In this episode, we bring you the sad story of Jaime Cheesman, a sixteen year old girl from Wellingborough who was last seen in Grimsby in November 1993, over thirty years ago. 

Jaime was a fiercely independent teenager who decided to leave the home she shared with her father Eric and mother Barbara and move in with a friend of hers in Grimsby before she was even old enough to vote. 

This episode hears from Jaime’s father Eric. Eric is now in his eighties. He understands the chances of him learning what became of Jaime are becoming less and less likely as the years pass, but like all families of missing people, he can’t help but hold onto a sliver of hope.

In this episode we bring you the odd case of Paul Carter, who disappeared during an overnight ferry crossing from Portsmouth to Brittany in April 2007. 

It wasn’t Paul’s first time making the trip to the port of Saint-Malo. He’d made the journey several times before for work reasons and was travelling with three colleagues on the night in question. He was last seen at around midnight but by the time the ferry docked the following morning, he had vanished without a trace. 

This episode hears from Paul’s mother Theresa. She explains how Paul’s disappearance created a bureaucratic nightmare, where the British police, the French authorities and the ferry operators all refused to take responsibility for his recovery, each pointing the finger at one another. Despite the lack of official support, Theresa has refused to give up hope and seventeen years later, she’s as determined as ever to solve the mystery of what happened to Paul.

In this episode we tell the story of Dean Roche, whose unexplained disappearance in Kilkenny, Ireland, has haunted his friends and family for the better part of a decade. 

Dean, 31, was very much at a crossroads in his life. He had a storied history of drug abuse and his habit had landed him in prison on several occasions but he very much wanted to turn things around. He had people in his life who depended on him, like his mother Geraldine and his son, Jamie but he was also his own worst enemy and frequently allowed himself to get into scenarios that made being someone they could rely on impossible. 

This episode hears from Dean’s friend Damien. The pair grew up together and were very close in their teenage years. Circumstances however, eventually caused them to drift apart. Damien brings us through the bizarre circumstances of Dean’s disappearance and explains why a promise made to Dean’s mother on her deathbed, means he’ll never stop searching for his friend.

In this episode, we cover the unusual case of Mark Palmer, a construction worker from Bedfordshire, who vanished in 2019 whilst working overseas in the town of Ontinyent, Spain. 

Mark was last seen by his colleagues at 10:30am on the morning of April 27th, a Saturday. Mark had a history of going AWOL for up to 24 hours at a time, so when he failed to return on Sunday, they weren’t immediately concerned. By the time Monday rolled round, there was still no sign of him, so they called the police. 

This episode hears from Mark’s sister Claire, who explains her brother’s long history of mental health issues and how they may have played a factor in his disappearance. She talks about travelling to Spain with her husband and the rest of Mark’s family and how within a matter of hours she went from studying for a PHD, to coordinating a sprawling search effort with dozens of volunteers.

In this episode, we examine the strange case of Cathryn Holdsworth, a 72 year old woman from Illingford, Halifax, who was last seen in her local supermarket on September 9th, 2017 and has been missing ever since. 

Cathryn’s disappearance was reported by her neighbour Martina, who after speaking with the police, used the spare key Cathryn had left with her to enter her home. Martina and her husband searched it from top to bottom and soon realised that not only was Martina there, no one had been for some time. 

This episode hears from Martina, as well as Holly Lynch, former MP for Halifax, who was Cathryn’s local representative back in 2017. Holly took a personal interest in Cathryn’s case and the issue of older, vulnerable people in her community in general. In 2023, Holly brought  Cathryn’s story to Westminster, highlighting her disappearance during a debate in Westminster Hall.

Welcome back to the eighth and final season of The Missing in its current form. Our first episode tells the tragic story of Rodrigo Falcon, who vanished from the picturesque Scottish town of Aviemore, in December 2022. 

Rodrigo was originally from Argentina. He loved travel and adventure and these interests brought him to Aviemore, whose lakes and mountains attract thousands of tourists every year. Rodrigo was a keen skier and for a while worked at Cairngorm Mountain, a ski resort 11 miles outside of town, before eventually getting a gig pulling pints at a bar called the Pine Marten. 

This episode hears from Katie Jahacy, co-owner of the Pine Marten and Rodrigo’s close friend. Katie brings us through the events leading up to Rodrigo’s disappearance and its aftermath, highlighting the outpouring of grief from the inhabitants of Aviemore that resulted. They came together in huge numbers to try and locate the man who had brought such joy to their lives, someone many of them considered a ‘brother.’

The Missing is back and the first two episodes of our new season will be released on Wednesday the 4th of December. 

The Missing released its first episode in December 2020. In the four years since, we’ve covered more than seventy missing person cases, across the UK and Ireland. 

In the course of our work, we’ve spoken to hundreds of parents, spouses, sons, daughters and friends, whose brave and unvarnished testimonies have shone a light on a grim phenomenon that more often than not, is underreported in our communities. 

Their stories have taken us everywhere from the controlled chaos of London’s busiest boroughs, to the quiet and lonely peaks of the Scottish highlands…We’ve been brought along on voyages of discovery in the Canadian wilderness, navigated the Caribbean by catamaran and even undertaken pilgrimages to the holiest sites of mainland Europe. 

All of this is to say, that of the 170,000 people who vanish in the United Kingdom every year, no two missing person cases are the same. So join us for the final series of The Missing UK - in its current form - as we highlight seven missing person cases that need your help and revisit some of the most impactful stories we’ve covered since the show first began. 

The vast majority of missing people are found within 48 hours of their disappearance but some go on to become what’s described as the long term missing. This podcast, made in collaboration with the charities Missing People and Locate international, is about them.

In this episode we cover the unsolved disappearance of Guy Pyke, a seventy year old retiree from upstate New York, who vanished, along with his beloved Chevy Blazer, almost twenty-five years ago. 

Guy was last seen by his wife of 49 years, Arline, when he left their home on Aitchison Road in the village of Evans Mills. Guy took off at around 3pm on the afternoon of April 2nd, 1999, with the intention of visiting family based in Watertown, about seventy miles away. No one has seen him since. 

This episode hears from Jennifer, Guy’s granddaughter. She illustrates how big a presence Guy was in her life and the impact his absence has had on both her and the wider Pyke family. In the months leading up to his disappearance, Guy had begun to exhibit symptoms of dementia. He would get confused and forget where he was, sometimes whilst out driving and had gone missing for several days on more than one occasion. Jennifer walks us through her grandfather’s last known movements, underlines the various theories put forward about what may have happened on that fateful day and brings us up to speed with her own decade long search for the truth.

In this episode we explore the strange disappearance of Phoenix Coldon, a 23 year old woman who was last seen driving away from her family home in Spanish Lake, Missouri, on a cold December afternoon, over a decade ago. 

Her whole life, Phoenix had been a model student as well as a talented musician and a decorated athlete to boot. She was raised by her loving parents Goldia and Lawrence, who sounded the alarm when Phoenix failed to return home without informing them of her plans, something very out of character for her. Phoenix’s vehicle was discovered mere hours after her disappearance, found abandoned at an intersection in East St Louis. No one has seen her ever since. As the investigation unfolded and police began speaking to Phoenix’s friends and family, it emerged that her personal life had been pretty turbulent in the months leading up to December 18th, 2011, the day she was last seen. Revelations about her romantic life and more importantly, her parentage, triggered some difficult conversations and left her in a vulnerable state. 

This episode hears from Claudia, Phoenix’s half-sister. She and Phoenix went their whole lives unaware of each other’s existence. In fact it wasn’t until a detective reached out to Claudia asking if she’d heard from Phoenix, that she learned she had a sister in the first place. Claudia walks us through the emotional whiplash of learning you have a sibling you never knew about, only to find out seconds later that they’re missing and explains how reading up on Phoenix’s case and doing some digging of her own, led her down a rabbit hole of discovery and intrigue, whose mysteries puzzle her to this day.
