NCMEC missing-child poster 601815

Official poster checked October 22, 2026.

Missing Since is the NCMEC label. The prior NamUs review remains held because its clock-time account does not independently attach a calendar day. This draft attributes its displayed date to NCMEC; it does not infer a day from that account or an object recovery. The Iowa entry is an additional comparison and is not an identity merge.
