 Maureen Reinjtes:  Salient Points:

Her husband went missing  in 2005 after many years of marriage; There was no “handbook “ to follow; Maureen came home each night after working two jobs and desperately searched .. for his bones…  He reappeared in 2009; There are many unanswered questions and no clear picture of where he is to this day. There are no legal rights for a spouse in such a position of limbo and desperation.  She obtained help from a private investigator, staff at Project Jason and Monica Caison of the CUE Center.  Since then she has peen a pioneer in forging the way… nominated to the NamUs Academy, assisting police officers in use of NamUS the largest single data base –repository for the missing and unidentified in addition to administrating the “Platform” format  of Peace4the Missing.

Since that time; she has spent her time founding Finder’s Hope, a non-profit providing direct support, education, advocacy and awareness to other families with missing loved ones.
