Saving Lives

Two years ago Detective Inspector Glen Brown established the NSW Police Missing Persons Registry, revolutionising the way police investigate missing persons cases. I speak to Glen about the stunning success of the Registry, and how police are now not only finding people who disappear faster, but also saving the lives of people who are vulnerable by using the latest technologies to locate them before it's too late. Please note: this is an older episode of The Missing from a few years ago. The audio quality is better in series 2 (from June 2023), but the content and story is just as important.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Someone, somewhere, knows something. Almost 38,000 missing people are reported to police every year in Australia; that’s one every 14 minutes. Some do not return home. For their families, it’s a never-ending nightmare. For police, the search for answers can sometimes last for decades. The Missing Australia exists to change this. Presented by former police officer Meni Caroutas, it aims to break new ground on these cold cases – because there’s always someone out there who knows what happened to a missing person. The challenge is to find them.
