In the final episode of this series, Karen speaks with Suzannah Drury of charity Missing People UK.
Often it can be seen as the end of the story when a missing person is returned, but that’s far from the truth as we find out. Suzannah explains how vital it is that returned persons and their loved ones are able to access the right support in order that they can reintegrate with life and move past the underlying issues that caused the missing episode.
She and Karen discuss how people are found, as well as the absence of after-support for adults, and pioneering schemes that could challenge this problem.

29 min - How the Media and Publicity Can Help Find Missing People ft. John Bischoff
You might have seen “Missing Person” billboards and posters, but there’s a lot more to using publicity in order to seek people who have disappeared.
John Bischoff is Vice-President for the Missing Children Division of the National Center For Missing Exploited Children (NCMEC). He talks with Karen and Caroline about the relationships they’ve established to help make publicity campaigns successful.
They discuss the importance of media campaigns to gather information from a community and to empower worried families and loved ones in the search. In addition to the power of posters, John explains how information databases and analytics services can provide non-profit support in spreading a message, in addition to social media platforms and community alerts.
He also talks about the particular challenges of running campaigns across a nation as big as the United States, and why this can be so powerful in safely finding missing people.
And when someone is found? The care this media team offers stretches to respecting and protecting the privacy of an individual so they can continue with their lives and move on.
