Every two minutes, someone disappears — leaving behind unanswered questions, desperate families, and an urgent police investigation. Reported Missing takes viewers inside the race to find those who have vanished, following the story from the moment a loved one raises the alarm.

With exclusive access to the police and their specialist teams, the series shows how missing person cases unfold in real time. Multiple cameras capture every stage of the search — from the first frantic calls and door-to-door enquiries, to CCTV analysis, public appeals, and the emotional toll on those waiting for news at home.

Each episode reveals the painstaking detective work, the difficult decisions, and the race against the clock that defines these investigations. Moving, suspenseful, and deeply human, Reported Missing is a powerful portrait of the people who disappear — and of the families and officers who will stop at nothing to bring them home.
