Summary
A study from Northeastern University's School of Criminology and Criminal Justice found that regular journaling can significantly improve outcomes in missing persons investigations by providing valuable clues to detectives. The research suggests that even minimal journaling, such as jotting down names and circling them in red ink, can be highly beneficial when someone disappears without a trace.
