Trivia

The photo of the missing person on the milk carton is a reference to a method that was used in real life to put pictures of missing children on milk cartons so when someone saw them, one could call the authorities to notify. That method was used and started somewhere in December 1984 or January 1985 and was abandoned in 1996 for having little success and scaring the children who saw the photos of the missing children on the milk cartons every morning, see the Wikipedia article for more information.
