Awareness, not investigation
CaseTrace helps people discover and responsibly share missing-person cases. It does not support vigilantism, confrontation, accusations, or independent investigations.
About CaseTrace
Missing-person awareness built for responsible action.
CaseTrace makes public missing-person cases easier to discover, verify, and share while keeping official sources and safer public engagement close at hand.

Our mission
Help important cases stay visible without losing sight of accuracy.
Missing-person information is spread across official databases, agency notices, flyers, and public posts. That can make cases hard for everyday people to find and even harder to share responsibly. CaseTrace brings those awareness tools into one clear, mobile-first experience.
The goal is not to replace law enforcement, NamUs, NCIC, NCMEC, or any official investigative process. CaseTrace is an independent awareness platform that helps the public find the listed source, avoid speculation, and send credible information through the proper channels.
How we approach the work
Clear principles for every case.
Sources stay close
Public flyers point back to the listed source so people can verify details and send information through the proper channel.
Accuracy and dignity matter
Cases should be represented carefully, corrected when needed, and shared without rumors or speculation.
Founder story
Built by Brad Lucas to put technology to meaningful use.
Missing-person stories have always stayed with me. I kept wondering how so many cases could fade from public attention while families continued searching for answers. With a background in IT and technology, I felt there was something practical I could build to help.
CaseTrace is that effort: a public-awareness platform designed to make cases easier to find, share, and connect back to their listed sources. The aim is visibility and responsible action—not speculation, confrontation, or independent investigation.
CaseTrace is operated by CaseTrace LLC, founded by Brad Lucas to support the platform’s long-term development. If one careful share helps keep a case visible or puts credible information in front of the right people, the work is worth doing.
Our role is clear
An independent awareness platform—not a government agency.
Always verify details through the listed source or agency. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911. If you have information about a missing person, contact law enforcement or the listed agency directly and do not post tips publicly.
