Awhile back, I acquired 4 dvd's of a British missing persons show called "Missing" and wanted to profile those people here.

Steven Cook ~ 20 year old English college student who disappeared while vacationing with buddies in Crete. There was some speculation he may be still be alive and unaware of his identity and living among the homeless there.

Michael Forrest ~ 63 year old man believed to be suffering from dementia disappears after visiting a shopping mall.

Andrew Gosden ~ 14 year old boy who disappeared one morning before school. He apparently returned home after his parents left for work, changed clothes, withdrew some money from a Cashpoint (ATM), and boarded a train. CCTV footage spotted him at King's Cross, and he went missing from there.

Ben Needham ~ 21 month old English boy disappeared while vacationing with his parents in the Greek island of Kos. His mother left him in the care of other relatives while she went to work. Occuring in 1991, it is one of the oldest missing persons cases on file in the U.K. (!!)

Richey Edwards ~ Welsh musician, lyricist and guitarist of British alternative rock band "The Manic Street Preachers", and who is often cited as one of the greatest lyricists of all time, disappeared in 1995 and presumed dead in 2008. He had suffered from severe bouts of depression, was practically immobile at one point and was causing self-harm. Widely believed to have committed suicide by jumping off a bridge.

Carole Galbally ~ wife and mother to 4 young adult sons vanished one day. She was found not too long after a short distance from her house and eventually identified as a patient at a hospital. She had attempted to take her own life by overdosing on pills due to depression stemming from then-recent remembrances of abuse she suffered as a child. She has since recovered.

Darren Walker ~ father to 3 daughters vanishes. He had recently been saddened over the deaths of 2 close friends within two weeks of each other.

Claudia Lawrence ~ 35 year old disappears en route from her job as a chef.
