The Dr. Wendy Show

Saved In America is proud to share that Joseph Anthony Travers, Founder and Private Investigations Manager of Saved In America, was recently featured on The Dr. Wendy Walsh Show to discuss the realities surrounding missing and exploited children in the United States.

During the interview, Travers highlighted the critical gaps between missing persons reports and active recovery efforts, emphasizing how time, accurate information, and collaboration between families and law enforcement are essential in successful recoveries. Drawing from decades of investigative experience, he spoke about the emotional toll on families and the importance of trauma-informed, victim-centered approaches throughout an investigation.

Travers also addressed common misconceptions surrounding missing children cases, including the assumption that recovery efforts end once a report is filed. In reality, many cases require ongoing investigative support, coordination across jurisdictions, and persistent advocacy the very foundation on which Saved In America operates.

The feature served as an important platform to elevate awareness, educate the public, and reinforce why organizations like Saved In America remain essential. Media opportunities such as this allow for broader conversations around prevention, response, and accountability in missing persons cases, ultimately helping protect vulnerable children and support families in crisis.
