Throughout our South Australia season, we’ve unintentionally covered a number of cases that have involved missing persons. Approximately 38,000 people are reported missing in Australia each year, and 99.5% of those that are reported missing are located. There are currently 1600 long-term missing persons cases in Australia.

In this Very Special Episode, we want to shine a light on some of these long-term missing cases in true MITLOO fashion – one per each state in Australia. We also discuss what to do if you think someone is missing, how to submit a tip to police, and what to do if you have information about a missing person. If there’s one takeaway from this episode, it’s this: DO NOT WAIT 24 HOURS TO REPORT SOMEONE MISSING. You won’t get in trouble if you report someone missing and they are found straight away. Better to be safe than sorry.
