#LOSTISNOTALONE
Texas EquuSearch Search & Recovery
“I searched 17 months for Laura and knew then — I could never leave a family alone to search for their loved one.” – Tim Miller
If you are missing a loved one, as in the cases below, please request our help, and the generosity of others covers all costs.
Texas EquuSearch has never charged a family or law enforcement a single penny.
That’s possible because good people everywhere step up when someone goes missing — people with the same compassion as our searchers.

OUR MISSION
Why We Search: Founder Tim Miller’s Story
In 1984, Tim Miller’s daughter, Laura, was abducted and murdered. That tragedy revealed a critical gap: families of missing persons were left to search alone.
In August 2000, Tim founded Texas EquuSearch to ensure no family would face that abandonment again. Every team member is a volunteer—united by one purpose: ensuring that #LostIsNotAlone. We receive no government funding and never charge families.
Don't Thank Me, Thank Laura
