What to Include in Your Email

The more information you can provide, the faster we can help. Please include as many of the following as possible:

Full name of the person you are looking for

Include any known aliases, nicknames or name variations.

Last known location

City, county or state where they were arrested or last known to be held.

Date of birth

Helps narrow down results significantly when a name is common.

Approximate date of arrest or incarceration

Even a rough timeframe is helpful -- month and year is fine.

Federal, state or county facility

If you know whether they are in a federal prison, state DOC or county jail, include that. If you are unsure, just say so.

Any other known details

Case number, inmate ID, arresting agency or charge type -- anything you have can help.
