West Midlands missing people: Can you help to crack these disappearance cold cases?

Each day, people are reported missing by West Midlands Police, and whilst the majority of those eventually turn up, tragically, some do not.

However, as well as police forces, various charities also launch appeals, with many seeing a dedicated team of volunteers spending their free time chasing leads, receiving calls, and posting updated information that may help with the search.

One such group is the missing persons charity, MissingPeople.org.uk.

The volunteer-led group regularly adds new faces to their list of missing persons cases, with some being missing for more than 20 years, and whilst they try their hardest to locate those who disappear, they can’t do without our help.

So, to help in their search for the region’s missing people, we have listed the longest-running missing persons cold cases to be placed on the MissingPeople.org.uk website.

Each missing person appeal comes with a reference number, which can be used on the MissingPeople.org.uk website.
