Missing Live On BBC One
Each year, more than 200,000 people are reported missing in the UK.
For four weeks, Missing Live will follow the work of the police and the charity, Missing People, as they attempt to discover the whereabouts of just some of those who have disappeared.
Missing Live is presented by Louise Minchin (BBC Breakfast) and Rav Wilding (former Metropolitan Police Detective and Crimewatch presenter).
Using filmed reconstructions of individual cases alongside live studio interviews with friends and family, Missing Live reveals the true-life drama of missing persons investigations as they unfold. The series also helps to re-unite people who have been missing – sometimes for years – with their loved ones.
Broadcast live every weekday for a month, each programme offers the opportunity to report on the latest missing person investigations, as well as providing information and regular updates on long-standing cases that remain unsolved. Viewers can also contact the programme, the Missing People charity and the police by phone and email to help solve cases.
Throughout the series, the programmes explore and discuss the reasons why people go missing and look at the ground-breaking technology and techniques used to help find those who have disappeared – from age-progression techniques to behavioural-recognition cameras.
Cases featured this week include that of two-year-old Katrice Lee, who went missing in 1981 in Germany where her father was stationed with the Armed Forces. She disappeared during a shopping trip with her family and has not been seen since.
Luke Durbin, aged 19, went missing in May 2006 after a night out with a friend in Ipswich. The last sighting of him was on CCTV later that night and, since then, there have been no confirmed sightings.
Alex Morris went missing at Christmas in 2003 and his family did not hear from him for four years. But eventually, with the help of Missing People, he was found and re-united with his family last year.
Missing Live is based on the previous BBC Daytime series, Missing.

I was just wondering if science reconstruction can age a face have they ever done it in reverse as “David” the man with no identity it could really help.
Can Rav Wilding please learn to use verbs in the right tense. This is borderline pidgin English
I would like informationon how to trace my birth fathers family.I have dates and names,I know they come from Falkirk in Scotland, but don’t know how to take it further.Can Gill Whitley help?Many thanks,Lynn.
I am rather disappointed in this site.As the BBC constantly mentioned it on Missing Live I expected a more informative site.It has not even been updated since the first day of the programme four weeks ago !Also now that the series has finished why don’t you put a complete list of missing people featured on the site.I would find it difficult to put a name to a face if I thought I recognised anyone but if there was a photo and name it wouldbe easy to check.Finally do we have to wait til the next series next spring to find out if any more have been found? I was particularly touched by the story of Andrew Gosden,as I’m sure most people were and would love to know if he returns to his family.
Re the man looking in Bethnal Green for a Mrs Chumley who rescued him, has he tried post office or commercial directories for an address at the time, or electoral registers? Phone books?
yesterday on gmtv, they had a news thing about trains, on the clip i thought that i saw andrew gosden in the back ground, it might not be him but it is worth you looking at the clip just in case.
