the web site i got backlash not knowing about the case ways trying to research and find them and my source was ndp outside of one case three years ago. >> i talked to valencia she still believes her daughter was taken. is that still what you believe and is that how this search is carried out. >> and what she does and as well as other daughters out there nat we still have noten been able to find and she gives other parents permission to joint effort in us helping to find them. and looking for parents that need support and going out to look for the daughters and looking for them to come forward. >> let's talk about this plan and the mayor has come up with six initiatives. she's responding to this tell me do you think this is a step in the right direction. >> i think she's responding directly

resolution that my office provided to her as of wenz we gave her ten items at the town hall meeting we were located at with council members supporting me and bringing this whole thing together. and i think she just wanted that. there's still some items that i think it's a great step in the right direction and we need to look at technology and we need a system put in place to accepted a video text or photo text and in place of 911 call that would give information out to people right away. >> so that means if someone is missing you can send a text of their picture right to police or put into the social media atmosphere right away. >> absolutely. you would also if had you seen a issing person if you see someone because right now there's outstanding -- i talked to commander out there this morning command are dickerson to bring ago wareness to the cause like i told her this morning aim here to plug in the holes and gaps. we're all working together here. we're just fighting areas whe
