Who Is Affected When Someone Goes Missing? Ft. Dr. Sarah Wayland & Loren O’Keefe

What happens when someone you love goes missing? How do you move forward if they’re not found? And how does this impact families and relationships?

In this episode we look at the realities of what it means to work with police and media, campaign to find your loved one and navigate your life whilst nothing feels normal.

Karen speaks with Dr. Sarah Wayland of the Australian Federal Police and Loren O’Keefe, whose younger brother Dan, went missing in 2011.

Loren shares her personal experiences of searching for her brother for 5 years before his body was found, which led her to set up the Missing Persons Advocacy Network (MPAN).

Sarah explains the missing persons process in Australia and highlights inequalities and vulnerabilities for First Nations communities. She explores whether the idea of ‘hope’ can be helpful or damaging to relatives who have to balance this with feelings of grief, loss and trauma.

Loren is keen that families and loved ones who are living with the uncertainty of a missing person are able to access and learn about services. You can find out more at MPAN on their website and Twitter.

We want you to share knowledge and empower conversations to help tackle the missing persons crisis. Find out more about all of our guests and the Missing Persons Uncovered project and find links to support on the website missingpersonsuncovered.com
