"The Santa Rosa Police Department's latest social media push to find missing persons whose trails went cold long ago ended with five of the 25 cases featured being resolved, the department announced this week. The department's five-week Missing Person Monday campaign, in which police share the photos and last known whereabouts of people that it considers missing with the hopes that community members can provide information on where those people are now, kicked off Aug. 4."
"The first six-week campaign, launched in January 2024, featured 30 cases going back to 1984 and helped police locate five people, including one who had been missing since 2005, according to police. The second seven-week campaign, launched in August 2024, led to the resolution of three additional cold cases, police said last year. In a separate email Wednesday, Seffens said the latest campaign generated over 300,000 views and more than 60 comments on Facebook."
