missing persons investigations  

Definición

  • Historically, state criminal law has prohibited non-familial abduction and kidnapping, and the public has expected swift and aggressive investigation into such cases. The kidnapping and murder of the son of Charles A. Lindbergh in 1932 led to a federal statute, the Federal Kidnapping Act, which allowed U.S. Department of Justice intervention and prescribed severe penalties for transporting the victims of kidnapping across state or national boundaries.
