Volunteers Needed

[Pauli]

As most of you know we are dedicated in trying to help find missing persons. We want to become the number one place to go to for information on the missing. It is our hope that we can make a difference and bring awareness to the public of the disastrous epidemic of missing persons we have in this country. The majority get very little media coverage when they disappear, maybe on little blip on TV and a couple of articles in the newspapers. We would like to help change that, but we need help in doing it.

We want to take things from the time someone goes missing right on through to the end. With them being located, if someone is charged and if there is a trial.

If anyone would like to become involved in this please let us know.. Become a part of building something great while helping the ones that desperately need helping.

If interested you can post here or pm us..

Thanks,
Admin

In what ways can we help as volunteers, Harlett?

[Roenick]

Have you thought about starting a myspace or something to get the awareness out there?

I know... just one more 'board' for you to work but it would get HFTM to a mass market.

(Kami & I can do it for you)

(Kami & I can do it for you)

The thought had crossed my mind, I just haven't had time to create a profile. I would be very grateful if you or Kami could do that. Thank you for your help!

[Roenick]

I can do it. I believe you have to have an email... is there a basic email for either of you that I can use?

I can then get with Kami and we'll work on decorating it all up and we'll all have the password (and then you and harlett can change it later if you want, or kami adn I can do it)

[Roenick]

Ok... www.myspace.com/hftm


Everything else was taken. I talked to Kami already and when I get home from work I'll call her and we can work on it.

We need pictures and links. I put the codes in the "Who I want to Meet Section" since the About is full with info.
And all the other boxes have <Z> in them so links won't work in there. We'll figure it out and change it up a bit to work



I copied from here some the information and put it over there.


Right now it's a work in progress... but, if you don't like let me know!

[animallady]

Harlett,

I'm volunteering my time, if there is something I can do to help. Health issues are keeping me home currently, and I have time to spend on the computer. I am low-tech but working on it. Maybe I could follow specified cases or something of that nature. Just let me know if you think I can be helpful to you.

I have one already started, I just don't seem to find the time to finish it up..

Thank you both..

We have several others that are wanting to help out also.. I'm going to set up a forum for the volunteers to have access to and then we can figure out what we need to do and what some can/want to do. I'll let you know as soon as I get it all set up.

lol.. I should have read further before my other post... I don't think it will hurt at all to have more than one myspace page. I am wondering if one should be put under group instead of personal?

I have seen some other missing person sites on myspace, I'm not sure how they have them listed tho...

[awakening2lite]

Have you considered asking businesses to put links on their site?

You could add reciprocal links to the business sites somewhere on this site.

[Pauli]

I have thought about that, it's one of the many things I have not had time to do... not enough hours in a day for me lately.

[awakening2lite]

I can only image what your day must be like!

[Pauli]

LOL.. between this and my real job :francis: I don't get a whole lot of sleep that's for sure.

Well... I could have waited :duh:

Let me know if you want me to change it or delete it or whatever...

[Pauli]

NO, keep going with it.. It won't hurt to have 2, it may even help. I don't know that much how myspace works.. have you seen any of the other sites about missing persons over there? I can't get the links from here at work, the site is blocked.

[Roenick]

there is myspace.com/helpfindthemissing.

It looks nice. I would like to do a similar thing but not have it so cluttered looking with all the banners. I like banners but it's hard to see them all. So maybe separate them by ages a little
The blogs would be the listings of missing people - each blog would be by age group. I have one done but myspace is acting up and won't post it.


Also, some families have their own. We can get them as friends and draw more attention to their missing loved one.



What is the one you started? we can add each other

[Pauli]

I just sent you a pm

also.. have you seen the new page to the main website.. a rememberance wall, I don't have it completely fiished yet http://helpfindthemissing.org/missing.html

[Roenick]

No I hadn't gotten that far. I really like that.

Kami was busy tonight so we'll talk tomorrow and add pictures. She had a couple ideas she wanted to do I think.

[rockford2]

I'm here if you need help. I have time on the week-ends and on week nights.

[Pauli]

That's great Rockford.. I need to put together some kind of little task list that we can work from.. I'll try to get to that later tonight or in the morning...

[Grins]

Your Fellini is a handsome color wheezer and looks like he is planning his next film!

[Grande]

I just want to thank everyone for their support as we try and establish ourselves here on the web. Our intentions are to help facilitate the search and rescue efforts in the event a person becomes missing. We hope to generate additional awareness on behalf of the families of victim's of unresolved crimes, particularly missing person's. With this in mind, if there is anything you can do to help facilitate this i.e., marketing, legal issues, research, etc. we would be grateful.

If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to post your comments here or send a PM to either HarlettOhara or myself.

In the meantime, please take a look at our missing person's threads and help us generate some much needed awareness for the community of family and friends associated with each. I encourage everyone to look at some of the due diligence we have provided in both current missing person's cases and the 'missing person's located' cases.

Everyone have a wonderful week and thanks again for your participation.

Hi Harlett and Grande

I would love to do what ever you need me for, if I know how:) I am not working due to medical problems and am available 24 / 7 Just let me know what you need. I started a myspace before I found your site. it only has a couple of people on it. It's not finished by a long shot! However feel free to e-mail me for the address. Again thank you for this wonderful site and having me be a part of something special.

[StoneFox]

Let me know what type of help you need. I do marketing consulting. I have owned 3 businesses and still own a small business that I work from home. I have good writing and marketing skills.

Katy

[Pauli]

Thank you Katy, I sent you a pm..

[rockford2]

Thank you Katy, I sent you a pm..

Please include me as well, Harlett, if there is anything I can do to help.

[Firehead]

I think I offered my services before to you but I am not sure. Just let me know if I can help in anyway.

[kellabeck]

Harlett, I would love to help.

I used to be an advertising copywriter. I offer my writing and proofreading and editing skills. But I can brainstorm ad and marketing ideas or even PR.

[Roamer]

Great, Kell! Thank you, and I'm sure you'll hear from Harlett and/or Grande soon.

[Grande]

Thank you all very much for your offers

We are still kind of deciding on the most effective method in utilizing all of your efforts. The cause, as you probably know by now is missing person's. Our goal is to generate awareness for the families and friends who seek answer's regarding their loved one's.

Right now, we have been working on our general web presence with the blog, the home page, the rememberance page and through social networking sites i.e., Facebook, MySpace, Friendster, et al..

I will create a thread with links to all of them so they are accessible to all of our volunteers.

Another idea in the conceptual stages being tossed around is a HelpFindTheMissing.org You Tube channel designed to help further our cause. It's an extremely cost effective way to to showcase some of these cases. Many County Sheriff's Dept's are now looking at that as an effective tool in combatting crime, a great example of that is being featured on CNN Headline News today.

In the meantime we can always use help in doing the following;

* Posting the proprietary HelpFindTheMissing.org missing persons thread on relevant media comment sections. Basically, when there is a new article pertaining to a missing person there is often a comment section. In most cases, we have NEW missing person's cases up within hours with relevant information. If everyone would do this just one time each day we could significantly increase awarenss on behalf of the families and perhaps even play a role in bringing someone home. I would not do this if I didn't think our efforts (An Instant, FREE website presence on multiple HFTM operated pages and social networking sites, research & due diligence via the public record, and our support in general) would make a difference.

Again, I appreciate everyone's support in furthering this cause!!!!

If you are interested in helping in any of the aforementioned ways or have any suggestions we would love to hear them, just be gentle LOL.

I will be in and out today as my son has been sick w/ the flu.

Everyone, have a great weekend!!

:1222423:

[Grande]

For those of you that have offered your assistance, you will be granted access to our private development forum. Once this has been done, you will see a new forum with a thread called 'If you can see this Post'. Once in, please feel free to offer your suggestions and make the necessary inquiries.

Thanks again!!!

Harlett, I would love to help.

Hey Kellabeck!!!

It's Katy. We have similar career related backgrounds. I still do marketing consulting as a part time freelancer, which includes designing ad campaigns, etc. I am looking forward to working with you.

I am very happy to see you here as a volunteer. :happy0207:

It is so cool to see people joining together to make Harlett's and Grande's site the go-to site for finding the missing.

Katy

[packy]

I'd be willing to help. I do check out a lot of news articles and follow the comments as the news unfolds.

[Roamer]

I'm so glad you volunteered, packy. I know how special you are, and soon others will, too. :)

[Sherbie]

Please count me in as well. Like Kella, I can offer writing/editing/proofreading services. Perhaps she and I (and Katy as well) could work together on a project -- would love that. I am an ace researcher and am happy to volunteer that service as well. As a former paralegal and with several family members involved in LE (past and present), I have fairly deep connections and could possibly tap into some local LE resources, depending upon what's needed.

One idea I have right off the bat (if you're not already doing something similar): What about designing a business card for HFTM.org that we volunteers could distribute to local police departments and media. I was thinking if LE had such a resource available, they could give the cards to missing persons' family members immediately so that they could turn to us for additional support and assistance. Also, LE might be more likely to turn to us to get the word out and for additional help if they have the resource (cards) at their fingertips.

Is this something you've already done? If not, it wouldn't be a financial or time hardship on any of us to print out a pre-designed card and drop a few to local LE to have on hand.

Just a thought. Thanks for all you've done and are doing, and please know that I'm happy to help in any way I can. In the immortal words of Bill Withers, "Use Me" -- okay, I've dated myself now, but I love that song!

ETA: Oops, sorry. I didn't refresh prior to submitting and missed the post asking us to put the ideas in the special forum.

[Roamer]

That's ok, Sherbie. Copy and paste your post over there if you want to, but I'm pretty sure it will be seen here as well.

And the cards (or even some kind of an information letter about this forum) that we could mail to local law enforcement agencies would be great.

[sciencegirl]

I love this forum and if I can help in some way; I would sure like to. I don't know if I have the expertise you're looking for; but I spent 30 at my state's forensic science laboratory system. I was the administrator for my state's sexual assault evidence collection kit program. I'm a good writer, I type over 100 wpm, with 99% accuracy (though you would never know from my posts). I'm an excellent editor and also designed brochures and pamphlets during my career and of course, spend a lot of time on the computer. I do have a disability that I have to take into effect; depending on what you might have me do. Just let me know where I can pitch in.

SG

[windovervocalcords]

I am willing to help. I am not particularly computer savvy but I can google with the best of them.

I have experience working with mentally ill and substancing abusing people who have gotten in trouble with law enforcement.

I have considerable experience in counseling. I have worked alot with seniors and disabled.

I'm not a techie--but I am good at research and my writing skills are ok.

My mother was a missing person in my life for 35 years. Salvation Army missing persons bureau helped me find her.

Have you contacted them?

[Roamer]

Thank you for volunteering, Wind. Sorry I posted the wrong link. Harlett and/or Grande will get back to all who are so kindly offering their help.

[Grande]

Morning all!

Thank you so much for the support!!!

Unfortunately, my family has been experiencing the flu like symptoms that have been sweeping the nation. I will be out most of the day today, but look forward to working with each and everyone of you in the near future! IF all goes well, I will be back online later this evening/night and then again first thing in the AM.

In the meantime everyone have a wonderful Sunday... DAYTONA 500!!!

:zm10: - To the HFTM community!

[NJ_Nurse]

If you can find a spot for me, I'd be glad to help when I can. I have excellent online research skills, with multifacted experience in several areas of nursing, education, consumer & victim advocacy, corporate experience, and working with state legislators to change state law. I'm not a super-techie, but am married to one, who could help on a limited basis.

As the survivor of a murdered sibling, and also being the victim of a serious online stalker myself, my heart is open to putting it all on the line to spare even one person from what I have gone through in recent years.

Sincerely, NJN

[animallady]

I am, again, offering my assistance. Unfortunately, I remain as "low-tech" as I was when I first posted my desire to help. I also remain just as willing to educate myself in order to be useful to "the cause". I followed the volunteer threads daily for a couple of weeks and off and on thereafter. Apparently, you need volunteers with more talent than I possess, but my offer and desire to help still stands.

In support of my offer are the following: (1) Due to an early forced medical retirement (temporary I hope) I have the time to give; (2) Prior to my retirement I was a victims' advocate and have years of experience working with LE, the legislature, the media, and various other organizations in an effort to bring victims' issues into the public domain; and (3) I am literate most of the time.

If this post has nuisance value only, I apologise. It is only because Roamer posted a request for more volunteers in Current Events that I decided to try again.

[Roamer]

As Grande stated in an earlier post, they're still trying to work out whom they can use where, AL, so please don't give up. Also, his family is going through some illness this weekend, so he may not be here as much as usual.

Harlett stays really busy with websites for the missing.

BUT

Every one of your offers to help are important and appreciated, and I know you'll all hear from one of the Administrators soon.

Thank you all!

[animallady]

Just acknowledging that I've received a response from Harlett.

[ferretplay]

I will help if I can. Am limited to somewhat computer abilities, am willing to work & learn. Am on & off computer as share with DH who loves online poker. I would love to help though as a very worth while cause.
I was also wondering if we could have links to the site that we can automatically have in our email. Can not remember what they are called, except I have one of Popular Front Snowdays & The Animal Rescue site. Everytime I email, these links are sent with the email. Usually they have a small logo picture to click on. Do you know what I mean ? I think this would be good.:0012:

[awakening2lite]

Let me know if I can be of any service. Do you have a list of things that need to be done?

[Roamer]

You guys are great! Thanks so much for volunteering! Harlett or Grande will be in touch with you soon.

[rockford2]

I was in Wal-Mart looking at all the missing people--both children and adults, and I was thinking.....could we somehow hook up with Wal-Mart?

I keep thinking about what I could do to help and as I stood there looking at the missing people, I noticed nobody stopped to look as I stood there. :z0tdntknw:

What can we do??

[5boxersmom]

Just let me know what to do to help and I will.

I am finding this to be a big problem also. People just don't want to hear it! I have had a few people that I asked to go to the site "how can you read that stuff? Well I tell them somebody has to and thank god we do have people that will. If it had to do with any one of them they would hope and pray for a site like HelpFindTheMissing.org! It's frustrating!! I just keep trying to get them to listen!:0009:

I think Grande made the list up and posted before he knew you had volunteered... we need you, don't go anywhere :)

[annalyzer]

I would love to help but with caring for my mother in the late stages of AD full time I wouldn't be able to do much. I do spread the word whenever possible about this site. I can brainstorm and I was thinking that car magnets with the HFTM website on them would be a good way for us members to attract more attention to this site. Let me know what you think. :love0085:

[Hope]

I am ready, willing, and able to get this ball rolling. Just let me know how I can help and we can go from there.

[StickyBeak]

Bill boards, bumper stickers, etc. I sure would buy a t shirt, bumper sticker, etc.
Ive dealt with "runaway" daughter who came to her senses, but will never forget the fear of the phone call that could tell me she is dead under the boardwalk. Had no clue she was experiencing emotional turmoil, someone had to have taken her. It was hell. Did not know who to turn to.
This site is a wonderful thing especially if someone goes missing where I live, you bet, my ears and eyes are open along with anyone who would listen to me to Help Find The Missing.

[kindee]

I would like to volunteer as well. I'm back in grad school (criminal justice) and taking a Homicide course. I don't know where it's going but I'd love to do anything I can to help.

I also have a grad degree in psychology (child development and sport psychology) and would love more than anything to put it all together to HELP THE VICTIMS, their families, the missing and their loved ones.


Whenever and whatever!

I put in a request to add you to my friends on myspace. From Carla :basic45:

[ferretplay]

I have been PMing Packy as to volunteer to help cover Tom Smith, Nicholas Francisco & Eric W. Hall in the new missing person's forum. Would you all moderators like to be Pm'ed when somebody volunteers for a certain person ?
I would like to keep adding more persons to my list as I get going. If you would like me to address a certain forum or person let me know. I am partial to any missing subjects.
I also go to different links for my subjects & post there about our message board. I provide a link & invite anybody to read,join & post for free.
I belong to myspace & facebook. I also post about the message board in them. I would like to find the facebook spaces we have & add as friends. If there is more than any one of these on these sites, could you provide links in a certain area ? As stated I have found only one. Thank you very much.:basic45:

[Grande]

Ferret,

We appreciate any research you are willing to provide. I was just getting ready to mention Facebook and outline the marketing potential it has, even more so than MySpace. If you or anyone else would be willing to help us do that we would certainly be grateful. If you find a group and we have not created a thread for them, please feel free to do so.

I would just pm Packy & Batty to let them know, they are going to be handling most of the volunteer efforts. That will be giving Grande and myself time to devote to other things that also need to be done.

here is my myspace... myspace.com/harlettohara it has actually turned in to another site for here.

Thak you for all your help, it is greatly appreciated. That goes for everyone else also. :1222423:

Felicia Christine Thomas
Daniel Querzoli & Amy Scott
Kimberly Michelle Henderson

If any of these cases interest you, maybe contact wheezer and consider working together. You or Wheezer can let me know if you want them added to your lists for cases you would be following.

I have added to your list of those you will follow, ferretplay, and thank you so much. Wheezer has asked for help for the following:

Felicia Christine Thomas
Daniel Querzoli & Amy Scott
Kimberly Michelle Henderson

If any of these cases interest you, maybe contact wheezer and consider working together. You or Wheezer can let me know if you want them added to your lists for cases you would be following.


Just on Great, Amy Scott was found

[Grande]

Felicia Thomas was found safe as well.

I am finding this to be a big problem also. People just don't want to hear it! I have had a few people that I asked to go to the site "how can you read that stuff? Well I tell them somebody has to and thank god we do have people that will. If it had to do with any one of them they would hope and pray for a site like HelpFindTheMissing.org! It's frustrating!! I just keep trying to get them to listen!:0009:


I was trying to do research on a very old case that occured back in "72" to a 7 year old boy named, Johnny Lindquist, and the aid who is there to help people find case laws was looking bored, so I mentioned this case. She stopped me in mid-sentence and said, "Enough. I just can't listen to even one more missing child case or child murder."

And I wanted to say, "And I do??" But instead I said, "If we all were to turn a deaf ear or looked away, then what does this do to HELP missing people who might.......MIGHT, right now! have a chance to be found if just one person was to speak up! Somebody who might find something 'off."

We can't expect the police and other officials to do this on their own! We all need to get involved.

Rockford unfortunately that is how a lot of people are about all kinds of different things. For instance my mother who is in the late stages of Alzheimer's. I am caring for her alone at home. I have five brothers and the majority of them say they just want to remember her the way she was. Well wouldn't we all! So we're supposed to just forget about people when they need us the most?

Just this morning a co-worker was late because she drove by a woman who was lying at the end of her driveway. So many cars drove by and NOT ONE, stopped to see if she was ok. My colleague did stop and this older woman had fallen and could not get back up so an ambulance was called.

All those cars driving by and not one of them....:(

I'm willing to help, not sure what I can do yet but if you have something for me bring it on. :)

Hi, Dojewo. Thank you for the offer. I look forward to be working with you. The administrator will add you as soon as possible.

[cavimom]

Ok... www.myspace.com/hftm


Everything else was taken. I talked to Kami already and when I get home from work I'll call her and we can work on it.

We need pictures and links. I put the codes in the "Who I want to Meet Section" since the About is full with info.
And all the other boxes have <Z> in them so links won't work in there. We'll figure it out and change it up a bit to work



I copied from here some the information and put it over there.


Right now it's a work in progress... but, if you don't like let me know!

Hi Roenick,

I sent a friends reequest. under cavimom as well.. I will link your MS page thorugh mine and have my frinds do the same! I have an anber alert ticker on myspace already!:hifive:

[Orchid Corsage]

Hi count me in too! I would love to help! Not sure what I could do, but I do have a lot of time.

I saw a program this week where people can volunteer to match up head re-constructions using skulls of unidentified dead people with pictures of missing people. It was a first for me, but surely not with folks here. Anyone have a link? It was a volunteer program. Better for all to find their loved ones alive, but not always possible.

There have been a few people from my area whom have gone missing and it seems after awhile, they are forgotten. What a shame and I have always wondered what could be done to spark LE's interest or anyones interest.

:0012: I'll wait to hear from you. :)

Would anyone be interested in signing up for volunteer search efforts in the event they are needed in your area?

[PatC]

Would anyone be interested in signing up for volunteer search efforts in the event they are needed in your area?

Because of my arthritis I'm physically unable to actually search, but if there's any kind of adminstrative effort I could do to coordinate local searchers, e.g., phone calls, scheduling, setting up groups, etc. I'll do that.

PatC

[Grande]

Thank you PatC!

[Shotzie]

I just sent you a pm

also.. have you seen the new page to the main website.. a rememberance wall, I don't have it completely fiished yet http://helpfindthemissing.org/missing.html

Harlett, I just went to this page It is so sad. I had a niece that went missing for over 2 yrs before they found her body. Is there some way you could ad the state next to their name so we could keep a closer look in that area. You have so many..Hope they are found Alive and well..:1222423:

[Pauli]

actually that link is going to be gone soon... here is the new one, you can sort it by state, children, adults.. etc

http://helpfindthemissing.org/missing_database There is also a link button to it at the top of the board.

[NJ_Nurse]

Here is what I wrote on Feb 17th:

If you can find a spot for me, I'd be glad to help when I can. I have excellent online research skills, with multifacted experience in several areas of nursing, education, consumer & victim advocacy, corporate experience, and working with state legislators to change state law. I'm not a super-techie, but am married to one, who could possibly help on a limited basis.

As the survivor of a murdered sibling, and also being the victim of a serious online stalker myself, my heart is open to putting it all on the line to spare even one person from what I have gone through in recent years.

Sincerely, NJN

[packy]

If any of you have a Myspace page, would you consider checking the missing persons/cold cases forums and if it's suitable for your purposes maybe feature some of our missing on your page? Would love ya forever if you did.

[Grande]

Welcome Breezy and thank you for the generous offer! Just having you here with us advocating on behalf of the missing persons is helpful. In the event there is a search effort in your area we will contact you to to make arrangements. As a member of HFTM, one of the things you can do to help generate awareness for this cause, is to actively participate in the discussions and also by contacting the media in general in order to help facilitate awareness. I look forward to working with you!

Breezy, we have a missing girl in your area. Pascagoula. Seems she is a run away.

Brianna Lawler, WLOX has article. http://www.wlox.com/Global/story.asp?S=8208370

We have it posted here:
http://helpfindthemissing.org/forum/showthread.php?t=4376

[Breezy]

I haven't seen or heard anything on this in a while now. I will check into this today.

[Breezy]

I left a message for the investigator on Brianna's case. Hopefully I will hear back from him soon and will post the info under her discussion.

[Faith]

Thanks Breezy. I will be down there in a few days. I will go to the PD in Pascagoula and see what I can find out. It would be great to locate a family member while there. I have my son asking around to whom her family is.

[Breezy]

I didn't hear back from the investigator yesterday. I will try again today.

[Faith]

I didn't hear back from the investigator yesterday. I will try again today.

I know how that can be!! With her being involved with juvenile courts you may not get a call back.

[SRT]

I would love to volunteer if I knew what you needed!

[packy]

I would love to volunteer if I knew what you needed!

Hi, SRT.

In essence everyone who participates in researching and updating cases, and referencing this forum is helping in many ways. Those who join the volunteer team basically commit to helping keep the public aware of missing person's cases and unsolved cases, in order to not let them go cold in any way possible. You may choose to adopt one or more cases that you will follow, offer suggestions -- all input is welcome, help with special requests, offer to do correspondence, make calls or leave comments at media sources, share resources etc.

No one is under any pressure as help is appreciated whenever it's possible for anyone involved. Every bit helps. If you are interested let us know and you will have access to the forum.

[SRT]

Yes. I love to research things and find things out! Count me in.

[packy]

Yes. I love to research things and find things out! Count me in.

Thank you, SRT. You have been given access to the forum.

I just wanted to let you know that I am very impressed with the work that has gone on in setting up this site. I remember posting with a lot of you when Naomi Arnette was missing. What a great group of people.
I live just outside of Salt Lake City Utah and will be willing to do what I can from here.
This has become a passion for me since my daughter was murdered over 5 years ago. This is such a worthy cause. I hope we can really get the word out and help find the missing and bring some kind of closure for their families.

[DestinySearchOps]

Hope this is the best place to introduce myself.

My name is Damon Talbot, I am the Director of Operations for the Destiny Search Project. I actually found this site since my name appeared in a few news articles that were posted here. The Destiny Search Project was formed after the case of Destiny Norton here in Salt Lake City. Our goal is to provide support for ongoing volunteer search operations. We have participated in multiple searches in Utah and have become quite effective in organizing efforts.

Right now we are working on a few major projects to help us here locally, but also some that we want to pass along nationwide. One of these is a software project that will be used to maintain a constant record of the search operation. this will include registration, team tracking, planning, statistics, and other features. We hope this software will help to make our efforts more efficient, and at the same time more effective with more information. More on this in the future.

This board looks like a great place for our group. I hope to get to know many of you. (if ANY of you are in Utah please PM me as I am seeking volunteers at all times) below is the myspace page I started a bit ago. We only just started that page and still need much more work. Also looking to get a website soon. Look forward to working with all of you.

Me, too! And I don't know how to do anything..:shrug1:

I can Google, and check other sites for update, things like that. Anymore complex than that and I probably would be more trouble than help. I don't even know how to set up my own profile page or my myspace page. I think I just have never taken the time to figure it all out. That's what I tell myself, anyway. I will try to do anything you ask of me.:love0081:

You add much compassion to our forums, nanabillie. I'm computer stupid too, but there are many here who make up for us.

Hope this is the best place to introduce myself.

My name is Damon Talbot, I am the Director of Operations for the Destiny Search Project. I actually found this site since my name appeared in a few news articles that were posted here. The Destiny Search Project was formed after the case of Destiny Norton here in Salt Lake City. Our goal is to provide support for ongoing volunteer search operations. We have participated in multiple searches in Utah and have become quite effective in organizing efforts.

Right now we are working on a few major projects to help us here locally, but also some that we want to pass along nationwide. One of these is a software project that will be used to maintain a constant record of the search operation. this will include registration, team tracking, planning, statistics, and other features. We hope this software will help to make our efforts more efficient, and at the same time more effective with more information. More on this in the future.

This board looks like a great place for our group. I hope to get to know many of you. (if ANY of you are in Utah please PM me as I am seeking volunteers at all times) below is the myspace page I started a bit ago. We only just started that page and still need much more work. Also looking to get a website soon. Look forward to working with all of you.

Welcome, welcome, welcome.

Let me join others welcoming you to HFTM. As you've already found out this is a wonderful board doing some difficult but terrific work and always needing more eyes and ears. Sometimes these true crime scenarios can get bone chilling and depressing and start to infringe on your personal life, but before that happens let me urge you to join us over on the Koffee Klatch (http://helpfindthemissing.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=15) for some coffee, tea, cocoa, soda and snacks. Someone usually fixes us a cyber-breakie and drinks are always available. We just ask that if you take the last cup of coffee please make a fresh pot. :girl_haha:

This is a great message board and has so much material it'll make your head spin so when you get "brain overload" come on over here for friendship and foolishness to lighten the mood. We all take the plight of the missing ... particularly the agony of the families ... seriously, but we can also take a break once in a while and you're more than welcome.

You'll find some "neighbors" over there too... others who live in the "Deep South" ... like Bayou Lass... Louisiana, me... S. Mississippi, Roamer... Alabama...


Hope to see you soon. :howdy:

Pauli,

As soon as I get on the right depression medication, I will be glad to volunteer, at the present moment it's hard for me to even read the cases. I only check the one's I had been following before it hit so bad. I'll let you know when I'm ready! I really do want to help, I'd want someone to help if it were someone I knew or loved! Thanks for all you do!
