Law enforcement does its best to locate all missing individuals. However, many cases are closed without the person being recovered. Sometimes, as is with runaways and family abductions, once the missing turns 18 they are removed from NCIC and thus closing the case. Sometimes it is because foul play is suspected and there is no more money to search; sometimes the case is simply too old. But sometimes there are no reasons. Below is the picture of Jahi Turner, who's case has been closed. No reason was given. Since families should have their loved ones back, even with a closed case, we have made these pages for all who remain missing without a case. Jahi, the inspiration, has his case listed on every page, at the top. Our criteria for such cases can be viewed at the link above. Please note we are not actively investigating these cases - merely posting them so someone may be able to come home. Besides the doenetwork, the Charley Project and occasionally a missing person's clearinghouse, (as they are slow to remove closed cases) these cases are not on any missing persons' site. Cases, information on cases, and saying if a particular case was resolved or not can be mailed to us here. Or you may contact the listed agency; however since the cases are closed there may be no response.
