What constitutes why some missing persons cases get attention? What are the criteria for a case making national news? And why doesn’t EVERY case receive the same coverage?
In our final episode of the series we explore the issue of equality - and ask whether your background or the colour of your skin can influence how your case is reported and investigated.
At a time when the subject of race and equality is being discussed in relation to missing persons, we shine a light on why some cases fade into the background, and ask what can be done to make a change.
