"Finding Gina" and "America Lost and Found": Jannel Rap, FOUNDer of Gina for Missing Persons, Inc., inspired by the disappearance of her sister, has most recently focused her efforts to raise awareness of the Missing towards the medium of TV, the next step needed to "scream louder" in order to find the Missing.
Check out clips from our new reality show, "Finding Gina". This soon to be hit show is about Jannel's band, Clementine, on the Squeaky Wheel Tour meeting with the families of the missing and profiling their loved ones.
About "America Lost and Found":
Each week, missing persons' stories are told by their families, through reenactments and music and by the team at "America Lost and Found." Inspirational homecoming and found stories are the highlights of this series. There is an element of reality TV in the show: the viewer follows the production staff of "America Lost and Found" on their quest to create a series that everyone is watching, talking about and participating in the search for "America Lost and Found."
About me: GINA for Missing Persons FOUNDation’s mission is to educate the public by utilizing entertainment to create awareness and media attention for missing persons world-wide, and to offer a source of information to help people whose family members become missing.
GINA for Missing Persons FOUNDation was created in honor of Gina Bos, who disappeared from Lincoln, NE in October of 2000 after a performance. Her case had no scandal or suspect; she simply vanished. With no media hook, it became her family's challenge to create ways to gain attention for her and the thousands of people that simply vanish each year.
GINA's goal is to uncover "missing pieces to find the missing." By opening their hearts and doors, major recording artists and sponsors are promoting an ongoing effort of raising awareness of the missing while being a bridge to all forms of media.
Each year, GINA For Missing Persons produces The Squeaky Wheel™ Tour, a world-wide event consisting of talented musicians performing shows and profiling missing persons in their area.
The Squeaky Wheel Tour or SWT officially Starts Oct 17 the day Gina, disappeared and officially ends on Nov 4, Gina's birthday. Please check out all of our events by clicking on this link:

Have you ever found a friend that just touches you deep inside? You feel a special bond that you simply cannot hide. You give them a piece of your heart, a view of what you are, Sometimes they live close to you, sometimes they live too far.
It really doesn't matter, you were friends from the start, Soon you realize their memory is a piece of your heart. You feel like they're an angel, placed here just for you, You are always amazed at the sweet things that they do.
