CUE
Center for Missing Persons
Founded September 22, 1994
http://www.ncmissingpersons.org/
One of 11 children, Monica Caison grew up in Florida where her teen years were marked by a rebellious streak. At the age of 22, she even garnered a felony conviction for unknowingly passing stolen checks that a friend had given her. That life-changing lapse in judgment and the events that followed instilled in Mrs. Caison a desire to turn her life around and become a productive member of the community.
Because Mrs. Caison had been exposed to the families of missing persons at least three times before she was 25, she decided to focus her attention on their plight, and she became a tireless advocate for missing people and their loved ones. In 1994, Mrs. Caison founded the non-profit CUE Center for
Missing Persons, which is focused on finding the missing, advocating for their causes, and supporting their families.
Offering a wide range of free services, CUE has since helped more than 9,000 families in what is often the most confusing and desperate times of their lives. In addition to providing services for the missing and their families, CUE offers college internships and youth mentoring programs.
CUE is entirely donation funded and staffed by volunteers, including Mrs. Caison, who takes no salary from the organization.
What was simply a dream, name and purpose, is now a nationally-recognized center that answers hundreds of calls for help each year.
The CUE Center hopes to make a difference for everyone concerned with missing persons. Our belief is that we have.
