DESPERATE SEARCH IN OREGON
LEFT BEHIND: Families of missing rely on hope to endure ordeals

John Koopman, Chronicle Staff Writer

Wednesday, December 6, 2006

Richards' son Wallace disappeared Nov. 10, 2005, after he dropped off a friend at her job at Larry Flynt's Hustler Club on Kearny Street around 11 a.m. He was taking the young woman's Mercedes-Benz to get the oil changed and was supposed to pick her up at 7:30 p.m. He never showed.

The car was found five days later in San Lorenzo. It was not damaged and, police say, showed no obvious signs of foul play.

Wallace Richards disappeared more than a year ago. BERKELEY - Some weeks are more difficult than others for Belinda Richards, whose adult son Wallace Richards disappeared more than a year ago.

The winter holidays, her son's June birthday, the anniversary of the day he vanished are tough for the Berkeley day care provider and her husband, also named Wallace Richards.

Seeing the struggles of families of other missing people - last week it was the family of missing San Francisco father James Kim - also takes a toll on Belinda Richards.

Project Jason announces the featured missing persons in the January 2010 issue of the CDLJobs.com Online Magazine, which can be viewed at http://www.cdljobs.com/cdljobsonlinemagazine/JAN10.htm  This month's ad is on page 5. The site receives thousands of visitors per day.

Each month, CDLJobs.com publishes a full color ad in their popular online magazine which will feature 5-6 of Project Jason's missing person cases from across the country. The ad has clickable links which take the reader to additional information about the missing person, and a link to their printable poster.  Readers are encouraged to sign up for the AAN program and help with poster distribution. "You can be a Hero" is the theme of the joint venture.

Awareness Angels Network (AAN). AAN, begun by Project Jason in 2008, provides a way for the public to assist the families of missing persons. Missing persons posters designed specifically for the AAN program are disseminated via email to those enrolled in the program. Participants can then upload the posters to websites, print and place the posters in public areas, and forward them to their contacts. The program helps spread the word and increase the chances of finding the person.
