Is this a real search?+

No — this is a demonstration site. Jordan Avery is a fictional person. Real family sites look exactly like this, with verified information reviewed alongside a nonprofit partner and law enforcement.

I think I saw the missing person. What do I do?+

On a real site: call the official law-enforcement tip line shown in the banner at the top of every page. Sightings never go to social media or site coordinators first. If it is an emergency, call 911.

How do I help if I can't join a search day?+

Claim a from-home task on the How to Help page — phone calls, map reviews, and flyer printing all move the search forward without boots on the ground.
