LOS ANGELES, CA (September 22, 2006) --- GINA for Missing Persons, the internationally acclaimed concert series to raise awareness for those who go missing every year, announces The Squeaky Wheel Tour, October 17-November 4,2006. This world-wide tour will feature

several hundred artists performing in 150 events throughout 50 states and eight countries. The focus of the events is to gain attention for over 150 missing people in the effort to bring at least ONE home.

The international "Squeaky Wheel Tour" honors Gina 80S, who disappeared from Lincoln , Nebraska six years ago. The 19-day tour is the creation of her sister, Jannel Rap, who developed the GINA Concert Series in 2001 bringing together recording artists from all over the U.S. to obtain attention for ALL people who are missing. Every missing child, every missing adult is an important missing person. When loved ones disappear, their family members' lives are devastated. A large part of their lives have been carved out, snatched away, and their only focus is to have their missing loved ones returned.

"Each missing person's story is unique, important and as valuable as the next," said Rap. "If someone took your child or your sister or brother, what would you do? Would you pull down the moon? Would you look under the rock? Would you scream as loud as you could?"

"Would you become the Squeaky Wheel?" added Rap.

"The Squeaky Wheel Tour" will have its kick-off event in Lincoln , Nebraska on October 16-17,2006 and officially conclude with an event in Little Rock , Arkansas on November 4. In addition, pre- and post-"Squeaky" events will take place starting September 6 with a Webcast concert featuring GINA/LA Women in Music 2006 Contest Winners in Hollywood , CA . A list of the musical artists, locations, and dates are outlined on the following page. This list is also posted at www.411Gina.org and is updated daily.

About GINA for Missing Persons

ABOUT GINA: Singer/songwriter Jannel Rap's sister, Gina Bos, disappeared on October 17, 2000. Gina's story had no scandal, no suspects and lacked the hook and intrigue to get the attention of the national public. Gina had simply vanished after performing at a pub in Lincoln , NE. Six months of slamming doors inspired Jannel into action...and the concept of using entertainment to get attention for the missing was born.

In 2001, Jannel organized a concert series in honor of her sister, called The GINA Sessions, sponsored by GINA for Missing Persons. The series brings together recording artists from all over the country in an effort to raise awareness of all the mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and children who go missing every year. In addition, through GINA (www.411Gina.org) Jannel has produced a television series called America Lost and FOUND, and now hosts a monthly international webcast featuring missing persons from around the globe.
