NORTHEAST INDIANA — The Indiana State Police is leading an initiative to help resolve long term missing persons cases in Indiana.

Investigative technology has advanced significantly over the past several years allowing police to use science to help resolve some of these cases for the involved families. Initially ISP is starting with northeast Indiana but will soon expand this initiative incrementally in other parts of the state.

ISP asks families in northeast Indiana that have a long-term missing person in their family to please contact ISP using a dedicated hotline (833) 466-2653. This is a recorded line.

Family members calling the hotline are asked to leave your name, phone number, the name of your missing relative and the city/county from which they were reported missing. A detective with the ISP Cold Case Investigative Squad will then reach out as soon as possible to discuss the case.

Family members can also email the requested information to: [email protected]
