IT’S America’s hidden tragedy: Nearly 4,000 cases of missing children are investigated each day by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. Now The National ENQUIRER is joining forces with the Center to publish original and age-progressed photos of missing kids in hopes of reuniting them with their heartbroken families. “Since 1984, we have circulated billions of photos, and helped in the recovery of more than 199,000 kids,” says John Ryan, the Center’s president and CEO.
“We know pictures work, and we’re grateful to The ENQUIRER for sharing these photos and stories with its readers. Look at the pictures closely. With your help, a child may come home.” If you have any information about these children – or any others who are missing – please call 1-800-THE-LOST or visit www.missingkids.com.
RAYMOND GREEN
Current Age: 35 Missing Since: Nov. 1, 1978 Missing From: Atlanta, Ga. Hair: Black Eyes: Brown Five-day-old Raymond was stolen from his mother Donna’s home by a woman she’d met in the hospital nursery. The woman shocked Donna by visiting her home days later, and walked out the front door with Raymond when Donna stepped into another room.
The woman was African American, called herself “Lisa Morris” and is described as 5-foot-6, average build, and “light-skinned with a mole on her face.”
APRIL ANDREWS
Current Age: 23 Missing Since: Nov. 18, 2006 Missing From: Pea Ridge, Ark. Hair: Blonde Eyes: Blue April was 15 when she was en route to a clothing sale at a church near her apartment complex. A witness watched a brown pickup truck pull up to April, who talked to the older white male driver with gray hair and climbed inside. April was never seen again.
“That leads us to believe she knew the man,” Det. Hunter Petray told The ENQUIRER. “We don’t consider her a runaway and are continuing our search.”
