'Missing in Michigan' aims to resolve missing persons cases

There are more than 4,000 missing persons actively reported as missing in Michigan and almost 300 unsolved unidentified remains cases.  In an effort to resolve these cases, the Michigan State Police (MSP) is hosting the 6th Annual “Missing in Michigan” event in Detroit on Saturday, May 14.

The event will be held from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Detroit Public Safety Headquarters, 1301 3rd Street. It is free and open to the public. 

Members from the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System will be present to update their nationwide, searchable web database for missing persons and unidentified human remains. 

Family members are encouraged to bring photographs, dental records, medical records or other identifying information of their missing loved ones to update law enforcement databases. 

Family members of missing persons who plan to attend should pre-register by contacting D/Sgt. Sarah Krebs at 313.215.0675 or KrebsS@michigan.gov to ensure their loved one is commemorated at the event. 

A private roundtable discussion will be held from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. for anyone with a missing loved one.
