Community Invited to Upcoming Missing Persons and Human Trafficking Seminar

The community is invited to attend an upcoming Missing Persons and Human Trafficking Seminar, sponsored by K-State Extension, Wild West District. This will be an educational event focused on increasing awareness, understanding, and preparedness surrounding two critical issues that can affect individuals, families, and communities.

The seminar will provide valuable information about missing persons investigations, human trafficking awareness, prevention, warning signs, and available resources. Attendees will have an opportunity to learn from the keynote speaker, Heidi Lynch, Missing Persons and Unidentified Remains, Human Trafficking/Human Smuggling Analyst with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation

The event is designed for members of the public as well as professionals who may encounter missing-person or trafficking cases in their work. Community members, parents, educators, advocates, first responders, law enforcement personnel, healthcare professionals, and other interested individuals are encouraged to attend.

Topics will include recognizing potential indicators of human trafficking, understanding the circumstances surrounding missing-person cases, knowing how and when to report concerns, and learning about resources available to victims and their families.

Awareness can be a powerful tool. By educating ourselves and learning how to recognize potential warning signs, we can help create a more informed and vigilant community.

Community participation is encouraged. Together, through education, awareness, and cooperation, we can help protect vulnerable individuals, support families, and strengthen our community’s response to missing persons and human trafficking.

The seminar will take place on October 14, 2026, at 6:30 pm at the Seward County Activity Center in Liberal, Kansas.

For questions or additional details, please contact Summer Stafford, Family and Community Wellness Agent, or Jane Eisenhauer, Program Assistant with K-State Extension, Wild West District, 1081 Stadium Road, Liberal, Kansas 67901, phone 620-624-5604.
