ANXIETY, worry and fear are feelings that families of missing people know all too well.

When a loved one goes missing the confusion and yearning to know what happened and where they are can be overwhelming.

Fortunately, most missing persons cases are solved quickly, but some families can go weeks, months or even years not knowing what happened to their loved one.

Missing People is a charity that searches for missing people on behalf of the friends and family left behind and provides specialised support to ease their heartache and confusion.

Their website lists everyone that has been reported and remains missing, including a picture, age and where they are from.
