The abduction of a child is one of the most hideous crimes that can ever be perpetrated. Most children are found and returned to the parents. In the most severe of cases the child is never recovered and many have become homicide victims where their body has not been located.
These cases, although high profile, can go cold. Ultimately they are placed on a shelf. These cases are never forgotten by the investigators but time passes and cases with leads and suspects become of a higher priority. Over the years investigators retire, witnesses die, evidence gets old.
As we have seen over the recent years, technology has improved and allowed investigators to work cold case homicides that have DNA evidence. Cold case child abductions investigations have not had that luxury. The child is missing and has been for many years. Someone needs to pick up the case and re-assess the leads.
The Keller Consulting Group has the experience to review the case. A review includes re-interviewing the parents, family members, any witnesses, suspects and evidence.
