Can you help find ‘The Missing?’ Hosted by journalist Pandora Sykes.
‘The Missing’ is a returning podcast that looks into the cases of the long-term missing and asks you, the listener, to help.
Brought to you in association with charities Locate International and Missing People, every week we explore a different case, hear original interviews with family and friends, and ask the questions that need to be answered. Where did they go? What happened to them? And does anyone listening have any information? In the UK alone, a person is reported missing every 90 seconds. In this series, we ask you to become part of the search. With your help, some of these cases could be solved.

Jigsaw - The Baldock Woman
In this episode, many of the clues have already been unearthed... but the mystery remains. Can you help put these pieces of the Jigsaw together?
We have a young woman, likely to be French. And we have a name, which could have several different spellings. We have locations, friends, and even the name of someone she used to stay with.
And yet - a woman found dead on the A1 motorway near Baldock is still unidentified. Someone, somewhere is likely wondering what happened to her. Perhaps they are actively searching for their missing friend or loved one.
Jigsaw is a podcast series from What's The Story - brought to you in association with Locate International. There are more than 1,000 unidentified bodies in the UK. All of them could be mothers or fathers, sons or daughters. Their lives have been cut short - but without an ending. Can you help reunite these people with their name?
If you want to contribute to the search then join the discussion. Locate International have set up an online forum. Visit https://forum.locate.international and share your ideas and theories with real investigators and fellow listeners.
We have ten episodes of Jigsaw for you to listen to, with a brand new episode every Wednesday. And we'll be back with more episodes of The Missing later in 2024.

Jigsaw - The Mile End Man
With every unidentified body there are some clues which point towards possible answers. All too often these can lead to questions, was the person employed, were they perhaps living rough, or alone. But then there are cases which carry multiple surprises. Even though the Mile End Man died more than half a century ago - there are clues in his case which investigators believe could provide answers.
As you listen to this episode, think about whether you can provide the missing link, which can help to identify him. Will you recognise his possessions? Or perhaps his clothing? Perhaps you have links to the areas of London it's thought he frequented. A middle aged, handsome and well-dressed man who suffered an early death - and whose story is still not complete.

Jigsaw - The Waltham Forest Man
When a man is struck by a car and killed, in front of on-lookers, it's assumed that within a few hours his next of kin will be informed.
But in this case - police are unable to work out who the man might be. They receive a possible address... discover that he's a regular in one of the local pubs, and even recover a mobile phone from his pocket. The police are even provided a name for their mystery man, and a recent photograph of him. And yet - no loved ones, no friends or family, are located.

Jigsaw - The River Lune Man
When a body is found on the salt marshes on the River Lune estuary, in 2015, there are many questions which begin to be asked. Who is he? How did he arrive here? How long has he been here?
While those questions continue to be asked today - there are other questions too... Why was he carrying clippings from a magazine published more than a decade earlier? And did some scribblings in his possession indicate some kind of code, or secret message?
The mystery of The River Lune man has remained unsolved for nearly ten years. But investigators believe that the many clues found on his person could lead ot him being identified. Do you recognise his clothing? Do you know anything about how or why a body might arrive here? And can you make sense of the items found on his person?

Customer Reviews
Great show, lots of adverts!
Great show but lots of adverts make it a difficult listen if you can't fast forward
Compelling
Compelling series that I have binged listened to and been thoroughly gripped. My only gripe is why Pandora insists on using the word ‘gotten’ in every episode. Why she ruins her beautifully curated narration with this word baffles me. It’s not appropriate for a serious subject and cheapens the production.
Slickchic
I read people moaning on here about having to pay for more episodes and how it’s not good for the family’s of the missing , rubbish I’m confident that should any news arise from the use of this channel they’ll be the first to no . People are soar because they don’t want to pay , yet why shouldnt you ? It’s not free for people to run podcasts, everything costs money . Do what I do if you can’t afford and simply listen to something else until they free , just means waiting a little longer which is absolutely no biggy infact it’s something to look forward too ✌🏽.
