Ohio law enforcement authorities, child advocates, and family members who have or had missing loved ones are teaming up on a newlycreated Missing Persons Working Group. Ohio Governor MikeDeWine tasked the group with reviewing the state’s resources and response to cases of missing children and adults. “The ultimate goal here is to bring more missing people home safely,” DeWine said. Led by the Ohio Department of Public Safety, the group will analyze how disappearances are investigated and suggest improvements, as well as study database usage and law enforcement training, and hear from family members with missing loved ones. Group appointee Jonisa Cook, whose 6-year-old son with autism went missing before being found deceased in a pond, said her mission is to turn a tragedy into something positive. “That’s what’s getting me going every day, knowing that I could potentially help someone else, potentially help another family,” she said.
