When Missing Turns to Murder

CrimeDocumentary45 min per episode

Each case begins with a disappearance and follows the point where a missing-person inquiry becomes a murder investigation. In this British true-crime series, testimony from relatives and friends sits alongside accounts from detectives and forensic specialists, tracing how searches, evidence and interviews reshape a case. With Shaun Dooley and David Swindle among its contributors, the focus stays on the people closest to the victim, and on the investigators trying to understand what happened once hope gives way to suspicion.
