Looking for Americans Lost in Foreign Countries

Families of Americans who disappear in foreign countries should not have to invent the wheel. Unfortunately, this is what too often happens: people in deep distress have to learn how to run an international search and rescue operation, raise funds, cultivate relationships with nongovernmental organizations, and work with the media -- all within hours of learning their loved one is missing. The absence of clear standard operating procedures within and among U.S. embassies and a lack of State Department support leads to an unconscionable waste of time when time is of the essence.

The Missing Americans Project is intended to:

* Build awareness of the problems of Americans missing in foreign countries;
* Increase the accountability and transparency of U.S. State Department processes where missing Americans are concerned.
* Lobby for legal and policy changes where necessary.
* Develop a global rapid-response network that is not subject to the same bureaucratic wrangling as the U.S. State Department is.
* Advocate for the interests of the families of missing Americans.

Bodies of 4 Missing Youngsters Found in Honduras

The children mentioned inthis article do NOT appear to be the ones referenced in the blog post below. The article does make clear how dangerous Honduras is:

The grave, found outside La Ceiba ,"is the third clandestine grave found in the first months of this year. The first was found in San Pedro Sula on February 13 and the second was found in Tela, on February 17." According to the article," at least 46,450 people were killed in violent actions in 2000-2011, including 7,104 in 2011 and 12,838 in the 23 months of the current government."

missing children

Interpol is looking for Dominika Gajdar (3) and Martin Gajdar (6) who were kidnapped in January of 2011 by their father Andrej Gajdar (32). It is thought they fled from Slovakia to the USA. They have been seen also in Honduras, London and Netherland. If you see them, do NOT alert them but call your local law enforcement agency immediately.
