compete with.
The Missing Person Center was created by Los Angeles based licensed private investigator, Lawrence Olmstead of Hollywood P.I.. The Missing Person Center was an idea he had for a long time and finally felt something had to be done. “I don’t know if it’s the economy, technology or drugs, but I have seen a dramatic increase of missing people over the last ten years than years past”, said Olmstead. Lawrence Olmstead has been an investigator for 25 years and is a Court Qualified Missing Persons Expert in homicide cases where a body has not been found. “The Missing Person Center” is the place where families will find the resources they need and the information to keep their loved one’s story available and pushed into the hands of the media on a regular basis”, expressed the investigator.
