It is widely known that pictures are one of the most effective tools
in recovering missing persons. And, with the growth of the Internet and
advances in computer technology, the search for missing children has been
revolutionized.
Technology aids law-enforcement during the most critical time in the
search for a missing child—the first few hours immediately following a
child’s disappearance. Every hour, every day, every week that a child
is missing, the likelihood of the child’s safe recovery decreases. Distributing
a child’s picture rapidly can be the difference between a fast recovery
and a prolonged search.
Computer imaging, broadcast faxing, E-mail, and the World Wide Web have
replaced sketches, black and white posters, and mail service. With the
help of these technologies and innovative uses of many others, NCMEC has
witnessed a remarkable increase in its recovery rate. From 66 percent
in 1989 to 91 percent today.
