The Memphis Safe Task Force (MSTF) has reunited two siblings and a toddler with their loved ones after they were reported missing since January 1. The children were found in separate locations across Shelby County, Tennessee, with the MSTF coordinating the recovery efforts on Sunday, as reported by the United States Marshals Service.
With a responsive gathering of leads, the MSTF, an interagency coalition, managed to trace the missing children. Working in conjunction with federal, state, and local law enforcement partners, their determination led them to where reported missing by a family member to the Memphis Police Department. The MSTF subsequently entrusted the children’s care to the Tennessee Department of Children’s Services.
The successful operation adds to the MSTF’s track record, with now 142 children found since its inception on October 1, 2025. According to a press release by the United States Marshals Service, this recent success underscores the unwavering efforts of the task force aimed at addressing the crisis of missing and endangered children.
“Behind every child that is not in a safe environment, there are family, friends, and concerned people waiting for their safe return,” said Tyreece Miller, United States Marshal for the District of Western Tennessee, in a statement obtained by the press release. By bringing the missing children home that is now 142, Miller emphasized the ongoing commitment to the cause, echoing the sentiment that every missing child matters.
