Age-progression photos are used by investigators to help locate missing persons or hunt wanted fugitives.
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children pioneered the use of software technology to age progress photos of long-term missing children. Their success has encouraged investigators from local, state and federal law enforcement agencies to use these images during missing person cold cases.
The United States Marshals Service whose duty is tracking, and arresting America’s most violent criminals uses age-enhanced photos to assist them during their investigations.
Civil attorneys have adopted the use of age-progression photos as a powerful litigation tool during wrongful death lawsuits. Family members of missing & deceased persons use them as tools for hope and comfort in their own search for loved ones, or to help them grieve the untimely death of a friend or family member.
