Silver Lining of Hope, Inc. is actively working to support families of the missing, push for accountability, and make sure no one is left searching alone. Here’s what we're currently working on:

'Indiana Missing Persons Project'

We are compiling data on missing persons in Indiana. We believe that by the time we're done, that at least 1 person will be able to be marked as "FOUND."

When we are done with Indiana, we will move to the surrounding states of Ohio, Illinois, Michigan and Kentucky, with a goal of this being completed for each state.

​

What that means in practice:

• Reconciliation of records: Cross-referencing the Indiana statewide missing-persons spreadsheet with NamUs, The Doe Network, The Charley Project, newspaper articles and more to find gaps and duplicates.

• Standardized case data: Cleaning names, dates, last-seen locations, agencies, and links so cases are searchable and comparable.

• Mapped by ISP Districts: Grouping and color-coding cases by Indiana State Police districts to reveal geographic patterns and potential clusters.

• Public-records: Filing APRA requests with departments across the state to confirm details, fill in missing data, and request NamUs entry when it’s absent.​

​

Coming soon: A public, searchable directory of all 1000+ missing persons in Indiana. If this project helps bring even one person home, it’s worth every hour.
