  • Date of birth and age at the time they disappeared.
  • Gender/sex.
  • Detailed physical description (including unique scars or tattoos).
  • Date of disappearance.
  • Medical conditions.

Utah officials also suggest taking notes on interactions with law enforcement to keep track of details such as officer names, dates and times of interactions, the case number and what the officers say.
