LexisNexis® ADAMSM Program Helps Recover 109 Missing Children

NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
LexisNexis Risk & Information Analytics Group through an alliance with the
National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) announced the recovery
of additional missing children via the ADAMSM (Automated Delivery of Alerts on
Missing Children) Program. This brings the total number of children recovered by
the ADAM program to 109. The program was named in honor of Adam Walsh, whose
kidnapping and murder brought the issue of child abduction to national attention
more than 20 years ago.

In one of the most recent cases the ADAM program has helped solve: A six month
old baby was taken from his home in Nevada, MO on April 17, 2008 by a
non-custodial parent. After obtaining all the necessary documentation, NCMEC
created a poster of the child on April 23, 2009. With the immediate concern
being that the child may be taken from the U.S., an ADAM Broadcast fax was sent
to a 40 mile radius of Joplin, MO the same day the poster was created. As a
direct result of the ADAM Broadcast, a tip from a shelter in Joplin was called
in to law enforcement and the child was recovered on April 27, 2009.

Consisting of geographically targeted missing child alerts, ADAM is one of
several programs supported by LexisNexis to help respond to and prevent child
abductions. In eight years of its affiliation with NCMEC and through its online
research capabilities, the company has contributed to the resolution of
thousands of cases of missing children. Businesses or other organizations
