Where are they? is a true crime podcast that examines unsolved missing persons cases. Host Jennifer provides a detailed account of the events leading up to each disappearance. The show's goal is to focus on cases that haven't received national media attention. The difficulty, she says, is finding cases with enough information to report on. This show does a good job of including lesser-known cases many listeners likely won't know.
The podcast helps get attention to these cases by sharing the stories of missing people. She also shares her theories about what may have happened. Unlike murder cases, disappearances often include elements of the unknown. Where are they? seeks to spread awareness about each missing person. The hope is that someone listening may have information about the case. For each episode, Jennifer allows listeners to share anything they know.
The meticulous research behind every podcast episode ensures listeners hear every detail available. Jennifer includes audio from interviews with friends and family members. These often tragic, unsolved cases sometimes point to murder or worse. Where are they? conveys the emotional toll of disappearances on those who know the person. Not knowing what happened to them or where they are can be more difficult than recovering a body.
Well-placed musical interludes help set the mood for each story. Jennifer narrates what authorities know about each case. She also has no issue sharing the shortcomings of police in mishandled investigations. Listeners who know of interesting cases of missing persons can send in suggestions on the podcast's website. Jennifer has released several episodes that came from listener suggestions. The show also features updates with new developments to older episodes. When investigators discover new details, Jennifer releases a brief episode with that news.
New episodes of Where are they? are available for streaming each week.
