Comment preview: Im not saying that she isn't missing. Its just weird that this is a "Missing" poster that is compiled entirely from information that would be available to a facebook friend. No information about her habits, exactly where she was last seen, and only photos ....

Comment preview: How far do you take that? Right now I'm looking at a nice drawing of a moose and the reddit alien thanking me for not using adblock, why not make that a missing person ad? At the top of the page there's a cute little drawing of the reddit alien pointing to ....

Comment preview: Would you like to learn more? >As of December 31, 2014, the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) contained 84,924 active missing person records. Juveniles under the age of 18 account for 33,677 (39.7 %) of the records and 43,289 (51.0 %) records wh ....

Comment preview: Ooo, are we doing stat threads? I like stats. Here are some child abduction stats: >As of December 31, 2014, the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) contained 84,924 active missing person records. Juveniles under the age of 18 account for 33,677 ( ....

Comment preview: >Hmm 800,000 children are reported missing every year, so 50,000 would be less than ten percent. Hopelessly inadequate use of statistics. How many of those 800,000 are almost immediately found? The US birthrate is about 3/4 million per annum recently. A ....

Comment preview: This probably ain't the subreddit for this, but I figure I'd post it anyways. You sound like you could respect some statistics. >As of December 31, 2014, the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) contained 84,924 active missing person records. Juven ....

Comment preview: I am constantly thinking about her especially when I wake up or go to bed. I am wondering what she is doing. I wonder if she is happier or miserable without me. I wonder if breaking up was really the best choice. What I miss? I miss my best friend and not ....

Comment preview: In missing persons cases it is pretty usual for them to either collect direct DNA of the missing person or familial DNA for the file. It doesn't mean, at all, that your brother is dead. When it comes to missing cases, police want that DNA in case it is nee ....

Comment preview: That's because it's the straight number of children who are reported missing, regardless of the reason or whether they were later found. If a teen "runs away" to stay at a friends house for a night without telling their parents and they report the teen mis ....

Comment preview: You seem to have a lot of things backwards regarding what embassies, local authorities and colleges CAN do in a case like this. First of all, embassies don't deal with cases like these other than to act as a contact point. You should contact the embassy of ....

Comment preview: Apparently not. He literally lives in a shed just big enough for a twin bed. He does have some creature comforts, a small TV that receives over the air broadcasts (no cable) and a small window-based AC; but they're basically provided free of cost by a supp ....

Comment preview: Sorry for the delay. In comparison to some of the stories here, this may actually be a bit mundane, but here it is anyway: I was a team lead / lead diver for an underwater search and recovery organization, and we're working a missing persons case where th ....

Comment preview: However I have to agree with this guy... >I am sympathetic, and I'm not saying this post should be taken down, but isn't there a rule against this kind of thing? For all we know OP could be a stalker or vengeful ex using us to help track him down. All w ....

Comment preview: Good topic. My biggest pet peeve is when people romanticize the story of a missing or unidentified person. Like making up a story with little or no factual support like "Lyle Stevik was a rich kid who was ashamed of being gay and having aids, so he went ba ....

Comment preview: It's real to you. You built up a relationship with her based on the things you shared, the many methods of intimacy we use to bridge the gap between the isolation of one mind from another. You talked, you touched, you shared moments that helped shape the ....

Comment preview: Not very scary, but kind of unsettling. I moved to Montreal and got a new Canadian phone number. Over the next 8 months I'd get texts and calls from french people at strange hours of the day asking for "Nina", several times a month. On an April morning whi ....

Comment preview: The site seems to be having issues handling traffic so I made an imgur album with the pictures in it and stuck the info in the description: http://imgur.com/a/ilDVz Here's the info copied from the site, since the imgur album doesn't really format it very w ....

Comment preview: I can confirm this. At the age of 18 I "ran away" from home to go to college. I had an abusive mother who wouldn't allow me to attend college even though I was valedictorian of my boarding school. Needless to say, I had to get out of the abusive house but ....

Comment preview: Tried to do one about having been homeless, but I don't have any verifiable proof for the mods. I don't even know what one would use to prove they were homeless, honestly (maybe a picture of 15-year-old me with dreadlocks and dirt smudges all over my face ....

Comment preview: I have relatives in a small town east MT. Back in the early 2000's a kid got sick of his family packed up and left with out telling anyone. He was 21 so young but not a kid. He just went to a town about 3 hours away; got a job and apartment and live withou ....

Comment preview: Lived for awhile in France. I missed: * **Personal bubbles.** There is something disconcerting about talking to someone not your SO with only a six-inch space between your faces. * **Friendliness.** I missed being able to talk to random strangers without p ....

Comment preview: Save all the threats she sent you and contact your local police dept. Explain she knows where you are and is threatening to file a fake missing person's report if you do not converse with her. Forward the reports. You are under no obligation to speak to he ....

Comment preview: I'm friends with loads of Muslims from my university days, so her missing-persons report was all over my facebook the past few days. I have to confess, I *knew* something was wrong / fucked up from the way the situation was described. Just like that girl w ....

Comment preview: I don't know about you guys but I live in borneo. It is basically tree all over. I read about the stairs and it is common here. Sometimes you'll see a stairs, just old wooden chair, a really beautiful house, sometime fast moving people, amazingly beautiful ....

Comment preview: The missing person I found was based off of a description rather than a poster. It was actually a haunting experience - I found a 14 year old girl after she had gone missing earlier that day. I used to be an ocean lifeguard on the East coast (based on the ....
