Product Description
Former police detective Carole Moore interviewed the families of dozens of missing persons across the county and around the world to compile The Last Place You'd Look, which also focuses on the efforts of police, search and rescue, nonprofits and volunteer organizations. According to the National Crime Information Center (NCIC), there are about 100,000 active, open and unresolved missing persons cases that sit on the books in the U.S. each day. The numbers are similar in Canada, where annually more than 60,000 children are reported missing. Additionally, in the U.S. alone there are more than 40,000 John and Jane Does in cemeteries and morgues across the country, still waiting to be identified. The anguish of having a loved one vanish is unthinkable, yet thousands of families face this heartbreak every day. The Last Place You'd Look provides searchers a starting point and gives readers an overview of "the club no one wants to belong to."Friday, July 1, 2011
PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION TO ASK THE FBI TO LOOK INTO THE CASE OF JOSEPH HELT, AGE 17, MISSING FOR 24 YEARS - PEACE4 THE MISSING
PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION TO ASK THE FBI TO LOOK INTO THE CASE OF JOSEPH HELT, AGE 17, MISSING FOR 24 YEARS - PEACE4 THE MISSING
Joseph Helt, went missing 24 years ago in Ellenville NY. He was only 17 years old at the time. The local police and the NYS police have failed at every turn. They neglected to add Joe to NCMEC until 2010...he went missing in 1987 (a full 23 years AFTER he went missing). They neglected to add him to the NYS Police list of Missing Persons until April 2011 (a full 24 years AFTER he went missing). They have NEVER contacted Crime Stoppers in spite of our numerous requests. Over the years they have never asked the medias help to get Joe's story out there. For 9 months now someone (or a group of people) repeatedly tear down Joe's missing persons flyers from the local grocery store and from the street that the high school is located on, often within less than 24 hours of the time we put them up. Ironically, they leave the posters that can be seen by the security cameras alone. One NYS trooper tells us that the three individuals who were the last to see Joe were polygraphed in 1987, yet another tells us that one refused to take the polygraph. This individual was packed up by his father within weeks of Joe's disappearance and shipped down to TN to live with his mother (we're in NY). He still lives there to this day. A NYS Police spokesperson states in an NBC televised news statement that the three who were the last to see Joe that night were never and are not considered suspects...even though people have come forward with info that contradicts the story told by them.
With all of these missteps, we feel that the FBI needs to get involved. Therefore, we are starting an online petition to ask for their help. We would truly appreciate it if you could each sign the petition and pass the link along to help us. Here is a link to the petition: http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/justice-for-joseph-helt.html
