Disparus

There's something about the mystery of people going missing that has always intrigued me (for whatever reason). The unsolved cases are more exciting to me than the ones that end up with usually a young woman dying at the hands of a monster (I don't like those but unfortunately it happens more frequently than I had thought).

What's great about this show is that the violence (re-enacted or described) is kept to a minimum and even nonexistent in some episodes as the outcomes of most of these cases are unknown.

What moves me the most are the tireless efforts of the families and friends in trying to find their missing loved ones. I love it when they are found alive at the end. Some of the unsolved cases are heartbreaking and so I'll take to Twitter to share them because somebody out there knows something. This series has also prompted me to purchase pepper spray for and ingrain in my young nieces the need to know how to defend themselves.

Also, can we stop with the plea deals already ? Some of these animals need to be exterminated.

Excellent show !

I can't believe that there is just one other review for this terrific show. And it's an unfairly negative one at that. A champagne glass?

This show profiles true life cases of people who have disappeared without a trace. Through interviews with family members and reenactments , we learn of the events that lead up to the person's disappearance. I have watched every episode of the show's 6 seasons and almost always, I am completely absorbed.

A person disappearing without a trace is disturbing and one can only imagine what the family members are going through as they search for answers. I have been so taken with some of these cases that years later I will think about someone I saw on an episode and do a search to see if there is any updated news on the case.

I'm not sure if this show has ever been responsible for someone being found as Unsolved Mysteries used to claim back in its day, however, it certainly doesn't hurt to have another forum to get the word out to help find these missing people.

I'm happy to learn that a 7th season is being produced due to viewer demand. Smart move by Investigation Discovery as it has been , in my opinion, their most important and highest quality show.

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!

This was a good show. There was a time when I binged crime shows, and Disappeared was one of the first that I binged the hell out of because I found them interesting yet sad.

The show is about investigating people and families who disappeared. Some were found 47'd, others were found having a new life and others well have not been found.

The whole quality of the show was awesome and engaging. You felt for the families and victims. Thoughout you get to make guesses of what may have happened and sometimes I was right.

Also, sad that a good, informative show that may help families had to come to an end while shows like the Bachelor remain on the television.

Last Words: Interesting and a sad show at the same time.

It's amazing I think how people really do disappear and this show opened my eyes a lot. A must see!
