Description

'The hairs stand up on the back of my neck or a shiver runs down my spine when I spot something that could lead us to the missing.

Or, I fear the worst, and my heart sinks as I think of the family and friends left behind.'

Every 90 seconds in the UK, a missing person is reported to the police. A pioneer in the field with experience spanning four decades, Charlie Hedge's job is to work out the best way to find them. What's going on in their life When were they last seen What makes them vulnerable

Have they chosen to go missing or is someone else involved

With no two cases ever the same, Charlie has been involved in some of the most high-profile reports during his career with the police and as a consultant in missing cases. From the evil of abductions and trafficking to the tragic accidents of the vulnerable, Charlie has seen into every corner of modern life. With 350,000 missing person reports filed every year, Charlie has dedicated his life to developing the ways we help not just the missing, but the families and loved ones often left behind.

Unique and fascinating, Missing tells the untold story of finding those who desperately need to be found and the cases that never leave you.
