Missing Persons Uncovered

In the age of satellite imagery, CCTV monitoring and 24- hour surveillance, why are so many people going missing? And where have they gone?

Missing Persons Uncovered gets beneath the surface of an emergency nations are facing across the world. Every year 155,000 people go missing in theUK alone. What does it mean to go missing? Why do some people make the choice to disappear? And how can we protect our vulnerable loved ones better?

Caroline Humer and Karen Shalev Greene set out to hear first-hand experiences of those who have experienced missing persons cases, seeking the people behind the statistics. Listen in on revealing conversations with professionals and practitioners who are working to challenge myths and raise awareness around this much misunderstood social and personal issue.

Combining Caroline’s 20 years of experience working as a child protection expert with Karen’s 12-year academic mission to understand the world of missing persons and their protection, the team invites you to join them in sharing knowledge on how we can protect society’s most vulnerable people.
