I saw this article and was amazed that these children were found based on a tip called in after 7 years. Immediately I went to the NCMEC site to view information about them. Thinking there may be aged enhanced photos or some new technolgy used, imagine my suprise when I couldn’t even find their posters.
“…Larry Upchurch, director of operations for the missing children’s division of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, said the tip on the location of the children came through the group’s 24-hour hotline between Wednesday night and when they were recovered.
Mr. Upchurch said one out of every six recoveries is a result of someone seeing the missing child on a poster. He is not sure if that was the case for the Martre children…”
I am thrilled these children were found but I would ask Mr Upchurch how would you recognize a child, based on a poster of a missing child taken 7 years earlier, not age enhanced, and evidently not posted on NCMEC?
Does NCMEC count these children statistically as recovered missing children in their stats? Do you think any of these children were one of the 100 million shoppers at a Walmart store each week these past seven years?
Ironically if you google any of the children’s names it returns nothing either on the web or as an image?
