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. 

In 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.
