May 27, 2023

The United States Marshals Service (USMS), with the help of state and local agencies, located 225 missing children during a 10-week operation in states across the nation, the agency said.

The multi-state operation, dubbed operation “We Will Find You,” was a national effort to locate the missing children.

According to a press release from the USMS, many of the children were runaways or abducted by noncustodial persons.

During the operation, officials recovered 169 children and safely located 56.

“The U.S. Marshals Service is fully committed to the important mission of protecting the American people, especially our most vulnerable population – our children,” Ronald Davis, Director of the Marshals Service said. “The results of this operation underscore that commitment, but also highlight the necessity of these critical efforts.

Data released shows that 86% of the children were endangered runaways, 9% were family abductions, and 5% were considered otherwise missing.
