The Missing: Cold case investigators working to close unsolved crimes
More than 250,000 murder cases across the country are considered cold, which doesn't even include those of missing persons, which is why people like Alex Baber and his wife J-Lynn have devoted their lives to fill in the gap.
"It does not matter which agency is investigating your case," the release states. "HPD will provide a rendering and will send the image to the agency handling your case."

Attendees are asked to bring the most recent pictures of missing loved ones along with the case number, agency name, and agency's contact information. Those images will be mailed back to the family members once they are rendered.
