Fox News
Alicia "Kozak" Kozakiewicz of North Carolina is using her Instagram and TikTok to share seldom-seen missing persons' posters in hopes of reuniting individuals with their families.
Kozak, a motivational speaker and internet safety expert in Raleigh, North Carolina, was 13 years old when she was lured from her Pennsylvania home and kidnapped by an online predator before he transferred her to Virginia, Kozak told Fox News Digital. "I was one of the lucky ones, but we don't have to leave it to luck." "Somebody somewhere was the last person to see the missing person. Somebody somewhere has the answers, and we can bring those answers to light." "I find it beautiful how the people commenting connect over shared hope. Hope is powerful when magnified." It is estimated 460,000 children are reported missing each year. Sydney Borchers is a lifestyle production assistant with Fox News Digital.
