In 2024, North Carolina recorded 8,758 reports of missing children. Until recently, the state lacked a unified system to notify the public about missing children and make their photos readily available.
To address this issue, the Missing Child Repository has been introduced as a public resource. It aims to assist in locating missing juveniles and identifying those who cannot identify themselves. The repository includes all juveniles reported missing in North Carolina, regardless of circumstances. Family members can submit a photo of a missing child by emailing the child's name and case number.
"Our hope is that this public repository will aid in the location of missing juveniles across the state, as well as providing a means to identify juveniles that are unable to identify themselves," said Morrissa Ahl-Moyer, Director of the NC Center for Missing Persons.
