History

Historical Context

After the 1984 founding of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children—by the Adam Walsh case—NCMEC logged over 400,000 missing-child reports by 1990 and introduced the ADAM alert system in 2000. In 1998 its sister organization ICMEC launched the Global Missing Children’s Network, now in 31 nations. Today the Lexington County Sheriff’s Office and South Carolina agencies used that model to locate Elena Katherine Moore.
