To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Indiana Access to Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
Basic information on all open cases of missing and murdered persons (including juveniles) within the state; this basic information can include but is not limited to: person name, age, DOB, incident date, case closure date, county/jurisdiction in which person was reported missing.
I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as we believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage. All of the information will also be shown on uncovered.com/cases
I expect the request to be filled in an accessible format, including for screen readers, which provide text-to-speech for persons unable to read print. Files that are not accessible to screen readers include, for example, .pdf image files as well as physical documents.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request.

Good morning,
Your request asks for "basic information on all open cases of missing and murdered persons (including juveniles) within the state...." If this request seeks missing people who have been murdered, then that is not something that the ISP Intelligence Unit or the Clearinghouse collects or maintains but would lie with the investigating agency. If the request seeks a current list of missing persons reported in the State of Indiana including "...person name, age, DOB, incident date, case closure date, county/jurisdiction in which person was reported missing" then that information can be found at https://www.in.gov/isp/mcmea/missing-person-bulletin/. Thank you.
Respectfully,
Jeff Pitts
