Although African Americans make up just 13 percent of the U.S. population, we account for 33 percent of the missing in the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s database. Cases involving African Americans also tend to receive less media coverage than missing Whites, with missing men of color getting even less attention.
Regarding the April 19 The Root DC article “After 13 years, a D.C. mother is still missing”: In the District, African Americans — people such as Allean Logan — go missing each year, but little effort is made to publicize these cases.

Americans are oblivious. They have no desire to learn about the dozens of black faces that vanish nationally every day. Elizabeth Smart and Natalee Holloway become the stuff of a national news media frenzy, while Ms. Logan’s story falls by the wayside.

A Mother's Frustration: Nefertiri Trader Still Missing
The family of Nefertiri Trader will gather around the dinner table on Saturday Feb. 21 to mark the 34th birthday of the missing New Castle, Delaware woman.
The family of Nefertiri Trader will gather around the dinner table on Saturday Feb. 21 to mark the 34th birthday of the missing New Castle, Delaware woman.
"I’ll be fixing dinner for her birthday... She loves collard greens, spare ribs, and baked macaroni and cheese," said Nefertiri’s mother, Denise Trader, describing her daughter’s favorite meal.
Eight months ago Denise, 57, reported her eldest child, who she tenderly refers to as Neffie, missing. During a neighborhood canvass on the evening of June 30, a neighbor told police he saw a man drag the mother of three from her porch around 4 a.m. and force her into her vehicle, a silver 2000 Acura RL.
A few hours before the witness came forward, Denise sent the woman’s cousin to her Freedom Trail home after calls to her phone went unanswered. He found a pack of cigarettes and coffee, untouched, on a porch chair. A loaf of bread lay in the front yard, stepped on – possibly as the victim tried to fend off her abductor. The lost time -- more than 12 hours passed between the alleged abduction and the witness’ report -- infuriates Denise, who said she believes her daughter is still alive.
"She is still with us," she said. Denise prays her daughter will be home in time to blow out her candles with her three kids, ages 8, 12 and 18, by her side. "She is being held captive somewhere. I just feel it."
The possibility is there, but it is unlikely, according to investigators.
"The chances of recovery of someone missing say 30 or 60 days diminishes rapidly and chances of them being found alive are very slim," said Richard Scanlon of the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs). The likelihood of getting any type of resolution to a missing persons case in Delaware is slim. Nearly 79 percent of the state’s missing persons cases remain open, according to statistics from NamUs.
The numbers frustrate Denise, who claims investigators are not doing enough.
"They haven’t found anything. Nothing," she stated flatly. "Her kids want to know why nobody has found their mom yet or why the police doesn’t have anything to tell us."
New Castle County Police say the case remains open and active, but they have no strong leads. There has been no trace of Neffie or her car since that summer day.
They suspect the abductor was someone the missing woman knew, but, with few clues and no possible motive, they can’t rule out a stranger. Denise says a reward would help bring her daughter home, but municipal dollars are rarely available for missing persons cases. It mostly comes from non-profits or private organizations, if at all.
She has begun to reach out to agencies that could help put Neffie’s information on a billboard and she is appealing directly to the kidnapper.
"I’m asking whoever has her, how would they feel if someone took them and kept them away from their family?" she asked.
"I’m just keeping the faith that whoever abducted her, God will soften their heart," she said. "Her kids need her. That would be the best birthday present ever."

Murder of Hailey Owens of Springfield changes AMBER Alerts in Missouri... The murder of a Springfield, Mo., girl is changing Missouri's AMBER Alerts.
Amber Alert changes in Missouri announced...It should not take the loss of a child's life before we as adults take steps to fix things that are wrong or to make laws meant to save the lives of children better. Shouldn't it just be something we strive to do? Isn't it just common sense that Amber Alert should go out right away? Sure you may have a few false alarms in the mix or some misinformation but wouldn't that be better than the loss of a child? After all those things are fixable. You can't fix a deceased child. frown emoticon
Murder of Hailey Owens of Springfield changes AMBER Alerts in Missouri...
The murder of a Springfield, Mo., girl is changing Missouri's AMBER Alerts.
One year ago, police say Craig Wood kidnapped and murdered 10-year-old Hailey Owens , but the state patrol did not send out an AMBER Alert until two hours after her disappearance.
Since then, the patrol has streamlined the AMBER Alert process.
Information is shared everywhere from billboards to Facebook at the same time.
State lawmakers are also debating a bill to speed up when an AMBER Alert is issued.
Wood is accused of grabbing Owens when she was walking home from her best friends home in Springfield last year. Court records indicate her body was found in Wood's basement.

The father of a missing Fairfield teen remains mum about the whereabouts of his autistic son, and therefore will remain behind bars.
Jefferson County Circuit Judge Lorraine Pringle today ordered Jason Sims Sr. to continue to be held while she and investigators try to find the teen boy that many never even knew existed. "We are looking for a fragile 15-year-old child who probably only weighs 60 pounds,'' Pringle told AL.com
Jefferson County Circuit Judge Lorraine Pringle today ordered Jason Sims Sr. to continue to be held while she and investigators try to find the teen boy that many never even knew existed. "We are looking for a fragile 15-year-old child who probably only weighs 60 pounds,'' Pringle told AL.com
Fairfield police last week announced the disappearance of Jason Sims Jr. in what they described is one of the most bizarre situations they've encountered. "I have never seen anything like it,'' Fairfield police Chief Leon Davis said in an earlier interview. "It's one of those made-for-TV kind of things where people make up the strangest thing they can and then write a story about it."
Davis said Fairfield police and the Department of Human Resources are conducting a joint investigation into Jason's disappearance. Authorities in October 2014 first began looking into child neglect claims with Sims' family.
During that initial probe, Davis said, police were aware of two children - ages 10 and 12 - living in the home with the parents - Natasha Wright and Jason Sims Sr. They had no idea the 15-year-old existed, or another child who is 9 years old, until the investigation progressed. "The latter two had never been enrolled in school nor have any medical records been located,'' the police chief said.
Based on conditions of the home and the situation, authorities issued four arrest warrants for both Wright and Sims, charging them with aiding to the dependency of minors. Basically, the chief said, that charge means they weren't doing what they were supposed to do for the children as their parents.
Davis said they tried to serve the arrest warrants in October at the family's home at 112 59th Street. However, he said, the family had gone on the run. On January 23, Wright was found unconscious at the home. Three days later, three of the children were found with relatives in Mulga and placed in DHR's custody. Wright briefly regained consciousness and asked authorities about her teen son. She said the last time she was him, he was at their home. She was not able to say when she last saw him.
On Friday, Feb. 13, lawmen carried out a search warrant at the Fairfield home in search of the teen and any information that could lead them to him. Because of the mother's illness - which Davis said he couldn't discuss because of medical privacy laws - Birmingham Fire and Rescue's Hazmat Unit assisted Fairfield police and fire in the operation. The teen was not at the home.
Sims Sr. was taken into custody last week, Davis said. He has refused to provide any information on the whereabouts of his son. Some relatives, the chief said, didn't know the teen existed either. "It's odd,'' Davis said.
Judge Pringle said this morning's hearing was to try to get Sims to reveal the location of his son. "He says he doesn't know,'' the judge said. "Somewhere, someone knows where this minor child is."
She said she is more than concerned. "We have an autistic child who does not communicate with the public well and who has not been treated properly in terms of physicians, boosters and schools,'' Pringle said. "He's had none of the things that we as parents would want for our children."
The judge is asking the public to help find the teen. She said people need to notify law enforcement if they've noticed someone fitting Jason's description in their neighborhood who wasn't previously there. "If it doesn't seem like it passes the smell test, it probably doesn't,'' she said.
Davis said today that Wright is now conscious but also cannot reveal the location of the child. Police today released photos that they believe are Jason when he was younger. "While we fear the worst, we remain optimistic that the child will be located and is safe,'' the police chief said. "the safety and welfare of this child is our utmost concern."
Anyone with any information or who may have seen them with children is asked to contact Chief Davis, Det. Michael Erby or Officer Monic Tice at the Fairfield Police Department, 205- 786-4111.
