The Missing Found

The Missing Found

The Missing Found is an investigative true crime podcast that focuses on missing person cases in the Black community that are left unsolved and cold.Statistically, African Americans receive far less media coverage than our White counterparts. According to The Black and Missing Foundation, in 2021, African Americans make up only 13% of the United States population, but our missing person percentage sits at 37%. It’s impossible to report on every case of a missing person in the country, but the divide between us and other races are severely disproportionate when it comes to media coverage.To challenge this, we started The Missing Found podcast to bring light to cases deemed unsolved and cold to offer a renewed perspective with only the hard facts, breakdown every case detail, and the possibilities thereafter.We thank you for your viewership. We look forward to conducting comprehensive analyses into the unsolved missing person cases of those who look like us.
