This artical is about how the internet helps to get the word out in missing persons cases. Through Facebook, MySpace and other Web sites. It refers to the last few women that have gone missing in Wisconsin.
There is a very little snip about Kelly Nolan. The only news I have seen on her in a couple of weeks! It's not much ! But here it is.
For law enforcement officials investigating the case of a missing person or homicide, the sites open a world of documented communication never seen before.
"They provide us with a lot of information, particularly about the contacts missing people have had - some of whom family members may not have known anything about," said Joel DeSpain, public information officer with the Madison Police Department, which is investigating Nolan's death.
"In all investigations there are a lot of leads that don't pan out, and that would be the case of Facebook - pursuing things that might look good at the beginning," DeSpain said. "As is the same with any lead, it's beneficial. It may add material to an investigation that we wouldn't have had in the past. It may take us to places where the investigation ought to go."
Investigators continue to check Nolan's Facebook page for leads.
"It remains something not just in the past, but something that we will still take a look at just to see if somebody pops up," DeSpain said.
