Police and other groups held a second Missing in Washington D.C. Day.

“You ever lose your keys? And you can’t find your keys and it irritates you and you’re looking all over? Just imagine that feeling magnified 20 million times with a loved one or a person,” Long said. “It was just so heartbreaking.” DNA was the key for Long’s family. His aunt, Allean Logan, vanished Sept. 15, 1999. When Logan didn’t answer her phone, relatives went to her place on South Capitol Street SW, heard her infant crying inside and summoned help. When the apartment was opened, they found the child still strapped in his car seat. There was no trace of Logan, 36.
Long, chief executive of D.C.’s Missing Voice, was one of several who after losing a relative and turning to others for help became part of the army of helpers. He said his organization monitors and calls attention to active missing person cases.
