Missing Persons Group Celebrates 14 Years
CUE Center for Missing Persons to Hold Public Event with Prizes and Free Fingerprinting
Wilmington, N.C. – While it’s the CUE Center’s birthday, the all-volunteer missing person’s organization is giving a gift at a celebration this Saturday to mark the group’s 14th year of service working on missing persons cases nationwide.

CUE Founder Monica Caison |
Monica Caison became a tireless advocate for the missing after being exposed to the families of missing persons at least three times before she was 25 years old. In 1994, she singlehandedly started the non-profit Community United Effort (CUE) Center for Missing Persons from a tiny back yard shed and a mere $76.00 dollars in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Now, the non-profit group, which is entirely funded by donations, has volunteers aiding the centers mission and receives calls for help from across the country. Further, CUE boasts an all-volunteer network made up of more than 8,000 people and search groups — all of whom share the same goals: to find the missing, to advocate for their causes, and to support their families through what is often the most confusing and desperate times of their lives.
With direct experience working on the more than 8,700 cases that have passed through her organization, Mrs. Caison has become a nationally recognized authority on missing persons and dedicated advocate for the people they leave behind. She has been featured in Reader’s Digest, People Magazine, and Larry King Live and has received several national awards-recognition for her work, to include cold cases of the missing.
The public is invited to join CUE’s volunteers for a birthday celebration with free fingerprinting, give-aways and a live drawing for a laptop computer donated by long-time CUE business sponsor Best Rentals of Wilmington.
WHERE: Best Rentals 37 South Kerr Ave., Wilmington
WHEN: Saturday, September 20
TIME: 2 – 5 p.m. (Laptop drawing will be held at 4)
