🔎 Our National Cold Case Month initiative: A tip is coming in. Nobody is there to read it.

More than 1,800 open cases on Solve the Case have no detective or tips inbox on file. When someone finally decides to talk, their message has nowhere to go. 📭

You can fix that for one case with one phone call. 📞

1️⃣ Pick a case near you: solvethecase.org/map?filter=no-detective
2️⃣ Call the agency's non-emergency line (it's on the agency page).
3️⃣ Ask two things: who is the lead detective, and which email should receive tips.
4️⃣ Send it to us from the case page.

🔒 The contact is never posted publicly. It only routes tips and updates on Solve the Case.

💙 Somebody is still waiting on an answer about someone they loved. Pick one case. Make one call.

“You have to wait 72 hours.”

Imagine hearing that when someone you love is missing.

A recent popular Texas ranch drama repeated this myth in an episode this season when a wife went to the sheriff to report her husband missing. A fictional scene can leave viewers with a real (and dangerous) misunderstanding.

You do not have to wait 48 or 72 hours to report someone missing.

If someone is missing and you’re concerned for their safety, contact law enforcement promptly. Share their last known location, a recent photo, and any medical needs or concerning circumstances. If there is immediate danger, call 911.

If you’re told to wait, calmly say: “I’m concerned for their safety and want to make a missing person report now. Please take the report.” If necessary, ask to speak with a supervisor. Request a report or reference number.

At Solve the Case, we want every family to know they can speak up and request a report without delay.

Share this post. Someone you love may need this information one day.

📍 Albuquerque, we'll see you next month.

Solve the Case's Detective Benzick is speaking at Advocacy Con 2026 — September 11–13 at the Albuquerque Convention Center.

His presentation, "From Frustration to Partnership: Bridging the Gap in Missing Person Cases," tackles something a lot of families know all too well: the distance that builds between them and the investigators working their loved one's case. What causes it, and what actually helps close it.

AdvocacyCon is built for families of the missing and murdered, alongside the advocates and experts fighting beside them. Can't make it to New Mexico? Virtual attendance is available.

If you're going, drop a comment — we'd love to meet you there. 💙
