The Missing
(What’s The Story? Sounds)
Journalist Pandora Sykes examines missing persons cases, talking to the families and friends of those involved.
The cases discussed include the disappearance of Suzy Lamplugh – one of the UK’S most highprofile cold cases – and that of Lana Purcell, a single mother who disappeared from north London in 2011. In the UK, a person is reported missing every 90 seconds, and this pod has been created in collaboration with UK charity Missing People and Locate International, an organisation made up of former detectives dedicated to helping families find their loved ones. It explores all potential outcomes for each case and gives listeners the opportunity to help. Pandora’s storytelling, partnered with interviews with those closest to the missing individuals, makes it a thought-provoking series. ★★★★
