What happens when someone goes missing?

A mother of two who was suffering from depression describes the moment she walked out of her home and left her family behind. In the first of the two-part series Missing, Presumed… journalist Penny Marshall finds out what happens when an adult goes missing. Rifling through green filing cabinets full of hundreds of files inside the Missing Persons’ Unit, Penny hears about missing persons cases dating as far back as the 1950s. She experiences the processes that the police and Missing Persons’ Unit go through in their efforts to find missing adults and talks to the families of those who are still hoping their loved ones will come home.
