Lachlan is also listed on the websites of the Children's Rights Network in Japan, the Children's Rights Council of Japan, For the Lost, and CourtTV.

Lachlan was one of several missing children featured on Briny Baird's golf bags during tournaments back in 2004. (For more details see http://www.csrwire.com/PressReleasePrint.php?id=2369.)

Unfortunately I cannot find a poster for Lachlan. He seems to have been listed by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at some point, but perhaps his poster has been taken down from the website.
