Mja Joins In On The Search Of 11 Missing Person Cases In Illinois..

Mja has worked in Illinois for many years on different cases..Our research for those cases

pointed us to several Missing Persons cases in two Illinois towns..

Only a handful of those cases are related & most of the Guilty Ones have been caught..

But NO BODIES have been recovered & the Convicted Ones arent talking..

In some of the cases many of the people involved are dead & gone..

Once again the key factor is the geo-location of those cases..

Meaning you could work on several Missing Persons cases at the same time

because they are Missing from the same Towns..

Mja would like to annouce we are joining in on the search for these Missing Victims

from those two Illinois towns..

Peoria Illinois : 7 Missing Person cases from 5-20-1993 to 8-30-2005..

Palatine Illinois : 3 Missing Person cases from 10-25-1977 to 5-5-1990..

Chicago Illinois : 1 Missing Person case from 2-14-1984
