Hi Monkeys! Haven't posted in a while just been reading lately, but I have to ask the experts because I need some help. I've been searching for my uncle whom no one has seen/heard of for 16 years and he has a very common name. I'm trying to find a FREE people search that's legit and maybe has the ability to provide an email addy??? I have an idea of where he may be and I know his month/year of birth. ANY and ALL help is greatly appreciated as I'm becoming very frustrated with all of these "subscribe before you get any info" people search sites. I know there's got to be a way to track him.

  TIA--Jan 

Hi Jan_in_Tx  Right off the top of my head I think what 2NJSons suggested is where I would start. I know most sites are pay sites any more. Have you used Bing.com and just typed in his name and she what comes up. The problem being having a common name you have to wade though so many pages. But it is do able. Or if you have a state or county you think he might have gone to start with there local paper archives and see if you cam find any thing that way.  Hope that helps.

District attorney reopens case of first missing child on milk carton
By Gabriel Falcon, CNN

New York (CNN) -- His was the first face of a missing child to appear on the back of a milk carton. Now, nearly 31 years to the day since Etan Patz vanished from a New York street, authorities are reopening his case.

The communications director for Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. confirmed that the office is taking another look at the decades-old mystery.

"It's a case that the district attorney has been aware of since before running for office last year," said Erin Duggan. "Last summer he said he would take a fresh look at the case if he became district attorney. Tuesday he confirmed that the case had been reopened."

Duggan added, "This was the disappearance of a child that gripped the residents of Manhattan and continues to leave many questions unanswered."

Etan was 6 when he disappeared on the morning of May 25, 1979. "It was the first day that he was to walk two blocks from his apartment to the school bus stop," said Lisa R. Cohen, author of "After Etan: The Missing Child Case That Held America Captive."

"He had been wanting to do it by himself, and they gave him permission, literally two short blocks," Cohen said. "And his mother could see the bus stop at the end of the street and she saw parents there, waiting with kids for the bus, and so she let him go."

Etan was never seen alive again.

Jose Antonio Ramos, a convicted child molester, has been identified as a suspect in the disappearance, but has never been charged in connection with the case.

According to Cohen, Ramos initially told investigators that he was "90 percent sure" that a boy he had taken home on that day in 1979 was Etan.

Ramos has since denied making that statement, she said.

Cohen said Etan's father, Stan Patz, contacted her after the news was announced that the prosecutor was reopening the case. "He said, 'Maybe we'll finally get our day court,'" she said.

From families and detectives to people in the missing children movement, this case changed everything, Cohen said.

"Before Etan, parents did not have an image in their mind that something could happen to their children," she said. "And after Etan, they did."

Etan's image is forever in my mind.  My sons were babies when he disappeared.
