*As a young housewife and mother living in Howell, Elizabeth Sinor struggled with infant daughter Lydia's stroller, inadvertently knocking a book off the shelf.
Picking the book up, Sinor, a native of Lake City, was about to put it back when she noticed it was about the Green River killings in the Seattle-Tacoma area in Washington.
Instead of returning it to the shelf, she decided to read the book.
"After that, I just read everything I could about serial killers," Sinor said during a visit to Mt. Pleasant last week.
That was more than a decade ago, but the book forever changed Sinor's life.
Sinor, 34, a 1998 graduate of Central Michigan University with a bachelor of science degree in psychology and criminal justice, has devoted her life to identifying the dead and drawing attention to missing men, women and children.
As Michigan Area Director of the Doe Network, Sinor, a onetime journalism major at CMU who left college, married Matthew Sinor and later returned to Mt. Pleasant to finish school, is passionate about finding the missing.
Sinor, who owns the Michigan Does Web site -
www.michigandoes.com - is equally devoted to identifying John and Jane Does.
With help from a researcher who scours the Internet and newspapers, Sinor, who administers Michigan Does from her home outside Columbus, finds media accounts of the missing in Michigan and posts their pictures, along with physical descriptions and law enforcement agencies investigating the disappearances, on the Web site.
Becky Sue MacDonald, a Fremont Township woman missing since late November, was recently added to the site, Sinor said.
Michigan Does, however, is not meant to be a tool to reunite old friends or lovers, Sinor said.
In order to have a page on Michigan Does, a police investigation into the person's disappearance is required, Sinor said.
Sinor also does not act as a go-between. Although she will pass information on to police, she indicates on the Web site that information should be directed to the police agency investigating the disappearance.
What started with the Green River killings book so long ago has developed into volunteer work with Project EDAN - Everyone Deserves A Face -- as well as another Web site, this one devoted to unsolved serial killings.
Project EDAN, the brainchild of Sinor and Todd Matthews, area director of the Doe Network in Tennessee and Kentucky, is a non-profit organization that uses volunteer forensic artists to age progression sketches on long-missing people.
With the help from about 20 artists, who pay for their own supplies, Project EDAN also does image enhancements, three dimensional facial reconstructions, post mortem sketching and two-dimensional facial reconstructions to law enforcement agencies free of charge.
Forensic artists can be expensive - charging as much as $5,000 for a three-dimensional facial reconstruction - making Project EDAN a blessing for cold case investigators.
"I love being able to tell an investigator that we can do it at no charge," Sinor said.
Sinor sometimes puts in as much as 60 hours a week on her causes, adding missing persons to the Michigan Does site, working with police on Project EDAN and checking for comments on
www.coldserial.net, which is now devoted to the cold child killing cases in Oakland County in 1976 and 1977.
The only pay she gets is the satisfaction of helping others.
"If I could have any dream job, I'd say I'm already doing it," Sinor said.
While the efforts of Sinor and others involved in the Doe Network have helped police solve missing person cases, they almost always involve death, Sinor said.
Although that can be heartbreaking for Sinor, it gives families closure, she said.
"There's just such a need out there," she said. "The families of the missing persons just grab my heart.
"You definitely give them something positive."
