Missing and Wanted: Patch Series Profiles Cases Throughout San Diego County

By Christine Huard

Scores of cases throughout San Diego County go unsolved by local law enforcement investigators each year.  A teen thought to be a runaway has still not come home. A dangerous parolee violates terms of probation and goes missing. A parent in a custody dispute kidnaps the children. A family member who is homeless and mentally ill disappears off the street. A loved one is murdered and there are few clues or no suspect.

No matter what the circumstances, police and relatives continue to search for those who are missing and wanted. They want the son, sister, or husband brought home. They want justice for the victims of crimes. They want the bad guys in jail.

Starting Tuesday and continuing each day throughout October, our Patch sites will feature a different person who is missing and wanted in San Diego County. Look at their pictures. Have you seen them? Do you have information that might help them be located?

Each profile will have a phone number for you to call to provide information. You can remain anonymous. Let’s help investigators close these cases!
