Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

mhubbard-54657 Too bad there are so many of these cases, that the producers have plenty of material. This is not feel good escapist television, other than perhaps it feels good to sit, safe in your living room and watch with growing terror what leads up to the disappearance of these mostly young women. Some were dabbling on the wrong side of the tracks, some weren't. Some had vulnerabilities, such as substance abuse, or mental illness, others were pursuing the American Dream. All were obviously in the wrong place at the wrong time. Much spookier than any horror film, because this stuff really happened and continues to happen.The unsolved cases are particularly chilling.The production quality is not always top notch, but worth watching if you "enjoy" this type of thing. Some of the stories may be hard to forget.

KeepYourGoodHeart Being a big fan of Investigation Discovery, I thought I would tune into this show along with my usual other viewings of the programs on this network. This show is probably the best on ID and should be much more popular than it is! The cases are truly haunting because we know that these are the real stories of real people and what makes it very personal is seeing their friends and family tell their own stories in their own words on the show.This show has a little bit of everything: people that were found dead but nobody knows what happened to them, those that are still missing seemingly without a trace, and those who were found alive and got a happy ending. Some cases have their obvious suspects (without enough proof to prosecute them most of the time) while others are true mysteries. Each story is so different from the other but all are equally captivating.The show does a great job at attempting to present all the known facts in the most unbiased manner possible while looking at all the different perspectives offered by law enforcement, the friends and families, etc. Some cases I've been so drawn into that I periodically look online for updates and while I don't really know if the show has solved any cases, I definitely think that it is a powerful tool to bring the reality of disappearances and kidnappings to your average viewer.I look forward to watching the rest of the new season!

Danny Blankenship For years now on "ID" Discovery channel this series called "Disappeared" has aired and I just recently watched some episodes while channel surfing, yet it's right for my taste because I love mystery and crime shows especially those that involve real life cases as I was always an "Unsolved Mysteries" addict. And you all know when you see news footage or the paper headlines it's panic and dread and doom for everyone when someone goes missing or they are abducted and the pain and drama sorrow for the families involved are tough to describe as they search for answers. Many of these cases are tough to solve as they have no witnesses and often the motive is robbery, sex, rape or even human trafficking. The series acts out each case recreating the story plus it shows actual news footage about each case and interviews law enforcement officials and family members of the missing. This program is a tough watch yet it's a program of hope that ask and searches for answers of those missing and it tries to find answers and closure of these hard to crack cold cases.

marymorrissey this show is pretty meager in terms of production, very splashy and annoying in terms of post (incredibly over-dramatic titles used very very liberally. Anyway I'm watching a 2nd episode online, pausing just to make a review inspired by the fact that this character being profiled, this feller who went missing in Colorado evidently liked the company of pretty women and liked to pahr-tayy. OK, so that makes it easy oh hell actually though it starts way before that getting annoying. This guy would like to come to work early and make the coffee and have his ritual bowl of oat meal so we get umpteenthousand shots of the durned coffeepot and these really annoying shots of the bowl of oatmeal. Evidently either production team will not settle for the P-poor resemblances managed by such models for this kinda show as "Unsolved Mysteries" (Cosgrove-Muerer) or else they couldn't manage to find anyone even remotely looking like the subject of the two episodes I watched, thus we have all these absurd headless coverages of these doomed individuals. I had to laugh especially in the oatmeal sequence because the poor actor did try to put as much as he could into it, tapping the spoon on the side of the bowl to settle the oatmeal into the reservoir of the tea/tablespoon. Anyway we get many many many many shots of the coffeepot, the oatmeal-in-action and then later comes that marvelous festival champagne for a benefit. The fact is this show ought to be doing 2 unsolved disappearances per episode and the sloth of taking on only one with the limited material they've captured to put it together results in quite deadly television from which I was doomed to disappear before the end of either of the two episodes I attempted to view!
