They're under budget and short staffed.We filed a missing person's report in 2018 and got him on NamUS at the same time.Is there any way the OSBI can take over the case?We just want to bring our son home.

A: I feel terrible that you are having to experience such a situation. Be persistent and unrelenting, and don't be afraid to ask questions of government authorities. Contact OSBI and contact the local DA's office, if you do not feel that the Sheriff's Office is doing anything or enough (regardless of why). Consider hiring a private investigator - at least contact a few to find out if they can help. I wish you the best.
