In Australia 38,000 people are reported missing each year, in the UK the number is around 365,000 and in the US over 600,000. Many of these cases are never resolved.
Blending long-form journalism with true crime and philosophy, Erin Stewart’s The Missing Among Us takes us from the Australian bush, to the battlefields of Northern France and the perilous space of a refugee camp to explore stories behind the missing. Stewart speaks to parents of missing children, former cult members, advocates working on the crisis of missing refugees, children of the Stolen Generations and many more.
From famous cases like that of Madeleine McCann, to those who are lesser known, yet equally loved and mourned, this unique book forces us to see the complex story behind each missing person and those they leave behind.
