MISSING: Runaway Train Kids

In honor of this past National Missing Persons Day, Ashley and Brit are going to take turns telling you the stories of seven missing kids that all have a certain connection. These are the stories of 7 out of 36 missing kids that are featured in the 1993 music video for the song Runaway Train by Soul Asylum. A majority of those cases have been resolved thanks to that video, but that means there are still too many left that need your attention – and maybe someone, somewhere out there holds the key to solving their cases.

Don’t forget to tune into The Deck and Dark Downeast this week to hear the remaining two stories of those highlighted in Soul Asylum’s music video!
