WithoutATrace – for all those who are lost, that may someday be found...

r/WithoutATrace

WithoutATrace is a community for discussing missing persons cases - both open and closed. We tend to focus on cold cases, but we do discuss more recent disappearances as well. You are welcome to post about missing people here!

#Welcome

Welcome to the subreddit! This is the place for those cases of people who have disappeared and the stories behind it. All discussion, pictures, news stories, and videos regarding missing persons cases are welcome.

Please provide a synopsis for any YouTube channel links, any podcasts, or blogs. We do need more than a screenshot of a poster or clipping!

Note: We do tend to focus on cold cases rather than recent disappearances, but we welcome all cases.

#Flair

Cold Case — For those missing cases that police and the public consider cold, after a few years or decades

Missing — For recent cases of people going missing in the last year.

Update — News articles related to a person who has gone missing, whether the police or family are trying to get information or the public's notice about a case or a person has been found either dead or alive

Historical — Cases from centuries ago without a resolution

Please post relevant info to the case in the comments!
