Share official or source-connected flyers
Whenever possible, share a flyer or case page connected to an agency, NamUs, public alert, family-approved source, or reviewed public source.
Include contact instructions
Make sure the post includes agency contact information or a clear instruction for where tips should go. Do not ask people to post tips publicly.
Avoid speculation
- Do not add theories
- Do not accuse people
- Do not name suspects unless law enforcement has done so publicly
- Do not turn the case into entertainment
Check before resharing
Before resharing, open the source link and check whether the person has been located or whether the details have changed.
Update or remove older posts
If the person is located or the flyer is outdated, update your post when possible. If the post could cause confusion, remove it.
Use CaseTrace links when helpful
A CaseTrace flyer link can help keep the case page, source information, sharing tools, and safety reminders in one place.
