The inception of “Find JJ and Tylee” traces back to a deeply personal journey embarked upon by our founder, Alex Rivers, a former investigative journalist with over fifteen years of experience in uncovering truths and bringing hidden stories to light. Alex’s expertise and unwavering commitment to justice were galvanized into action following the unsettling disappearance of two children in his hometown. The case, which gained minimal attention on national platforms, deeply resonated with Alex, who had witnessed similar stories of unresolved cases throughout his career.
Inspired by the pressing need to advocate for those who seemingly vanished without a trace, Alex launched the blog as a platform dedicated to investigating cold cases of missing children. The journey, however, was fraught with challenges. Gathering information on cases that had long been forgotten by mainstream media required immense perseverance and often led to dead ends. Despite these hurdles, the emotional stories and the families’ enduring hope fueled Alex’s dedication to shed light on every story, no matter how long it took to find the answers.
