Dear Mr. Klaas-
I read with interest the proposal regarding providing an Amber Alert/Missing Persons TV channel to truckers at their imposed rest stops during their runs. I think that the idea of an appeal targeted towards those who spend thousands of hours on the road is brilliant-especially given the areas of the country that they cover. On any given year, there are 800K missing persons on the books of state, local and federal law enforcement agencies. These cases are historically the most expensive and labor intensive. George Bush and the Department of Justice pioneered the use of technology to solve these cases when the law was signed allowing for free DNA testing of families of the missing as well as the 47K unidentified decedents that are here in the US. It is time for others to do their part to utilize advancements in the area of media communications to highlight the plight of the missing.
All it will take to justify the cost will be one cold case solved, one family's wounds healed or one child rescued from certain death.
Thank you for being such a champion to the cause of the Missing!!
Sincerely,
