We were inspired to create Missing-Web-Tracker after realizing that data for missing people and pets is often incomplete and difficult to access. We wanted to create a tool that would provide comprehensive and geographical clues to aid in the search for missing individuals and pets.

Missing-Web-Tracker is a web application that offers a one-stop website for tracking missing people and pets. It provides users with comprehensive and geographical clues, allowing investigators to get a clearer understanding of the situation. It scrapes the web for the latest information. Users and officials can create accounts and post new information to keep the search up-to-date as well.
