East Tennessee deputy creates web show to spotlight missing children

A Cumberland County Sheriff's deputy spends his off-duty hours trying
to find missing kids, using the internet.
Scott Davis is that deputy. His mentor is John Walsh, the host of
"America's Most Wanted." And his passion is his world wide web show: The
Missing.
"Just one person is all it takes to find a child and bring him home
safely," Davis said.
On the job, Deputy Davis is the Sex Offender Registry Compliance
Officer. He feels that role helps him protect children, something his
web show does too.
He's featured about 100 missing children on a program that's
different from an Amber Alert.
"Once an Amber Alert is issued it puts everyone on high alert for 2
or 3 days," Davis explained. "But as the case begins to grow colder then
my show kind of kicks in and helps me keep that child's face out
there."
Deputy Davis transformed his garage at home into a studio. Green
screen technology provides a virtual set. He edits the shows and posts
them on his website.

"I'm just a country boy living in Crossville in Cumberland County.
I'm shooting this in my garage. And for someone to write me from
Australia ot Europe or Mexico or the United States
saying can you please help me, it's very humbling," he said.
A picture on a milk carton used to be the way to spread information
about missing children. Now the internet can put that picture in front
of more people.
For example, a flier for a missing Crossville teen will reach across
the world when Davis features it on The Missing.
"Karly Christine Turner, 15 years old, She's classified as an
endangered runaway," he read from the flier.
In his second year on the web, Davis hopes to post more video
testimony from families.
"If I can provide people a better quality show we're going to get
more viewers of the content," he said.
He knows one viewer recognizing one face can be enough to get a
missing child back home.
