About Beyond the Case - Missouri (BTCMO)
BTCMO arose from the need for additional psychological resources in cold case and specifically, missing persons investigations. Families of missing loved ones may lack awareness of available support. Law enforcement, regardless of experience and dedication, can benefit from a fresh perspective, especially when demands of their work overwhelm their good intent. BTCMO is a volunteer team offering assessments and case reviews for law enforcement and families, providing crucial insights to uncover new leads and enhance victimology understanding.
​​
BTCMO is backed by a team of knowledgeable, skilled, and well-trained members. Our volunteers and board members possess a range of education and years of experience, with expertise in criminal justice, emergency services, search and rescue (SAR), social media, law, and general/forensic psychology.
​
BTCMO collaborates with various organizations and individuals possessing specialized skills. This external professional support is a crucial element in achieving case success. The synergy of partnering with national and local missing persons organizations, certified and experienced volunteer and agency dive teams, licensed drone pilots, equine and dog teams, along with other emergency services is essential.
How can forensic and investigative psychology assist in a missing persons case?
Like the making of a fine wine...no matter who you are, you are human.
By taking into account genetics, lifestyle, family history, and environmental factors, we can more accurately define the parameters for understanding and studying an individual's behavior and actions. Both forensic and investigative psychology contribute valuable insights in behavioral profiling, identifying unique traits, and patterns. BTCMO utilizes these methodologies in analyzing information.
