SRPD News Release: Missing Person Monday Campaign Concludes; Four More Resolved Cases Thanks to Community Support
Missing Person Monday Campaign Concludes; Four More Resolved Cases Thanks to Community Support
The Santa Rosa Police Department (SRPD) is proud to announce the successful conclusion of the latest Missing Person Monday Campaign, which resulted in the resolution of four long-term missing adult cases through community engagement, social media shares, and investigative follow-up.
Originally launched in January 2024, the Missing Person Monday Campaign was created to bring renewed attention to long-term missing adult cases and generate new investigative leads. Each Monday during the campaign, SRPD highlighted missing adults on its social media platforms, asking community members to review and share their information in hopes of reaching someone who may recognize them or know their whereabouts.
The community's response continues to make a meaningful impact. During the most recent five-week campaign, detectives received information that led to the confirmation that four featured missing persons are alive and no longer need to be listed in missing persons databases. Since the campaign began in 2024, a total of 18 long-term missing adult cases have been resolved with assistance from community members and the increased visibility provided through social media.
While these four cases have been successfully resolved, several featured individuals remain missing. Photographs and information for the unresolved cases are being shared as part of this wrap-up announcement, and SRPD encourages the public to review and share them within their own social networks. Even seemingly minor information may provide the lead necessary to locate a missing person and provide answers to their loved ones.
Anyone who recognizes a featured individual or knows their current whereabouts is urged to contact their local law enforcement agency. If the individual is believed to be in Santa Rosa, please contact SRPD Dispatch at 707-528-5222.
Anyone with information that may assist investigators is encouraged to contact the SRPD Violent Crimes Investigations Team Tip Line at 707-543-3590.
The Santa Rosa Police Department would like to thank the community, media partners, and social media followers who supported this effort by viewing, sharing, and discussing these cases. Your continued participation helps bring answers, closure, and hope to families searching for missing loved ones. As demonstrated by the resolution of four additional cases during this campaign, every share increases the chance that someone, somewhere, will recognize a face and provide the information needed to bring a case to resolution.
