About
About TrackWanted
An independent, free reader that puts public records and open-source reporting on one 3D globe — no account, no tracking of you.
What this site is
TrackWanted collects information that is already public — government wanted notices, aircraft registration registers, published reporting on large money movements and open emissions datasets — and presents it on a single map-based interface with plain-language context. Everything on the site is free to read and no sign-up exists.
Who runs it
TrackWanted is an independently operated hobby project, run and funded by one person and supported by advertising. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or acting on behalf of any government, law-enforcement body, airline or the individuals shown on the boards.
Where the data comes from
- Public wanted notices and sanctions listings published by national agencies.
- Public civil aircraft registers and open aircraft-registration datasets.
- Published journalism and public filings for the money-trail entries.
- Open emissions and air-quality datasets for the carbon estimates.
Aircraft motion shown on the globe is simulated telemetry on realistic schedules, not a live radar feed. Wanted-board locations are estimates drawn from public reporting and are always shown with their uncertainty. Nothing here is a claim about where a specific person is right now. Read the methodology page for the full detail.
