NOTICE: This sourcebook was compiled and written specifically for families with missing or murdered loved ones — especially the families Team MibSAR works for, many of whom no longer have first-line SAR teams or investigators working to find their missing loved one, or seek justice for their murdered loved one — and it is not intended as a resource for professional SAR operators or investigators, who have access to vastly better resources. |
