特拉华州首个失踪人员日10月24日在纽卡斯尔路9号图书馆举行 免费向家属开放
10月24日，特拉华州首个失踪与身份不明人员日活动在纽卡斯尔的路9号图书馆举行，时间为上午9时至下午2时，免费向公众开放。这项活动由特拉华州法医科学处主办，纽卡斯尔县警察局、威尔明顿警察局和特拉华州警察局共同参与，面向所有受亲人失踪影响的家庭与朋友。
活动现场，家属可以直接与正在寻找失踪人员、辨认无名遗骸的各机构工作人员见面，了解现有资源，并与维权人士和其他有相似经历的家庭交流。主办方鼓励家属提前登记，但并不要求事先提交过失踪人员报告，没有报过案的家庭同样可以参加。
活动负责人、首席法医调查员卡拉·塔拉克表示，希望通过这样的面对面交流，让家属知道他们并不孤单，也让各机构更直接地听到家属的需求。这是特拉华州首次以全州名义举办此类活动，主办方希望它成为帮助失踪者家庭的重要平台。

Delaware's First Missing Persons Day Held Oct. 24 at Route 9 Library in New Castle, Free for Families
On October 24, Delaware held its first Missing and Unidentified Persons Day at the Route 9 Library in New Castle, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., free and open to the public. The event was hosted by the Delaware Division of Forensic Science, with the New Castle County Police Department, the Wilmington Police Department and the Delaware State Police taking part, and was aimed at every family and friend affected by a loved one's disappearance.
At the event, families could meet face-to-face with staff from the agencies that search for missing persons and work to identify unknown remains, learn about available resources, and talk with advocates and other families with similar experiences. Organizers encouraged advance registration but did not require a prior missing-person report; families who had never filed a report were equally welcome.
Event lead Kara Tarlack, the chief forensic investigator, said she hoped the face-to-face meetings would let families know they are not alone and let agencies hear families' needs directly. It is the first time Delaware has held such an event statewide, and organizers hope it becomes an important platform for helping families of the missing.
