About TrackMissing
Objectives
TrackMissing
is dedicated to assisting Law Enforcement
agencies and families locate missing persons of all ages as well as prevent domestic violence by providing education,
resources and support.. Our web site provides information on missing persons as well as
what to do in case a person becomes missing. This program is formed in
memory of Mary Denise Lands
and on behalf of her family. Mary has been missing since March 12, 2004 and was last seen
in Marshall, Michigan. Her case is listed as a homicide by the investigating agency
although her body has not yet been recovered. As the program grows we will expand our
services as appropriate to our cause to increase our effectiveness and further help those
in need of our services.
There will never be any charge for
any services rendered by our programs and we will operate on donations.
Geographical Area
Initially our focus began on Michigan and Wisconsin, expanding our area to Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, and the
other states as our program grows and volunteers and resources permit. It is our ultimate goal to be able
to provide assistance to all of the United States. Our site will accept and post information on any
missing person from the US. We will accomplish this by working with Law Enforcement and other credible
missing persons associations throughout the Nation.
The Resources We Need
We have both a low start-up budget and a low overhead. We actively pursue donations
and have fund-raisers throughout the year to increase the means needed
to expand our services and geographical area. We need donated services, as well as volunteers.
Individuals who care. With the generous help of our corporate,
business, and personal connections we beleive this is an achievable goal
we can meet.
Our Plans to Obtain the Resources We Need
As briefly described above, we want to reiterate that we actively pursue donations
and donated services to achieve our goals.
