Richard Berrelez and Leticia incorporated The ALIE Foundation on the
10th of June 1993 in memory of Alie Berrelez to express their great
love for Alie and protect children from abduction and prevent parents
from going through the painful experience of losing a child. Alie was
only 5 years old and had been looking forward to starting school in the
year of her abduction. She had a close loving relationship with Richard
and Letizia. Richard has been a public speaker for 25 years and is
available for speaking engagements. Please submit your request a month
in advance. Remember to support your local police department for safer
streets and crime free communities.
A Visit To America's Most Wanted
Letizia wanted Alie's family to donate one bloodhound to a police department in Colorado that would always be available for missing children cases. She asked Richard to take on this project and see it through. Letizia's concern would be the beginning of the Alie Bloodhound Project. Today over 180 bloodhounds have been placed in police departments. Bloodhound Alie Adam came from this project to help locate missing children. He was named Adam to honor Adam Walsh son of John Walsh from America's Most Wanted. Adam was featured along with the ALIE Foundation on five episodes of AMW and served as a Police K-9 in the Montgomery County Police Department in Maryland. Donate Online
Frontier Airlines Support
The Alie Bloodhounds have been placed in more than forty-five states. In the early years several of the dogs were personally delivered by car to their destination. Frontier Airlines has been very supportive in the transportation of The ALIE Bloodhounds for police search and rescue. The dogs have been flown in the cabin and cargo with no complications. The dogs arrive excited and extremely happy. Wyatt is the latest bloodhound to be transported on Frontier Airlines from Denver to Phoenix. Thanks to Frontier Airlines, the pilots, and the flight Attendants for their great service. Frontier Airlines
