You can view photos and detailed posters for each child through the NCMEC website. If a poster has been removed, the case may have been resolved or the investigative agency has yet to upload one.

NCMEC is a non-profit organization that partners with law enforcement and families to locate missing children and prevent abductions and exploitation. For any tips or information, you can contact their 24-hour Call Center at 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678).

Keep in mind, not all missing children are listed under AMBER Alerts, which are reserved for the most serious abduction cases. Also, under Missouri law (§ 43.400, RSMo 2023), a missing child includes runaways — but not all missing teens have run away.
