AG Bonta highlighted the first California Department of Justice (DOJ)-sponsored Find CA Missing event aimed at elevating the state’s response to missing persons cases. The upcoming event on June 6, 2026, is designed to raise awareness for all state missing person cases while providing families with an in-person opportunity to connect with support organizations and augment or file missing persons reports. To help tackle difficult missing persons cases, Attorney General Bonta urges local partners, community leaders, and law enforcement agencies to elevate and utilize the resources being provided and to recommit themselves to taking action.

“This month, as we recognize both National Missing Children’s Day and MMIP Awareness Day, we’re reminded that awareness and collective action can create safer communities. Today is about uplifting the resources available for families who are grieving a missing loved one and presenting an opportunity for optimism through action. I urge everyone to utilize this opportunity as we continue to seek justice and reunification for families, because even one case — adult, child, or otherwise — is one too many. Behind every missing person, is a family and loved one waiting for answers, and just one updated detail could be the missing piece that brings resolution.” -AG Bonta
