Still Missing Each year eight hundred and fifty thousand children go missing. Luckily about ninety-eight percent of them are found, but Laura Thompson falls into a slim one percent minority which are never heard from again and leave no sign of what happened to them. Thompson's case is not unusual. Officials with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children say they have cases dated back to the 1940's. While the chances of solving them are not great, it is still possible by keeping the public aware that children are still missing. It's up to the family and local law enforcement officials to keep the case in the media spotlight. Laura's family and the New Castle police are doing just that. Laura would be thirty years old right now, and this is a computer generated image of what she may look like. Any clues to her whereabouts could help bring closure to this fifteen year old case.
