Hey folks, I was reading through some old missing person cases and stumbled upon Geoffrey Odonoghue's case from 1970. I'm curious about the role that NCMEC plays in cases involving adults like Geoffrey, who went missing at a young age but is now considered a long-term missing adult. I always thought NCMEC primarily focused on children. Does anyone know how they determine which adult cases get their involvement, or is it more about the circumstances of the case? It must be tough for families waiting for new leads after so many decades. Any insight into how these organizations collaborate on older cases would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hey folks, I came across this case about Geoffrey Odonoghue that I couldn't shake off, especially considering it dates back to January 1, 1970, in such a remote place like Kodiak, Alaska. What caught my attention was how both NamUs and the NCMEC have kept up their efforts well into today. I know advancements in technology are a big hope for resolving cold cases, but does anyone else find it peculiar how some of these long-term cases stay so stagnant despite having organizations like NamUs working on them? I’m curious if there are other long-term missing cases where suddenly a piece of technology or new technique actually helped break the case open. Any thoughts or similar cases with a happy ending would be great to hear.
