Background on Endangered Missing Advisories

In Oklahoma, an Endangered Missing Advisory is issued when a child aged 17 years or younger is believed to be missing and endangered, but does not meet the criteria for an AMBER Alert. This advisory aims to solicit public assistance in locating the missing child and ensuring their safe return. The criteria for issuing such an advisory include reasonable belief by law enforcement that the child is in imminent danger of serious bodily injury or death, and that there is enough descriptive information about the victim and the circumstances to assist in the recovery of the child.

Endangered Missing Advisories are part of a broader effort to locate missing children and adults. For instance, in July 2025, Kentucky State Police issued an Immediate Alert Notification for a missing 5-year-old boy who was later found deceased. Similarly, in January 2026, the Louisiana State Police issued a Level II Endangered/Missing Child Advisory for two juveniles in Lafayette, Louisiana, who were later located safe. These cases highlight the importance of public awareness and prompt action in locating missing individuals and ensuring their safety.
