Derek Carr can throw touchdowns, drain 3-pointers and — perhaps most importantly — assist authorities locate missing children.
The Raiders quarterback did just that, indirectly, with the power of social media.
On Friday, Carr retweeted a post by Oakland Police Department Lt. Chris Bolton sharing details about a missing 3-year-old.
Carr thus included his 246,000 Twitter followers in the circle of knowledge about the situation. Come Saturday, Bolton wrote that the child had been found — and Carr was “the secret” to locating the missing child.
@OPDChris great news!
