LostNmissing came in to my life when I most needed the support of someone. Not only did they take their time to listen to me but they also went above and beyond their call of duty to help and assist in spreading the word of my missing son Angel "Ito" Garcia missing status amoung other services. LostNmissing provided all the needed materials to mark the one year anniversary of my son's disappearance, they have and still continue to provide me as well as the rest of the family and friends with personal attention.
I am pleased to say that LostNmissing have jumped through many hoops to help obtain a donation of a billboard to help spread the word of my son's disappearing and thanks to their hard work and commitment they succeded. They not only volunteer to help with the Vigil, and the billboard but they also offered their services to help with any upcoming searches should we have any one come up.
LostNmissing continuosly update and spread any new information via the internet through a page that they have created for my son, their own page and facebook.
LostNmissing with their genuine, dedicated and persistance way they have helped me, my family and friends not only to understand the meaning of the word "volunteer" but also the value of volunteering. There are many things that we cherish in this live, for many of us is our families, our homes, our jobs, life itself and for others it's just about what they have or don't have but for me the act of GIVING is one of the most beautiful guesture of man kind. Thank you Cynthia for your hard work and thank you to the wonderfull team of Angels who also helped very much to make everything possible.
God bless you all!
Love, Laura

My Cousin Ashley Carroll has been missing since 5/6/10 from the Albany, NY area , with no leads on her whereabouts. When Ashley first went Missing I was blessed to meet Cynthia Caron through devine intervention, if you were to ask me. Cynthia has been sooooo helpful in updating and circulating flyers for my missing cousin and our family. As if that wasn't enough for a complete stanger to do in our time of need, It got better. When another Missing person was found deceased :'( and they had a billboard getting ready to be set up in hope's to find her, I found out sadly she was found deceased and Cynthia reached out to me after speaking with the friends, family and supporters of this other young lady's Missing case and offered that My cousin could be displayed on this billboard seeing how everything had already been paid , that truly was the most generous and kind gesture that anyone had done for our family. I'm truly sadden that the young lady the billboard was intended for was found deceased and my heart breaks for them because noone in this situation ever wants that outcome, however I feel blessed that My cousin was thought of and the other people involved decided to keep the monies and help another family in need, and we happened to be on the receving end of her kindness. I honestly Can't ever tell you how blessed to have people like Cynthia out here in the world because it make's me believe that Angel's do walk among us here on earth. I don't think there are enough word's to explain my greatfulness for all who do acts of kindness not because they have too but because they choose too. So to close this comment to everyone who has suffered behind having a Missing loved one know your not alone and there are amazing, loving and compassionate people out in the world that do care about our Missing loved one's and do whatever they can to help us find them, so that we should be greatful! Don't kill the messanger, there just trying to help! There using info provided to them and not always is the information 100% correct but there not putting information out to point fingers but rather to HELP FIND OUR MISSING!!! Tysm to all of you but a very extra special Thanks to Cynthia Caron who has been a true blessing XoXo

Lost n missing i could never say enough good things about this organization. My mother Cloudia Leslie Wells has been missing since 1998. The last 3 years lost n missing has made a updatef flier for me each year. This year is my moms 60th birthday. I have called and checked a few diffrent places to get a age enhancement picture done. The prices are so high. That i was unable to afford the service. Last night i got a message from Cynthia Carson from lost n missing. Not only did she update my moms flier for this year. She surprised and amazed me with a age enhancement picture of my mom. This has brought tears to my eyes. And i do think god had his hand in this. I will never beable to say thank you enough. I wish their were more organizations like lost n missing out their! God bless you for this!

When my child went missing I was devastated. I was referred to LostNMissing by a friend and I cant explain what a difference it made having them in my life. Luckily, my child was safe. LostNMissing gave so much support to my family and it is greatly appreciated. A special thank you for all the hard work and time spent to help our family.

December 11, 2012, my good friend, Jennifer Ramsaran became missing. My husband was the one who noticed her husbands Facebook page first. Remy posted his plea of help to all his family and friends that she did not return home from a trip to the mall in Syracuse, NY. I was in shock and in horror to find out and read about this. I’m sure that every person who was ever close to her felt the same way. Each day seemed like an eternity, and I could not imagine what Remy and his children were going through. My close friend who is Jenny’s friend as well, recommended to Remy that a Facebook page be set up for her being missing. When this comment was made, NO ONE offered to set up a page for her, this includes close family and friends. So I offered to help Remy set one up. He was emotionally drained and exhausted from this whole ordeal of what he and his children were going through. I started the page on January 1st, 2013, to help Remy and of course Jenny. Within a couple days, there were horrible and mean comments accusing Remy of being the one who harmed, hurt and even killed Jenny. I could not even believe that people would even be posting these horrible comments. Remy, his children, his family, his close friends, were all reading these awful comments. I had to delete and even ban people so they could not post again their hateful messages to the public. I am a good friend to the Ramsaran’s, and I truly believe Remy had nothing to do with Jenny being killed. He will remain innocent in my eyes, unless proven otherwise by the police department. One of the people that I banned was angry over it, and started their own Facebook page for Jenny. The rude, horrible comments and gossip that they made towards Remy and the page I set up were unbelievable. These same people were also posting on the websleuths website, and also under all the news articles that were posted online about Jenny. It was done hourly, day-by-day. I had to sit and watch my computer all day long, trying to stop this craziness that these people who claimed to be caring and doing all they could for Jenny, post mean and hateful comments about Remy and or my page I set up. I was so stressed and getting very depressed during these weeks. I as well have a very large family to take care of and think of. I did not know what to do or how to deal with all the mental stress for all of this. I too was dealing with Jenny being missing and scenarios of what could have happened to her. I was suffering myself. All I thought I was doing was just setting a Facebook page up for Remy and that was it. I didn’t know that this was going to consume every hour and minute of my life. The pain and anguish it caused Remy, his kids, his close family and friends, and myself was AWFUL! I had NO idea what to do… my husband just wanted me to stop the page. But with all the lies and untruths that were being brought up on the other page, there needed to be a page that had the truth and honestly trying to help find her. I really don’t see how this other page and people who comment horrible gossip, could think they have done nothing wrong. When a person makes a rude, judging, blaming comment… that in itself is wrong. I really did not know what to do. One day I saw a comment made by Cynthia Caron. It was obvious there was a conflict going on between the 2 pages. She seemed to notice this, so she posted an article she made about how to put a Facebook page, website, etc up for a missing person. What to do and what not to do. I read it, and was so RELIEVED! I had to contact her to get more information and what I could do about this horrible mess. I have never seen anything so horrible as to what was happening on the other Facebook page and other websites. I talked to her on the phone and relayed everything I was going through that was happening to Remy. It was a HUGE relief to me that she understood and has dealt with similar situations as this. She explained all the services her LostNMissing organization did to help the families who have a family member that is missing. The JOY I felt when I found her and the answers I was given to help was AMAZING. The first thing was I contacted Remy and had the 2 talk together. Remy and I both did not know how to handle the media about this horrible situation. Remy and I were both in tears of GRATITUDE… Cynthia Caron was an ANGEL sent to HELP us. She SAVED us from this AWFUL HELL that we were going through. The sheer RELIEF was amazing… Cynthia, immediately that day set up a website and blog for Jenny. She was so on the ball to help. She even went on websleuths website to make comments and to try to squash all the horrible gossiping that was going on. She had some of her staff added to the Facebook page, and they were constantly on top of all the rude and horrible comments people tried to put on her Facebook page that I set up. This page was meant to help find her, not accuse Remy of doing anything or not doing anything. I am a good friend who set up this page and why would I want hateful mean comments being said on it. What friend would want hateful mean comments being said about their friend? I know I wouldn’t. It seemed after awhile after the hateful mean comments and even quoting comments Remy made on his personal Facebook page, the mean comments started to be directed to Cynthia Caron. It was AWFUL to see this happen to such a WONDERFUL person and organization. This woman and her staff, spend hours upon hours of their time, NOT being paid, but by SELF SERVICE to OTHERS… and try to help families with missing family members. What is so awful is, that close family, friends and these people who are thinking they are helping, did not know the personal information and the private police investigation that were and is currently happening. These things are still NOT disclosed to the public. So these horrible accusations are going on, but they do not know what is being held from the public. Remy seemed to be put on the cross by others. I feel when the truth comes out, they still will believe their awful gossiping rumors and I feel their opinions and judgments will not change. I wish I lived closer so I could of helped personally put up fliers, go door to door talking with neighbors, but I couldn’t. All I could do was help put up a Facebook page and keep sharing her photo and information with friends of mine on Facebook. I was BLESSED by ANGELS from the LostNMissing Organization to come SAVE us from the media, etc. They were and are a Godsend! I wish I was closer to have attended the wonderful Shining Hope event that LostNMissing put together for Jenny. Only Remy, his children, his parents and close friends attended this event. No one from Jenny’s side of the family or others who claimed to want to find Jenny (and setting up the other Facebook page), ever attended this event. These other judgmental people, family members, etc, did not come to support Jenny’s husband and her children. I feel that is very sad. It was a beautiful event from the photos that were posted. It was still criticized by others on the other Facebook page. Cynthia Caron and LostNMissing is now being crucified by these judgmental people. Some of them have also put fake Facebook profiles up so no one even knows who they are. It’s pretty freaky, that these judgmental people are out there, and creating a horrible horrible mess with this all… and keep putting up fake profiles of who they are, and hiding themselves. It’s scary. Some of these Facebook members from the other site are even stalking Remy, his children and close friends of his. This is scary. Remy, his children, family and friends, are already going through a horrible ordeal as it is. Why should they feel their lives are in jeopardy as well? The only SAVIOR from the whole media mess and wars was and is Cynthia Caron and her LostNMissing organization. She seriously is doing this out of her LOVING and KIND HEART to help those families who are in pain and suffering from a missing family member. PLEASE… do not read or believe these hateful comments. Cynthia saved Remy, his children, family and close friends from the media wars that took place. I am sure this is the worst she has ever seen. I hope it’s the only one she will ever see. But she is there to HELP, she has a lot of information, a lot of guidance, love, understanding to you and your family, if your family member is missing. She will guide you through anything and everything you need help with. It’s hard when you feel like there’s nothing you can do, and your numb and feel like you can’t move. LostNMissing will HOLD your HAND… and guide you through this! PLEASE let them help you! I would give my recommendation to ANYONE and EVERYONE who has a family member that is missing. I pray you don’t have to deal with that. But if it does… she is an ANGEL… I believe my Heavenly Father sent her to help us… He sends people here on the earth to help each other to not let us go through the pain and trials alone. Please contact LostNMissing…

Cynthia Caron came into my life on Feb. 6, 2013, just 3 days after my mom went missing. I was shocked to find out that most missing persons are found by the family or friends. Cynthia and the crew at LostNMissing have been so helpful. They have taught me so much and I am forever grateful for their amazing support. Tomorrow, Saturday April 6th we will be hosting my moms Shining Hope Event. Sunday the 7th my mom will be missing for 9weeks. LostNMissing, Thank you so much for all of your dedication, hard work, and compassion. It takes amazing people to volunteer their time to help a stranger try to locate their missing loved one, and never ask for anything in return. Thank you for everything.

I absolutely love Lost N Missing, Cynthia Caran, amd all of the other awesome workers. I have a missing daughter, Christina Whittaker. They have helped us so much in our search. From designing and sending us new fliers, to paying for our hotels and organizing events for s. They are truly a godsend to us families with missing people. And there is so little help out there. Especially if your missing loved one is adult. They don't care if it's and adult or child. They reach out and try to help all families without descrimination. We am very blessed to have them on our side. Thank you for all you do.

I have had the pleasure of speaking to Cynthis Caran on the phone and having a lot of contact with her online. Lost N Missing has done more for us and our missing daughter than any other organization. They have sponsored rallies for us. They've rented rooms for us while we was out searching for our missing daughter. Even when we was stranded in that city I called Cynthia and she instantly rented us a room. This organization has designed many fliers for me. Sent me many fliers free to use for searching. They are an honest and most helpful group of people that I have ever known. They even designed a Christmas picture for me of Christina, along with many other missing people, and when I told Cynthia I wish i could afford to have copies made for Christmas cards she ordered them for me. It didn't cost a lt but it meant the world to me. We struggle financially. And all the help they have given us means a lot to us. Her fb page is committed to the missing also. She shares missing people information daily and is truly there for their families. I feel she is a friend to me for life. Not many people reach out to missing families and especially offer the support that she does. I cannot imagine her doing anything intentional that is hurtful to anyone.Cynthia is a God send to me and many others.
