The CUE Center has a large volunteer network of professional search teams that aid in the search for missing children and adults across the nation they have been helping us unconditionally in our efforts and now we want to give back, said Monica Caison CUE’s founder. This equipment will be used to help future cases of the missing and will be a valuable resource to law officials and others that may not have this advanced technology. A lot of agencies have scan sonar but not of this caliber – it is amazing what this instrument can see underwater and locate we are confident in this team’s use of the equipment and training for future successful searches.
