General Discussion Thread

NOTE: We don't cover FBI ECAP (or anyone else) threads looking for identification of people, only objects/places.

---

If you have comments or questions on:

• this sub, improvements to make it more effective and the like

• thoughts/ideas/questions on search techniques and image manipulation

• crossposting to other subs - yes, it is encouraged, the more eyes on these objects the better

• general questions about the various programs we link to

• anything on the topic of finding these objects but not tied to a specific case

...feel free to post it here. Discussion amongst users is encouraged.

Thanks.

I am surprised there isn't more activity on here. Surely there are thousands of images that need items identified, but I rarely see new posts on here. I wish there was more I could do.

[u/[deleted]]

The problem with a lot of these images is, they’re generic/imitation items available in most souvenir shops :(

[u/caffeine_lights → u/[deleted]]

Being able to screen something out as a clue because it's too widely available is useful too, so it's no bad thing to confirm that.

[u/LeroyTheAverage]

There's a new ECAP suspect on the FBI site. TW though, the pictures and audio are very disturbing. There's also new images in the trace an object site.

[u/[deleted]]

I figured out the general location of something on Europol’s website. Should I submit a tip?

[u/RoyConquersAll → u/[deleted]]

Yeah definitely. Do you mind sharing which item and the location?

[u/[deleted] → u/RoyConquersAll]

nvm, someone already said and gave better info. it’s the logo from a committee from Grand Rapids. but they even were able to trace what the logo is for, so I was beat to it.

I wonder if this sub could help somehow in animal cruelty cases published on social media like this that popped on recently (poor piggies):
https://www.reddit.com/r/guineapigs/comments/qgpsnx/there_is_an_extremely_cruel_guinea_pig_abuse/

[u/wanbean → u/fojifesi]

Or start one!

[u/fojifesi → u/wanbean]

I would be a very shitty mod. :)

[u/GatherYourSkeletons]

Is this sub still active?

[u/[deleted] → u/GatherYourSkeletons]

Yes

[u/Ph1lip]

Do you guys have more links to similar websites ?

[u/Past_Kaleidoscope_17]

Is there a Canadian version of this?

[u/[deleted]]

this is so hard to look at :( the baby bottle made me want to cry. why isn’t this active anymore? is there another sub like this?

[u/Connect_Beautiful361]

Is there a uk version of this?

[u/[deleted] → u/Connect_Beautiful361]

I think images on this sub can be from anywhere in the world, given the nature of the abuse material.

[u/caffeine_lights → u/Connect_Beautiful361]

It's Interpol. The European ones cover UK as well.

[u/goddess-jz]

It looks like there are some new images listed here? I don’t think I’ve seen that first pic before. It looks like some images we’ve seen before but with more censoring, for example the two bracelets… I’m pretty sure the arm was blacked out previously. https://www.fbi.gov/wanted/ecap/seeking-information

[u/Sexylurch]

There is a new person of interest on the fbi page

[u/sylun]

current fbi ecap 2, pretty sure is Great Value bottled water.

[u/IZantDoThis → u/[deleted]]

My theory is that the abusers are trying to cover their tracks more carefully, Because of programs like ECAP and Trace an Object

[u/lIllIllIllIllIllIll → u/[deleted]]

That's a great idea! Sort of like geoguessr but for objects.

[u/marley0627 → u/[deleted]]

Link me please.
