We are a group of former law enforcement officers, military service members, and now private investigators. Many of our members were once wives, mothers, husbands, and fathers living everyday lives until they joined our mission to help others. Together, we have become search and recovery investigators, bringing answers to families with missing loved ones.
 
Now retired from our prior careers, we continue to use our skills to investigate and recover missing people, ordinary individuals doing extraordinary things, being “ESSENTIAL” for the missing.
 
We unite our experience to bring awareness to missing person cases and to provide answers to families in need, free of charge. We go where others will not, deep into the woods, through treacherous terrain, and in harsh conditions.
 
Until now, we have self-funded our investigations. Today, as an official 501(c)(3) nonprofit “We Are The Essentials For The Missing” We accept tax-deductible donations to offset investigation costs, purchase much-needed equipment, and continue our work. We also accept donations and rewards for cases in which we are involved which is used to help the next family in need.
