The More You Know: What's a Mattie's Call?

Patch finds out the difference between emergency alerts and how they are used.

Someone is missing, and police send out a "Mattie's Call". But what is a Mattie’s Call? How does it differ from a Levi’s Call and how do police know when to issue one? Patch caught up with Cobb police spokesman Michael Smith to learn more. He explained that there are different criteria for the two alerts. “The state—and it’s not just Georgia—has set it so the system isn’t overly used,” Smith said. “When we use it, we want people to pay attention and as with anything else, if you get too much of it and it’s not pertinent information, people start ignoring it. That’s what we don’t want from any of those things.” Get word of Mattie's Calls and Levi's Calls in your email when you sign up for Nixle alerts. Here's a link to sign up.  Here’s how …

Updated: West Cobb Teen Found Safe

Maggie Adams, 16, had been missing for two weeks.

Maggie Adams, 16, was last seen April 10 at her high school, Cobb Performing Learning Center on Joyner Avenue in Marietta.

A West Cobb family is asking for help in finding their missing teenager. “We’re concerned for her safety,” said Sally Miller, mother of 16-year-old Maggie Adams. Adams has been missing since April 10, when she was last seen at her high school, Cobb Performing Learning Center on Joyner Avenue in Marietta.

Authorities searched Friday for the body of a person missing since 2004 after a tip out of Florida.

Cobb County police received a tip last week that they’d find a body just south of McEachern High next to a garage in the Powder Springs area, and a cadaver dog seemed to verify the claim. But as authorities dug and dug Friday next to the detached garage on New Macland Road, they found nothing, Cobb County police spokesman Sgt. Dana Pierce said. “There’s nothing that panned out other than a dog hitting on that spot,” he said. “If truly there was a body there at some point, it’s not there now.” Cobb police were searching for the body of a person missing since 2004. The case stems from a police agency in Florida, which is where the tip came from, and local authorities checked for the body to help the Florida agency, Pierce said. Because that …
