''Hill joined the Philadelphia police department in 1977, stepping into the Juvenile Aid Division in 1981, where she worked before retiring in 2002. She became a missing persons specialist in 1989.''
''Aside from “Sightings,” Hill also appeared on CNN and several local television and radio talk shows and had been a guest on the popular show “Most Wanted.” She had been profiled in the New York Times and Police Magazine and had been honored by the National Organization for Black Law Enforcement Executives, which she had represented on the board of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children’s Project Alert steering committee. She appeared in the 2004 National Law Enforcement Officers’ Memorial Fund calendar, which labeled her a “living legend.”
