The CUE Center for Missing Persons recently held its National Missing Persons Conference in Wilmington, NC, bringing together families, advocates, and experts dedicated to finding the missing and supporting those left behind. Among the distinguished guests was Norma Peterson, Executive Director of Document The Abuse, who not only spoke at the event but was also honored alongside her husband, Paul Peterson, for their outstanding contributions.

The concept of the Evidentiary Abuse Affidavit (EAA) was pioneered by Susan Murphy Milano, a nationally known advocate for victims of abuse, who dedicated her life to creating proactive solutions for those trapped in violent relationships. When the Stacy Peterson missing persons case garnered media attention in 2007, Susan was triggered by all of the red flags from her personal experiences and got to work.
