The reality of kids that go missing
Let’s look at the scope of the problem
pertaining to missing kids.
Michigan has roughly 4,200 missing people
reported to Law Enforcement on any given
day. We are ranked 4th in the nation
currently for our amount of missing persons
cases, only behind California, Texas and
New York (by less than 100 cases).
Over 2,200 of these are missing kids (under
the age of 21). Law Enforcement (LE)
agencies in Michigan take over 1,000 missing
children reports a week. Most of these kids
come back within a day or two. Sometimes,
maybe a week or more. Not all of these cases
are endangerment cases. In fact, most are
runaways. As in voluntarily, but in the eyes
of the law, a status offense. Others are taken
as a part of a custody dispute. But most, are
runaways. These are all types of kids. Kids
that don’t want to follow rules. Kids that
don’t like the foster home they were placed
in. Kids with mental issues and substance
abuse problems. Kids that will keep being
kids. I have kids that run away every Friday
because they don’t want to follow a curfew-
they come home every Monday.
It’s not that Law Enforcement doesn’t care
about them, because we do. It’s just that
we have to prioritize these cases. We have
to investigate the endangered cases first.
Can you imagine the volume of work these
cases create? The turnover rate for a juvenile
runaway is very high, as they may go missing
and come back numerous times within a
short period. It can be very taxing on law
enforcement resources and the family to
deal with.

To effectively combat human trafficking, each of us needs
to have a clear “lens” that helps us understand what
human trafficking is. When this lens is clouded or biased
by misconceptions about the definition of trafficking, our
ability to respond to the crime is reduced. It is important
to learn how to identify and break down commonly-held
myths and misconceptions regarding human trafficking
and the type of trafficking networks that exist in the United
States.
Trafficked persons can only be foreign
nationals or are only immigrants from other
countries.
The federal definition of human
trafficking includes both U.S.
citizens and foreign nationals. Both
are protected under the federal
trafficking statutes and have been
since the TVPA of 2000. Human trafficking within
the United States affects victims who are U.S.
citizens, lawful permanent residents, visa holders,
and undocumented workers.
Human trafficking is another term for human
smuggling.
Smuggling is a crime against a country’s borders:
human trafficking is a crime against a person. Each
are distinct federal crimes in the United States.
While smuggling requires illegal border crossing,
human trafficking involves commercial sex acts or
labor or services that are induced through force,
fraud, or coercion, regardless of whether or not
transportation occurs.
Victims of human trafficking will immediately
ask for help or assistance and will self-identify as
a victim of a crime.
Victims of human trafficking often do not
immediately seek help or self-identify as victims of
a crime due to a variety of factors, including lack
of trust, self-blame, or specific instructions by the
traffickers regarding how to behave when talking to
law enforcement or social services. It is important to
avoid making a snap judgment about who is or who
is not a trafficking victim based on first encounters.
Trust often takes time to develop. Continued trust-
building and patient interviewing is often required
to get to the whole story and uncover the full
experience of what a victim has gone through.
Human trafficking victims always come from
situations of poverty or from small rural villages.
Although poverty can be a factor in human
trafficking because it is often an indicator of
vulnerability, poverty alone is not a single causal
factor or universal indicator of a human trafficking
victim. Trafficking victims can come from a range
of income levels, and many may come from families
with higher socioeconomic status.
Sex trafficking is the only form of human
trafficking.
The federal definition of human trafficking
encompasses both sex trafficking and labor
trafficking, and the crime can affect men and
women, children and adults.
Human trafficking only occurs in illegal
underground industries.
Trafficking can occur in legal and
legitimate business settings as well
as underground markets. Human
trafficking has been reported in business
markets such as restaurants, hotels,
and manufacturing plants, as well as underground
markets such as commercial sex in residential
brothels and street based commercial sex.
If the trafficked person consented to be in their
initial situation or was informed about what type
of labor they would be doing or that commercial
sex would be involved, then it cannot be human
trafficking or against their will because they
“knew better.”
Initial consent to commercial sex or a labor setting
prior to acts of force, fraud, or coercion (or if the
victim is a minor in a sex trafficking situation) is not
relevant to the crime, nor is payment.
Myths & Misconceptions
of Human Trafficking

The Federal law pertaining to missing children says that LE has to
immediately take the report of a missing child and enter them into the
National Crime Information Center Database (NCIC) without delay.
That is all; that is the bare minimum. So, if they have done that, they
have done all the law requires. Sadly, many of these children are never
actually looked for.
So when I see posts on social media like “Why am I just hearing about
this missing 16 year old now?” or “She’s been missing for “x” days
now?” or “Why no AMBER Alert for this kid”? Please, understand
the magnitude of the missing children cases from our state, and every
other state, because they have the same issues.
Also keep in mind: AMBER Alerts are for Endangered/Abduction
cases. Not for runaways. I know every parent that has a child missing,
thinks their kids qualifies, but it is just reserved for the truly endangered
children that have been taken against their will and/or we believe that
without the AMBER Alert and LE intervention, they may not come
home alive.
Best thing you can do if your child goes missing is get law enforcement
involved early. Talk to your children about the risks of meeting people
they don’t actually “know” online, and monitor their friends in life and
online. You are the best advocate for your child.

Family invites the community to help
find the killer of Frano Juncaj
Frano Juncaj was murdered on Thursday September 1, 2016 at approximately 9 a.m. inside
the Detroit Coney Island. The incident took place at his family owned business located on
Detroit’s southwest side at 2626 Schaefer between S. Ethel and Bassett Street.
The shooting took place during what is usually a busy time of day. It was during a slow mo-
ment when the unknown suspect encountered Frano. He was met at the front entrance of the
business where he was murdered. Nothing seemed to have been taken.
Frano Juncaj came to the U.S. from Albania in 1975. In 1980 Frano and his brother opened
their family business; “Detroit Coney Island.” The business has been a loyal neighbor to this
community for over 30 years. Frano was known for helping out those in need by feeding some
and offering what he could to others in need. He was married for over 31 years, a father to 2
sons, 1 daughter and a granddaughter he never met. She was his first granddaughter, born
about 10 days after he was murdered.
If you have any information regarding this murder, we are asking that you make an anony-
mous call to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP or visit our website at: www.1800speakup.

Surety bail has had long and historic partnership in the criminal justice system. The purpose of bail
is to ensure the appearance of the defendant in court. Surety bail has done this for generations with
an astounding record of reliability and accountability at no cost to the taxpayer. Bail agents track
and monitor defendants to ensure they appear in court and receive their sentences. Bail agents and
the insurance company backing each bond are financially responsible for defendants released on
surety bail. It is the only form of release that ensures appearance.
A bail bond is a binding contract between
the defendant, the bail agent and insurance
company; it is presented to the court financially
guaranteeing the appearance of the defendant.
The amount of bail is set by the court or bail
schedule and is based on the offense and factors
such as the defendant’ criminal history, failures
to appear and ties to the community.
The non-refundable premium paid to the bail
agent is determined by law and is a percentage
of the overall bond amount. Collateral is often
taken to secure the bond.
Bail agents use third-party indemnitors or co
signers on a bond, usually family or friends,
who guarantee they will pay the full amount of
the bond if the defendant fails to appear.
Collateral are items of value, such as cars,
property, jewelry, and cash that is used to
guarantee the defendant’s bond. Collateral
is returned upon disposition of a case and
payment of full premium on the bond.
Surety bail is user-funded with no financial
burden on the taxpayer. The bail agent is
physically and financially responsible for a
defendant from the time released on bail until
disposition of the case; the full amount of the
bond must be paid for a failure to appear.
Defendants may remain in jail not because
they cannot afford bail but for reasons such
as the offense, criminal history, immigration
violations, awaiting transfer to state prison, held
on probation violations or serving a sentence in
the county jail.
Bail is an insurance product. The non-
refundable premium is the bail agent’s cost
of assuming the risk, liability and financial
guarantee of the appearance for the defendant.
Public safety is enhanced with surety bail,
as bail agents assess the ongoing risk of the
defendant with regular check-ins/monitoring,
court reminders and communication with
indemnitors.
Bail agents are licensed by a state’s department
of insurance or other regulatory body; bail
agents also have arrest powers to surrender
defendants back to custody of the court.
Surety bail is more effective than unsecured
release in returning all defendants to court;
if more than two percent of bonds posted
resulted in forfeitures, bail agents and insurance
underwriters on the bond could not survive.
Bail agents must keep records years after a bail
transaction; bail insurance companies must file
quarterly financial statements to demonstrate
solvency. Market conduct exams also review a
bail agent’s risk assessment on each bond.
Bail agents work with defendants from all
socioeconomic backgrounds. Bond fees and
rates are not determined by race, gender or
socioeconomicstatusbutbystrictbailschedules
or as authorized by the court.
An industry that only collects usually ten
percent upfront, yet must pay 100 percent of the
bail for ineffective performance, would go out
of business quickly if it were not effective.
PRETRIAL SERVICES
PROGRAMS
Pretrial services programs aretaxpayer-funded
programs that provide a risk assessment to the
court advocating release of the defendant on
unsecured means (free release).
Defendants released on unsecured means (free
release) have higher recidivism and failure to
appear rates, thus using more taxpayer dollars
to find and re-arrest the defendant.
The recidivism rate is almost twice as high for
defendants released on unsecured release (free
release) vs. release on surety bail through a
licensed bail agent.
A taxpayer-funded pretrial services program
can have budgets in the thousands or millions,
comprising mostly of salaries, fringe benefits
and infrastructure costs that increase annually.
Only a small percentage of pretrial services
programs use indigence as a factor to screen
for release, thus using taxpayer funds to release
defendants who could be able to pay for their
own release.
Taxpayers are financially responsible for
defendants who fail to appear under pretrial
services programs, paying for additional law
enforcement costs to find the defendant, jail
housing costs, increased public defender costs
and program administration costs.
Risk assessment tools used by pretrial services
programs for free release vary widely, are not
universally applicable and are of marginal
effectiveness; release decisions are based on a
brief interview /application from the defendant
who is presumed to be telling the truth.
Pretrial services programs accept and offer
free release for defendants charged with both
misdemeanor and felony offenses, many with
prior criminal histories and failures to appear.
Pretrial services programs put defendants
in programs (drug testing, GPS monitoring,
supervision) before proven guilty, disregarding
the principle of innocence until proven guilty.
Pretrial services programs don’t have authority

Pretrial services programs should be accountable for their performance;
yet their statistics are often skewed or hidden and programs have
significant disparate differences in how data is collected and used.
A high number of defendants released through unsecured methods
(free release) never come back to court, creating significant costs to the

We are working with Michigan’s Most Wanted
to help publicize unsolved cases and fugitives
in their paper to work together towards safer
communities. We are looking for sponsors to
help us place these cases in the newspaper.
Sponsors will receive an ad for their support.
The Most Wanted newspaper is a free publication
and is placed in restaurants, gas stations, local
courts, jails, party stores and probation and
parole offices.
Crime Stoppers is the largest crime fighting
organization in the world operating in 22
countries. Crime Stoppers of Michigan is a
nonprofit organization and operates through
funding of donations, memberships and an
annual fundraiser. CSM operates in Livingston,
Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, Washtenaw
and Wayne Counties.
The mission of CSM is to empower people to make
their neighborhoods, schools, and businesses
safer through anonymous reporting of crimes.
The CSM tipline, 1-800-SPEAK-UP was created for
citizens to anonymously report information about
a crime. As an incentive, tipsters can receive
a cash reward if their information leads to an
arrest. A cash reward of up to $2,500 is paid for
an unsolved homicide, hit and run or missing
person. A cash reward of up to $1,000 is paid for
all other felony crimes.
2015 was an exceptional year for Crime Stoppers
of Michigan. We had a 7% increase in successful
tips over 2014, receiving a total of 197 successful
tips which lead to 209 arrests; 195 of those for
felonies. Crime Stoppers tips helped solve one
arson, three carjackings, seven robberies and
fifteen homicides. Detroit tips were up by 8.6%
over the previous year. Nearly $90,000 was
awarded to tipsters for information provided that
assisted law enforcement across the region. Every
other day in 2015, Crime Stoppers of Michigan
provided information to law enforcement that
assisted them in an investigation or arrest.
The reality is that Crime Stoppers has been
experiencing increased success for the last
three years through 2015. Over that time period,
19,362 anonymous tips were received leading
to 600 arrests and $259,455 awarded to tipsters.
Among the cases solved by anonymous tips
were fifty-six homicides, thirty-eight robberies,
four carjackings and two arsons. In addition, 216
fugitives were apprehended and 110 narcotics
operations shut down.
Some of our success stories of 2015 were the
solving of the homicide of a pastor, a well-known
community activist who was a father of six and
a Sinai Grace team leader of twenty-one years.
Other solved crimes include a sexual assault of
an eleven year old girl in Detroit, a hit and run
of a mother in Detroit, a shooting of an eighteen
year-old in Greektown, an armed robbery at a
hotel in Harper Woods, a bank robbery in Grosse
Pointe Woods, capturing of carjackers at a gas
station in Detroit, a home invasion in Grosse Ile,
an auto theft in Flint, a narcotics operation shut
down in Ypsilanti and wanted fugitives in Monroe
and Oakland Counties.
Michigan’s Most Wanted is looking to provide
