Reporter but the iteam has learned safe horizon, the company paid to connect missing crime victims with the cash their owed, doesnt take one of the most basic steps to locate their names, even though theyre considered not locatable. The agency will not provide records related to uncollected restitution because they must maintain confidentiality around the names of the victims. Jennifer marin doesnt understand why the city would keep the names of missing beneficiaries private.

In one email, a spokesperson said safe horizon does not track the number of beneficiaries or victims that cannot be located at a given time. A mayor spokesperson said these are records the Mayors Office simply doesnt have. Then moments later, a spokesperson said the Mayors Office and safe horizon know how many people are owed money, but reporter a Community Advocate who sometimes works with crime victims suggested the Mayors Office should at least create a searchable database where crime victims can type in their names. Both the city and state comptroller offices have searchable unclaimed funds cases.
