FOUNDER - Jannel Rap

Jannel Rap is a singer/songwriter in Southern California. She had no idea how much her life and focus could change over night until her sister, Gina Bos, disappeared October 17, 2000. While looking for Gina and trying to gain media attention for her she FOUND that the doors were closed if there was no scandal, suspect or household name attached to a particular missing person. Jannel felt that not only was her sister valuable and worth the chance of being found, but that 1000's of other missing persons in this country and beyond were valuable to their family as well. She had to do something. She learned from her father not to sit around and ask why, but to ask..WHAT CAN I DO? Jannel strongly believes that we all hold a very valuable place in this world and doing our best to fulfill that spot gives others the chance to fulfill theirs. If everyone is doing and becoming what they were meant to be then, all this world's puzzle pieces fit together. FINDing missing persons is a puzzle that the families are many times left to solve on their own. Jannel's goal is to create a larger and larger puzzle piece that helps to bridge the gap between the families and educating the public about missing persons in their society and taking word to the local, regional, national and international public in hopes of bringing one home. All the while, hoping to help us all to focus on what we have FOUND in our lives!
