Not sure if you have covered it or not but here in Oregon USA there was a child that disappeared about 10 years ago. His name was Kyron Horman. I'd love to here a show on his disappearance.

it's totally false that you have to wait 24 to report a child missing or that the police won't act straight away!!!!!!!!😠 the first 48 hrs are crucial 😢
