What Should I Do If I have A Missing Person?

1) Search your immediate area where missing person was last seen

2) Call a friend or neighbor for support and aid in recalling information

3) Check with family, friends, co workers and people know your missing person

4) Call the police or go to your nearest station and file a report

5) Call the CUE Center and request help for case effort

What you will need to make a complete police report:

a) 3 current photos
b) Complete names of medicines and what they are taken for, doctors' names, any handicaps, allergies and medical conditions.
c) What the person was last wearing-clothing, shoes, etc.
d) A list of scars, tattoos, or any artificial limbs
e) A list of articles on the person, examples include braces, headgear, jewelry, glasses, contact lenses, hat, belt, purse, wallet, money, ID, credit cards, etc.
f) A complete physical description: color of hair, eyes, skin, weight, height, build, etc.
g) The description of travel: direction headed, the means of travel (if car-make, model, year, color, size)

After the report is filed:

* Be sure to obtain a case number and name of the person in charge of your case from the police.
* File a report with the North Carolina Center for the Missing and keep track of the case number.
* File a report with us and we will provide a C94 which is the case number and caseworker assigned to your case.

You can file a report on this website or call directly 24 hours a day (910) 232-1687.

How can I get my listings on other web sites:

It's always wise to list as many places as possible. Many sites list only children (defined as 18 and under), some list children and adults with special needs (such as developmental disabilities or mental health issues). Unfortunately, there are not many sites that will list adults.

How can I get Individual Case Help:

CUE can often provide direct assistance to families and friends of Missing persons, as well as to law enforcement agencies. We can provide:

1. Posters and fliers (and volunteers to distribute them)
2. Search teams, both professional and volunteers
3. Support services to search teams (food & water, transportation, lodging, communications and more)
4. Housing and travel assistance for families away from home
5. Basic support to families, from prepared food to counseling
6. Reward "seed" money and assistance with fundraising for reward money
7. Hotline services when appropriate
8. Media management assistance
9. Advice and assistance in working with law enforcement agencies, private detectives and more

Please contact us, by phone (910-232-1687) to discuss your particular case.
In general, we provide assistance primarily in North Carolina, but we never turn away a case that may be in other states.
