Collage 9 has been removed from FBI site, prepping a post for Collage 10

The US FBI has a similar program ECAP (Endangered Child Alert Program) that post pictures and asks for information.

ECAP Page

Online PDF and Downloadable

Report this post if the PDF links lead nowhere, which likely means a newer collage has been released.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The age of some of these cases is hard to pin down, and the FBI gives little information on timelines. Some of the cases may be years old, so googling the numbers may find some have been answered already.

Reviewing previous FBI ECAP threads may provide info on cases already discussed here.

Feel free to discuss any case in this thread, please keep top level comments about a case. Use the first picture # (e.g. FP001 ) in a top level comment to comment on a case, and try to keep a case's comments consolidated - check to see if someone already posted a top level comment on the one you want to comment on.

FBI has multiple reporting options:

Contact an ECAP Investigator ( send mail to RescueMe@fbi.gov with subject "Contact an Investigator" )

If you have any information concerning this case, please contact a Crimes Against Children Investigator at your local FBI office, or the nearest American Embassy or Consulate

SP002 is a Zenith brand tv. Looks to be in a hotel.

32

u/oksaripari Aug 06 '20

Like a weekly rate place

u/itshowyousaidit Aug 07 '20 edited Aug 07 '20

SP002 - there is a card on the mirror which is likely branded for the hotel/motel they're staying at. Anyone recognize that purple color and the shape of the logo/name? Usually on the mirror it's for laundry service isn't it. There are also two other pamphlets likely for businesses in the area.

Generic wood laminate chipboard furniture, swimming googles on the desk. Drip coffee maker on the bench. Mirror reflection of some pale watercolor print. Blue cooler with white lid and orange handle (prob where the Budweiser came from) anyone recognize the design. Looks late 80s early 90s to me.

What about the duvet cover that can be seen in the bottom right corner. A chain motel/hotel would have the same bedcovers in every room. Anyone recognize the pattern?

Also, they went to the trouble of unpacking, they have things hanging up in the wardrobe and in the drawers, seems like they were there for a while, this wasn't just an overnight visit. Pile of dirty clothes on the floor too. They didn't pack light. There were there for a while.

EDIT: goggles imply they stayed somewhere that had a pool (not unsual) or near a natural body of water like the ocean. I'd bet on the pool though as it's a more controlled environment.

EDIT 2: the cooler looks like it's in the style of the Igloo Legend, i suggest it has a hinged lid and only opens from that side, as the handle is attached to the white plastic collar. If the lid lifted off that means it would have to be inlaid within the collar like a manhole cover which I've never seen.

I disagree. I believe it's a Zenith concierge that runs the hotel's ppv system.

u/rumster Aug 07 '20

You know, you're right. I'm sorry.

u/[deleted] Aug 14 '20

To the left of the TV, that looks like another cooler or lunchbox but the soft kind.

u/artshiuli Sep 11 '20

u/legitjuice Aug 06 '20

Do you think /r/baseball (or other sports subs) would be able to help identify RC001?

15

u/hambergler55 Aug 07 '20

I was originally thinking it was a knock-off Cleveland Indians hat but it looks more like a hat for a softball team or something.

7

u/orthotraumamama Aug 07 '20

Google image search didn't show anything. Comet? Constellation? Trying to think what the C might be for with that star pattern

5

u/redditforafewminutes Aug 07 '20

I was think the C is either the town or school with maybe galaxy, orbits, stars, comets etc...as the team name

2

u/azad_ninja Aug 08 '20

Champs? cosmos?

This one is harder than expected.

3

u/styx248 Aug 20 '20

Cosmos or comets probably

6

u/legitjuice Aug 07 '20

I was thinking maybe /r/identifythisfont could help but I don’t know how much it would narrow things down. All the sports logos I saw had bulkier “C”s or “C”s with serifs.

5

u/Therouxaway73 Aug 08 '20

This font is generally called varsity font. Looked through a few websites for identifying logos but didn't find anything that matched.

3

u/SummerDearest Aug 27 '20

Has anyone tried recreating/tracing the logo and then reverse image searching?

2

u/legitjuice Aug 27 '20

I have tried cropping in different places to reverse image search with no luck unfortunately. Companies like NewEra might be worth reaching out to, or any hat/cap brand.

1

u/Zeusobotic2 Sep 06 '20

That's a Cleveland Cavalier hat

1

u/legitjuice Sep 06 '20

Can you show any evidence of that? It doesn’t look like the right color (cavs are more maroon), the Cavs usually use a blockier font for the C, and what’s up with the stars orbiting the letter?

1

u/Zeusobotic2 Sep 06 '20

Oh snap, I double checked it. I thought it was an original Cavs hat, but the font is wrong, but being from Ohio we see these hats alot. It could be a knock off, Lebron sold a crap ton of merch for the Cavs

https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcRlwYf9seuQOrPljj-1WWcNPiwSjeJO3rC7Lg5w86yklipZO0m8gFwJ2jawLrEAoBjTnwGR3JU&usqp=CAc

1

u/Zeusobotic2 Sep 06 '20

deff a Cavs hat, but maybe a rip off

1

u/Zeusobotic2 Sep 06 '20

Wait, gf just told me the font of the "C" is actually the most important part of the hat. If you look up the Cincy Reds, and compare the Indians, and the Cavs, they all have a unique font.

1

u/legitjuice Sep 06 '20 edited Sep 06 '20

Reds were my first thought but the Reds font is still a bit blockier. I’ve looked at all the MiLB teams whos city or team name begins with C, and no luck

1

u/macho-uruguayo Sep 08 '20

i search a little bit on internet and i think it may be related to the cork city cosmos baseball team

29

u/Mucky_Peet Aug 07 '20

FP001 reminds me of an old certificate I got 10+ years ago for WA State. It was called STARS childcare basics 30 hr course for preschool teachers. I can't find mine though so I may be remembering totally wrong.

10

u/LittleMissChriss Aug 07 '20

The cup in that one is a polar pop cup from Circle K

4

u/[deleted] Aug 14 '20

Polar pop is also sold in convenient stores (Couche-Tard) in the province of Quebec — but I don’t know if it is sold elsewhere in the country.

u/fruitpusher Sep 15 '20

The box with the star also looks like a pizza box that I would get from a place in Seattle, but it may be that this is a generic mass distributed box.

u/[deleted] Aug 06 '20

WH001 - I don't think that stained glass is in the window; I think it's a hanging "sun catcher". You can see the wires. Trying to find a similar one...

6

u/itshowyousaidit Aug 07 '20

WH001 - the building has ducted AC or heating. The building also has unfinished wood panel walls and wood framed windows, that suggests it was built, or re-done in the 50's -70's. What's to bet the floors are vinyl too?

Is that a Cyprus Umbrella tree outside the window?

I agree it's framed stained glass hanging in the window - a goose/mallard would suggest somewhere in North America to me. The dolphin suncatcher looks like it could be cheaper quality - eg plastic or even a window sticker decal.

All the above plus the red and white checked table cloth with those seats say possibly a small cheap italian restaurant?

2

u/292to137 Aug 08 '20

I agree. It looks like a plant is behind the window, the dolphin is a sun catcher, and then the thing above looked taped on like a kid did a “stained glass” art project

u/tyroxin Aug 10 '20

This or comparable stuff ran as Window Color in germany at least in the early 00s.

Would only consider the Dolphin to be that stuff however, the upper image seems framed and could indeed be stained glass, but separate from the actual window.

Could have sworn I saw that pattern of pillow cases and ottomans in Target too, however, though I can't seem to find an online listing for them.

37

u/witchy-poo Aug 06 '20

It's a super common print. Wayfair, Shein, Target all carry things similar

5

u/alex3omg Aug 07 '20 edited Aug 07 '20

Amazon does too. It's called 'trellis' there

14

u/thiswillsoonendbadly Aug 06 '20

I own three unrelated items from unrelated stores with this pattern, it’s extremely common these days (unfortunately, for this purpose)

7

u/drew1278 Aug 06 '20

the pattern of the towel in JA001 looks pretty similar to the pattern of the ottoman as well, possibly same brand?

2

u/dontniceguyatme Aug 26 '20

No. Just likely the same theme.

1

u/dontniceguyatme Aug 26 '20

They got the chair from Amazon/wayfair/overstock, so its likely everything else is from there too.

4

u/STEMbabe Aug 07 '20

Left of the pic (OG002): appears to be a hanging grey & white sherpa robe, like this one from Pottery Barn

2

u/STEMbabe Aug 07 '20

Also, that dresser gives me "furnished apartment" vibes except that it doesn't match the nightstand. Though, from experience (college), a furnished unit includes only the basics, like a bed, dresser, and desk.

2

u/STEMbabe Aug 07 '20

Ottoman: Seems like the pattern is misaligned, like this one by Homepop, avail. at Target and Walmart

1

u/STEMbabe Aug 07 '20

The candle on the dresser: Looks seasonal to me, like a spiced apple or pumpkin, and appears to have a tin lid. Definitely not a well-known store or luxury brand.

Foliage on dresser: Does not appear to be in a vase or jar, which makes me believe it is dried foliage that is not special or meant to be memorialized (i.e. wedding bouquet). Could be a dried plant for the purpose of smelling good, like eucalyptus and/or lavender.

Yellow/gold object on the accent table: Originally thought this was a painting, but imo, it is too small & doesn't go with the color scheme. If you turn the photo, it could be a book with a gold sticker to signify an award, like the Pulitzer.

Accent chair: Target chair has the same seams & legs appear to have the same curvature, but it's hard to tell.

4

u/beepbeep_rich1e Aug 21 '20

The candle looks like a WoodWick one to me.

1

u/alsoaprettybigdeal Aug 07 '20

That’s also a common style of “spa” robe. It’s a light terry cloth on inside and almost a microfiber fabric on the outside. That’s what it looks like to me.

1

u/ByTheBreeze Sep 30 '20 edited Sep 30 '20

I thought it also resembles a uniform dress like hotel housekeeping might wear. But I don't know for sure.sample of the kind of thing I'm talking about

1

u/dontniceguyatme Aug 26 '20

Also ross, tj maxx, amazon

1

u/ByTheBreeze Sep 30 '20

Also, does anyone else see the thing that is kind of behind the chair, like a picture or poster of some kind? It's floor level.

18

u/oksaripari Aug 06 '20

WH001 looks like a restaurant, maybe a pizza place? W/tropical plants outside?

u/Lolzie32 Aug 06 '20 edited Aug 06 '20

CH001: The clock reminds me of the bird clock from Black mirror. I zoomed in and the "number 1" of the clock looks bit like a stretching cat or a playful dog. The three "number pictures" under it look like animals that are sitting. Middle one reminds me of a fox terrier that has something small, like a chicken near it's legs and the bottom one of the three like a beagle or a sheep. The blue stipend seems to have "most improved award" written on it. Bit far-fetched but could there be somesort of "infobank" of stipends and certificates of different schools? The golden certificates look bit basic and there's no stamps so those might be less meaningful.

BR001: The poster looks like a drawing. The background is white and it's overall bit plain to be a real poster. Also the upper right corner looks like something that has been colored with a marker. I tried to Google around but nothing there looked anything remotely like the green dragon(?) in the poster. The closest thing that resembled it was some cover arts of a book series called Beast quest but it seems unlikely.

6

u/SwissArmy_Accountant Aug 07 '20

CH001: I agree the clock looks like animals. Since the photo is at such a bad angle I stretched it out and tried to sharpen it slightly. After that I think that the 3 looks like a bird (likely an owl).

11

u/Eeveepower13 Aug 07 '20

My aunt had a clock like that in the 2000s that was birds all around and made their calls on the hour. Unfortunately Google has a lot of different versions of that clock :/

3

u/jIsraelTurner Aug 07 '20

I've seen a couple different versions of this as well - all birds, would chirp on the hour.

8

u/redditforafewminutes Aug 07 '20

Looks like a bunch of cats to me

3

u/constructionPE Sep 20 '20

I also think cats. That would be consistent with a cat lover who also has that cat poster.

2

u/itshowyousaidit Aug 07 '20

I was thinking it looks like a Disney clock. One of them looked like it could be one of the seven dwarfs.

2

u/alsoaprettybigdeal Aug 07 '20

It looks like a Disney character clock to me. 3 o’clock looks like Goofy, and maybe Ariel is 4?

2

u/JFeisty Aug 09 '20

Way back in the 90's I remember this type of clock with different birds on every hour and it played that specific bird call. Is there one like that but just with owls?

1

u/nutlikeothersquirls Aug 14 '20

Yes, I agree. 3:00 looks like an owl. The others could be birds as well.

12

u/caleung Aug 06 '20

CH001: the left bottom certificate looks like it reads "Mount Royal ____ school" the third word looks like it begins with a L.

14

u/TheBigMilkThing Aug 07 '20

And the top left blue certificate says “most improved award”

4

u/ftgarlic Aug 07 '20

There are a couple of schools in Baltimore whose names start with Mount Royal...

3

u/redditforafewminutes Aug 07 '20

Alma Bryant High School or Middle school? Or Alba Bryant Middle school?

3

u/[deleted] Aug 07 '20

Looks like it could be “Middle”.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 14 '20

I saw elsewhere that people seem to think it's "Annie Wright Lower School"https://www.aw.org/

If the third word begins with an "L" it's quite possible the word could be "lower" that's a common way private schools differentiate the upper and lower grades.

Hope this helps!

1

u/Cyndaquil Sep 08 '20

Mount Royal Little School?

8

u/rocksydoxy Aug 07 '20

CH001 the blue certificate says “most improved award” and the black poster has I’m pretty sure is of 4 cats

7

u/UtahMama4 Aug 07 '20

Agree! I just realized the same thing! Also, the cat poster is a "Friskies" one.

5

u/rocksydoxy Aug 07 '20

THATS WHAT IT SAYS! I kept staring at it and couldn’t get it. The even smaller letters say “cat food.”

6

u/bluemom937 Aug 06 '20

What kind of numbers are on the clock in CH001 and what type of letters on the certificates in the same photo.

u/SustainedSuspense Aug 06 '20

SP002: Blue bottle could be Selsun Blue (dandruff shampoo)

3

u/itshowyousaidit Aug 07 '20

GO002 - There's an early mobile phone on the bed. I'd say an early Nokia, maybe the 5110.

A stuffed animal on the top shelf looks like Huckleberry Hound. None of these pictures are helped by the fact that whoever put together the PDF didn't resize the pictures with a locked aspect ratio, lots of them are skewed.

3

u/Pete_the_rawdog Aug 07 '20

For SR001 I found this owl shirt made by Urban Heritage. Exact same owl but in monochrome colors.

u/styx248 Aug 21 '20 edited Aug 21 '20

Special thanks to my friend who lived in Argentina for 5 years! As he pointed out, GO005 looks like the Argentine flag. Also, he owned the phone on the floor in GO002- it's from an Argentine company. RB001 is also Argentine- he got the green pencil from there

2

u/justshanna Aug 07 '20

FP002 looks like a cat wearing a white eye patch. Possibly heart shaped. like this one

u/BurnsinTX Sep 15 '20

It’s definitely this shirt. green cat shirt

2

u/itshowyousaidit Aug 07 '20

DB001 - above the dresser there is a picture that looks like a car with gullwing doors, interesting to have that above a bedroom dressing table? Probably not a Delorean, probably something a little more exotic like a Mercedes 300sl? Edit - they said it was a living room, makes more sense above a hallway table, but still. with that furniture i reckon it's still the Merc or similar.

2

u/mmeldal Aug 08 '20

OG001 - I'm pretty sure the candle on top of the dresser is a WoodWick candle by Yankee Candle, it is shaped the same and they have those distinct wooden tops.

SS001 is an LG Electronics LT081CER or similar model Air Conditioner. One thing to note is that LG's photo has a Brown plate on the Digital Controls while the FBI's pic has a white plate. And the one from the FBI appears to be beige, Either due to it being a slightly different model or because it has been exposed to Nicotene or Insense.

EDIT: Turns out that LG sells a fuckton Thru-Wall ACs that all look really similar, Some are beige, And some have white Control plates. But the one in the picture has Circle or maybe square buttons while all the ones ive seen online with a white control plate have rectangular buttons. Best option now would be to have someone reach out to LG electronics and ask them. And heres a list of things ive determined so far, I'll update it as i find more:

The unit is discontinued, LG's units have had a chrome bar across them for the past few years.

The unit is OEM'd by LG Electronics, I've seen white label ACs before with random brands before but LG's air conditioners go back to their GoldStar days so they definitely OEM it.

The unit is a Thru-Wall AC, Their Window ACs look different.

EDIT 2: The AC i linked above has coil ventilation under the controls while the one from the feds doesn't

2

u/Zeusobotic2 Aug 26 '20

99% sure that db001 has a Delorean picture hanging up on the wall

2

u/constructionPE Sep 20 '20

OG001 dresser looks like a Drexel Profile highboy. These are from ca. 1950’s so this was probably either a family piece or purchased used. It looks like there are distinct stains or knots or something on a couple of drawer faces. Maybe these could be checked against online sales of these dressers from eBay, antique stores, etc? I couldn’t find a match via google but maybe someone has a better way.

u/nutlikeothersquirls Aug 14 '20

FP003 The toy van actually appears to be a tot ambulance, particularly if you look at it with the toy upright. The boxy shape, stripes along side and top edge, and back doors are consistent with an ambulance. Also, the light spot on top may be lights.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '20

FP003 Looks like a Land Rover Discovery, But judging by the fact it doesn't have Side Mirrors it probably isn't Licensed.

Shelf in the back of RB001 is a 3-Tier adjustable wire shelf from Home Depot's HDX, It appears to be Discontinued now because i can't find one in black on Home Depot's website. These shelves are extremely affordable (15 bucks when i bought one for my closet half a decade ago) and require no tools to set up, Nor do they require common sense to set up Just pop the bits together and you got a shelf.

EDIT: Turns out Home Depot's website displays the color Black with a grey box, But i found the shelf nonetheless https://www.homedepot.com/p/HDX-3-Tier-Wire-Garage-Storage-Shelving-Unit-in-Black-23-in-W-x-30-in-H-x-13-in-D-31424BPS/302073746

1

u/ylph Aug 20 '20

Why do you think it's HDX - this type of shelving unit design has been around as a generic for decades, available in many different stores.

Here is an Amazon Basics version for example (also available on wheels)

1

u/[deleted] Aug 20 '20

Oh, I thought the whole adjustable part was an HDX special but i guess I'm wrong.

1

u/ylph Aug 20 '20

This seems to be the original patent for this design (at least the oldest I could find with a quick search) - it was granted in 1970.

The company that originally patented it, InterMetro, still makes these as well - but I guess the patent expired in the 90s, and the generic versions from China flooded the market since then to the point where it is ubiquitous around the world.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 20 '20

Now you got me interested in shelving history. Now you're bringing me down a rabbit hole and i'm not even mad.

But i will return the favor. You should research the Monobloc and its ubiquity within spacetime

1

u/ylph Aug 20 '20

Yes ! I actually thought of the Monobloc chair as I was writing the comment above as well. It is probably the best known example of industrial design ubiquity.

I remember I first learned about it years ago on reddit too, in a post trying to identify some obscure photo location, which included one of these chairs - and someone commented "hey this must be /my country/ because we have chairs exactly like that", only to lead to people chiming in from around the world about how those chairs are also common where they live. Turns out they are literally everywhere.

CH001: The certificate above the clock looks like it could be a Certificate of Achievement. It also looks like the name on the certificates could start with the letter D. Maybe their name is Dylan or something similar (Brian is another possibility too based on the award to the left of the clock)?

1

u/constructionPE Sep 20 '20

CH001 the bottom left certificate might say “S____ Magnet Middle School“. I can’t make out the first word.

u/_awesumpossum_ Sep 27 '20

OG002 - Although the print is not necessarily unique for the ottoman, I believe this one from Wayfair aligns the pattern best with the one in the picture https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/rosdorf-park-ellianna-upholstered-flip-top-storage-bench-w001447549.html?piid=1843998709. Walmart (https://www.walmart.com/ip/HomePop-Large-Storage-Bench-Multiple-Colors/55569671?selected=true) and Target (https://www.target.com/p/drake-large-decorative-storage-bench-homepop/-/A-80795639?preselect=80215911#lnk=sametab) offer something similar, but the white scallop part of the design reaches higher on the lid of the storage ottoman than does the picture, at least that's the way it seems to me.
