About Project Jason

Before June 13th, 2001, we were just an ordinary family living a peaceful, happy existence. My husband, Jim, and I worked outside the home, spent time with our two wonderful sons, attended Mass every Sunday, and enjoyed the company of family and friends. On that fateful Wednesday, our lives changed forever. Our family unit was brutally ripped apart when our oldest son, Jason, then age 19, disappeared without a trace from our driveway.

Project Jason has unveiled their latest awareness program in Omaha. The WhereInOmaha? Bus Bench program utilizes area bus bench advertising to display information and photos of local missing persons. Each bench, strategically placed near the area where the person was last seen or was known to frequent, includes a photo, pertinent physical data, and the phone number to call with information about that missing person. Four different Omaha missing persons cases are featured in the initial program launch, and more will be added if the program is supported by the public and corporate sponsors. A contest is in progress for Omaha area residents to help support the bus bench program. Corporate and private sponsors are also needed to help ensure the program's future and expand it to other cities. To learn more about the program and contest, which ends May 10th, please see www.whereinomaha.com
