Coloradan devotes life to finding missing persons
"DENVER -- A missing Lakewood girl was found safe thanks to one woman who didn’t even know her.
Madison McKindle, 15, was reported missing last week by her father, who pleaded for the community’s help in bringing her home.
The woman who helped bring her back to her family doesn’t know any of the missing people she spends hours a day searching for.
She doesn’t get paid to search, and won’t accept donations. But she says it’s her calling, and she calls it Missing Angels.
Alissa Cordova spent her early years angry, with a lot of hatred, about a missing family member.
“I went to a counselor and she said all this negative energy that you have, turn it into something positive,” Cordova said.
So Cordova, who lives very modestly, turned to money she had saved.
“I decided to take that money and invest it into something that I felt somebody else needed more than I did,” she said.
Cordova turned it into a business that’s not about making money.
“I make no money at all,” she said. “And I don’t take donations.”
Cordova took her training from previous work as a missing persons recovery specialist and now offers help to families, free of charge.

Families with missing persons can reach out to Cordova for help through the Missing Angels Facebook page."
