Francheska and Misheila Martinez of Paterson
Authorities suspect the two are together, although Francheska apparently took off first in the summer of 2000. Her parents found a white plastic supermarket bag with her clothes in their driveway a few days later.
“Age-progressed” photos show what they both might look like now.
Comcast this week released 20 video profiles chronicling missing child cases from across the nation. Each video provides relevant details about the child’s case, including the name of the missing child, city of the disappearance, possible whereabouts, likely abductors and photos.
At the bottom of each “missing kids” profile is the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children’s toll-free 24-hour national missing children’s hotline (800-THE-LOST). Viewers can also go to the center’s website: missingkids.com.
Comcast officials are looking to replicate the success of “Police Blotter On Demand,” which has helped collar 90 fugitives the past five years. They hope the increased invisibility “will help law enforcement and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children bring more of the estimated 800,000 children reported missing each year home.
“The best way to help find a missing child is to get the message out as broadly as possible,” said Ernie Allen, President and CEO of National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. “Our partnership with Comcast enables us to reach millions of homes across the country we may not otherwise reach and empowers viewers with the resources they need to help solve cases.”
