PHOENIX — The Phoenix Police Department is hosting its ninth annual event Saturday to amplify missing persons cases.

Family and friends of missing persons will have the opportunity to make detailed police reports and speak individually with detectives.

Direct relatives can also provide DNA samples that will be entered into a database used to identify unknown human remains.

Members of the department’s laboratory will be on hand to assist with collection.

The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Memorial Hall at Indian Steele Park, located at 300 E. Indian School Road.

A candlelight vigil honoring the missing will wrap up the event at 5:30 p.m.

We want to hear from you.
