AMAP – A Matter of Perception
(Applied Missing Analysis Project)​

Purpose
When a person goes missing, time, terrain, and direction are critical.

AMAP, originally developed under A Matter of Perception, is an independent, pattern-based analytical study focused on identifying directional and distance correlations in missing person and fugitive cases where remains have been recovered.
​
The objective is to determine whether measurable relationships exist between:
  • Point of Disappearance (POD) 
  • Point of Recovery (POR) 
  • Compass bearing and distance between those points 
…and whether those relationships can assist in narrowing search areas in active cases.​

​Method Overview

AMAP analyzes solved cases using a structured, measurement-based process:
  • The direct distance and compass bearing are calculated from the Point of Disappearance (POD) to the Point of Recovery (POR) 
  • The celestial positions of major planetary bodies are recorded for the date and location of disappearance 
  • These datasets are evaluated within a unified coordinate framework 

To standardize comparison:
  • Planetary positions are expressed in 360° celestial longitude 
  • These positions are mapped directionally onto a 360° terrestrial compass system 
  • Angular relationships (0°, 90°, 180°, etc.) are evaluated against observed recovery bearings 

​This framework enables consistent comparison between:
  • Celestial geometry (angular relationships) 
  • Terrestrial outcomes (direction and distance) 

​Observed Pattern Behavior

Across more than 300 analyzed cases, consistent directional and distance patterns have been observed.

Key observations include:
  • Recovery locations frequently align along specific compass bearings corresponding to angular planetary relationships present at the time of disappearance 
  • These alignments most commonly occur at primary geometric angles (0°, 90°, 180°) 
  • Distance ranges often fall within repeatable numeric values derived from planetary positional measurements 

These observations are based on documented case data and measured outcomes.

AMAP does not assert causation.

​The study identifies repeatable geometric correlations between:
  • Recorded planetary configurations at the time of disappearance 
  • Measured direction and distance to recovery locations 

​Cases that do not conform to these patterns are retained and reviewed, as they may indicate:
  • Incomplete or evolving case data 
  • Additional environmental or situational variables 
  • Opportunities for further refinement of the method ​

Example of observed directional alignment in a known U.S. case:

Adam John Walsh - DOB: November 14th 1974

Measurement from POD to POR 
  • Found 109 direct miles in a correlation with Mercurys' measurement at 110° and at a N by E compass bearing of 345° in a correlation with a 90° Square angle to the Moon Neptune Oppositon.

​Point of Disappearance / Recovery and Circumstances of the Adam Walsh case

Six year old Adam Walsh was last seen at the Sears Mall located at S Park Road in Hollywood, Florida on July 27, 1981 at 12:15 PM. His mom went to price a lamp while Adam played at an Atari 2600 Video Game kiosk display.  On August 10, 1981 Adams' skull was discovered by fishermen in a drainage canal alongside the Florida Turnpike in Vero Beach, Florida. 

I
n December of 2008 Law Enforcement closed the case satisfied that Ottis Elwood Toole (born March 5th, 1947 in Jacksonville, Florida - Died 9/15/96 in Raiford, Florida) was responsible for Adam's murder. Toole had confessed to stopping with Adam Walsh just north of the Radebaugh Road overpass of the Florida Turnpike.  I

​Supporting Context (Environmental Systems)

In the 1940s, radio engineer John Nelson identified that radio interference patterns could be predicted based on planetary angular relationships to the Sun.
This demonstrated that:
  • Large-scale environmental systems can exhibit measurable responses to geometric configurations within the solar system 
  • These responses can directly impact real-world operations, including military radio communications 
  • AMAP does not rely on this finding as proof.
It provides precedent that geometric relationships can correlate with measurable system behavior, supporting the investigation of similar correlations in spatial outcomes.

​Scope of Study

  • ​300+ total analyzed cases 
  • 160+ child cases 
  • 110+ adult cases 
Data sources include:
  • Law enforcement releases 
  • News reporting 
  • Missing persons databases 
  • Case-related correspondence 
Only cases with publicly available POD and POR data are included.
No cases are excluded based on outcome.

​Application in Active Cases

​AMAP is designed to function as a supplemental analytical tool.
It does not replace:
  • Investigative procedure 
  • Evidence-based policing 
  • Search and rescue protocol 
It may assist by:
  • Identifying directional priorities 
  • Suggesting distance ranges for search expansion 
  • Providing additional spatial context during search planning 
All results are intended to be used alongside standard investigative methods and due diligence.

Mapping System

AMAP utilizes interactive mapping tools to visualize:
  • Point of Disappearance (POD) 
  • Point of Recovery (POR) 
  • Measured bearing and distance 
  • Corresponding geometric alignments 
Mapping system includes:
  • Google Maps integration 
  • 24/7 accessibility 
  • Case-specific overlays 
Color Key:
  • 🔴 Red Target: Point of Disappearance 
  • ⚪ White Bullseye Marker: Point of Recovery 

​Availability & Access

​AMAP has been utilized by:
  • Private Investigators 
  • Bail Bond Services 
  • Search and Rescue Teams 
  • Law Enforcement Personnel 
  • Families conducting active searches 
  • Child cases (under 18): No cost 
  • Adult case consultations: $60 initial review 
  • Full mapping analysis: $360 (applied from consultation) 
Each case is reviewed individually to determine whether analysis is applicable.

​Important Clarification

AMAP does not claim:
  • Predictive certainty 
  • Causation between planetary motion and human events 
AMAP identifies:
  • Repeatable geometric correlations that may assist in directional and distance-based search considerations

A mention of our efforts in the Toni Marie Anderson case out of Kansas City, Missouri appeared in this FOX NEWS segment. 
Interactive Map for whereabouts begin with a Missing Person Consult.  We are not sure if we can help until we know the point of disappearance details in terms of dates, times and location; as well as the exact birth details of missing.
