Anyone researching their family will have a 'lost' family member or two! You may well find them listed here, on either side of the law. Maybe they were a policeman who transferred to another department or division, or someone who was a victim of crime. You can often find physical details on persons listed here if they were missing, wanted or released, which helps to paint a picture of them (giving name, aliases used, age, height, colour hair, colour eyes, distinguishing features, even colour clothing worn).
