Welcome to “Simply Missing: The Unheard Voices.” We are your hosts Neil Portman and Andi Clark and in this podcast, we delve into the stories of those who have vanished without a trace, their names fading into obscurity. These are the missing people whose cases don’t make headlines, whose families struggle in silence, and whose communities yearn for answers.

🔍 Why “SimplyMissing”?

When we think of missing persons, certain names immediately come to mind: Gabby Petito, Maura Muray and , Mollie Tibbetts. Their stories dominate news cycles, captivating our collective attention. But what about the countless others? The ones whose faces don’t grace the front pages, whose photos don’t trend on social media?

🌟 Our Mission: Amplify the Overlooked

In each episode, we’ll shine a spotlight on the missing individuals who deserve more than fleeting mentions. We’ll explore cases that haven’t received the attention they merit—especially those involving people of color. Because every life matters, and every disappearance leaves behind a void.

🔎 TheDisparity in Coverage

Did you know that thousands of people of color vanish each year, yet their stories remain buried? The phenomenon known as the “missing White woman syndrome” perpetuates this inequality. When young White women go missing, their narratives dominate headlines, while Black, Indigenous, and Hispanic individuals fade into anonymity.

📰 The Media’s Role

We’ll dissect how media portrayal affects public perception. Why do some victims receive sympathy, while others face judgment? We’ll challenge these biases head-on. And we won’t shy away from discussing the systemic issues that hinder investigations and hinder the allocation of vital resources.
