For the past 8 years CUE Center for Missing Persons has sponsored a National Conference for the benefit of educating those who work with families of the missing, bringing awareness to the vast numbers of missing persons, and, most importantly, providing a place for families to meet and share together in one of the worst tragedies of life. Bringing it all together each year is an accomplishment by the founder of CUE Center, Monica Caison, and her wonderful Board Members and staff of tireless volunteers.

From CUE Center website: Join us for our upcoming national conference for missing persons and all who work in the arena from advocating, volunteerism, investigation, search and rescue and identification process of those who are lost. This event is open to all who support the mission of finding a resolution for families who have suffered a missing loved one and been left a victim of crime.

The National Conference, titled “In Support of the Journey,” will be held in Wilmington, NC March 22-25.

This year’s Conference, as all those in the past, will feature many speakers, presentations and classes for the attendees. ImaginePublicity is proud to have 3 clients who have been invited to present this year:

Susan Murphy Milano: Document the Abuse

Returning by popular demand from last year’s conference, Susan will be teaching a class on Document the Abuse utilizing the information from the website and the Evidentiary Abuse Affidavit. Many missing persons cases are the result of intimate partner violence.

Diane Fanning: Through the Window; The view from a “Crime Writer”

Several of Fanning’s true crime books are cases which resulted in a missing person, the most well-known, Mommy’s Little Girl, which tells the story of Caylee Anthony from the point she was a missing little girl until her remains were found and her mother charged with murder.

Donna R. Gore, LadyJustice: Shattered Lives: The Aftermath of Crime”

Through her well researched blogs and her new radio show,Shattered Lives, LadyJustice reaches beyond the crime and into the aftermath where many surviving victims find a maze of confusion. Through her own experience as a survivor of homicide, she brings the audience information that’s needed.

Families of the Missing: In Support of The Journey

The phone rings around the clock at the CUE Center for Missing Persons.. Families from all walks of life looking for someone to listen and help them find their missing child, sister, brother, daughter, mother, grandmother, father or friend. On the other the voice answers "Cue Center, Monica speaking."

If the person's case is not registered with the Cue Center for Missing Persons, Monica Caison or a volunteer explains the process to the caller guiding them to either fill out the forms on line or if they do not have access to a computer, they are mailed directly to the person. Once the forms are completed and the case is registered, the work begins.

Since 1994, this dynamo of a woman has helped thousands of families across the country recover their missing loved ones. 

The work of the Cue Center gives families hope. What the public does not see behind the scene's is the care and devotion given to each missing person's case and the family. Before a search, Monica and her team for weeks, pour over maps in the area. They work closely with law enforcement and strategically plan out the area where the person was last known to be seen. Orchestration of horses, specially trained cadaver dog teams along with trained volunteers cover to eliminate miles of ground during each search and rescue. Food and water is donated to feed the workers. Hotel and travel arrangements are made. All prior to arrival. Family members of the missing loved one are not allowed to participate. Instead, they are provided a loving and caring setting by the Cue Center and wait nearby hoping for news that their loved one was found.

Monica Caison and the Staff at the Cue Center is made up of all volunteers. No one draws a paycheck, including its' founder, Monica. During the past several months I have come to know the many of the families registered with agency. The work they accomplish for each individual family of the missing is incredible.

Monica Caison and the Cue Center shows us all that with shear passion and determination for families and their missing loved ones, she is not only their hope, but in my opinion, the brightest star in the universe!
