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.

Author Carole Moore Extends Gratitude to Project Jason for Assistance With New Book about Missing Persons Carole Moore's "The Last Place You'd Look" focuses on the efforts of police, search and rescue, nonprofits and volunteer organizations to help find missing persons.

Author Carole Moore, whose most recent book is "The Last Place You'd Look: True Stories of Missing Persons and the People Who Search for Them," wishes to acknowledge the expert assistance provided by Kelly Jolkowski, president of Project Jason. Jolkowski, whose nonprofit organization assists families of missing persons, offered information, resources, and recommended contacts from families of missing persons and from reputable organizations that assist them. "Kelly Jolkowski and Project Jason played a pivotal role in putting together 'The Last Place You'd Look,'" said Moore. "Not only did Kelly put me in contact with dozens of families, but she also gave me invaluable guidance in finding organizations and individuals to interview about this important subject."

37 families of missing persons were referred to Carole for inclusion in the book. Sadly, since the publication, 3 of those persons have been found deceased.
