35 year old Claudia Lawrence went missing from York on 18th of March 2009. Her father Peter is on the show to talk about the search for his missing daughter. He believes Claudia is still alive as he would feel it inside if she had died since she went missing!!
He is also on the show to talk about his campaign to get practical help for the families of Missing persons. He explained how a missing person's possessions cannot be dealt with until that person has been leaglly declared dead which takes 7 years from when they disappeared. In those 7 years a house can be repossed and sold by the mortage company due to non payment of the mortgage. The same applies to insurances policies and bank accounts (inc joint accounts), These companys only deal with the person whose name appears on the documents so what happens if that person disappears???? Peter is trying to get the law changed to allow other family members the right to deal with these issues after someone goes missing!!

![MISSING - 2011 Ag11](https://i.servimg.com/u/f25/13/55/24/88/th/ag11.jpg)
14 Year old School boy Andrew Gosden disappeared from his home on the morning of the 14th of September 2007. He left for school as usual that morning, later when his parents, Kevin and Glenys Gosden got in from work they just assumed he was somewhere in the house. They only realised he wasn't in the there when they called him for tea!!! After contacting school they found out he hadn't turned up for school at all that day!! The police were called and South Yorkshire police immediately launched a search!!! The poilce pieced together what he did that day!! Instead of going to school he went to a cash point and withdrew £200 pounds and then caught a train to Kingscross in London!!! A witness who sold him his ticket said he only bought a single fare to London even though a return ticket would have cost just 50p extra. This has lead police to believe he didn't intend to return home. He was caught on CCTV leaving Kingscross station at 11.45am on the day he went missing. There have been no confirmed sightings of him since!!!
3 and a half years on Kevin and Glinys are begining to think Andrew will never come back!! In an attempt to find answers they decided to search the Thames to see if Andrew some how ended up in the river!! Earlier this year they turned to a firm who specialise in sonar technology, they had invented an under water robot to search for drowning victims which they used to searched the river bed for Andrew!!! The search didn't find him.

When last seen she was wearing silver earrings, a black t-shirt and black trousers with a floral design on the right leg.

![MISSING - 2011 Jordan10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f25/13/55/24/88/th/jordan10.jpg)
Gaynor Faye out again with Missing person investigator Julie Potts! She is struck by the speed and effencey of the missing persons unit when a fresh case lands on the desk!! Today they are working on the case of Jordan Ratcliffe, he has been missing since 13 August 2008!!! Jordan was abandoned by his mother when he was 20 months old, His grandfather became his guardian and has raised him since! Life was pretty normal until jordan hit his teens when he started to rebel!!! He was living in a temporary hostel in the city centre with the hope that he'd return back home to his grandad.
Julie has enlisted the help of manchester city football club to get some publicity for the case by making a special appeal for the teenager! It is a sad fact that 64% of missing people in the Greater Manchester area are tenagers!!! Julie says that if your child goes missing, if it is out of character and you have concerns that you should call the unit - Don't delay the call!!!
They later meet up with Jordan's Aunt Kimberely the last person to see Jordan to fill her in on the latest updates to do with the case. They are hoping that the new appeal brings lots of interest and someone will come forward with that vital piece of information!!

![MISSING - 2011 Bn210](https://i.servimg.com/u/f25/13/55/24/88/th/bn210.jpg)
Ben Needham was last seen on the Greek Island of Kos on 21 July 1991. When last seen Ben was 21 months old. He had blue eyes and blonde hair. His family were from Sheffield. They have never given up hope of finding him. His mum Kerry Needham Grist was only 17 years old when she gave birth to Ben, she says being a mum at that age was frightenig She didn't have a a job at the time but from the moment her doctor confirmed she was Pregnant she was so happy!!! Ben loved being the centre of attention, he was always playing, always smiling and he was always happy!!! He was funny, loving, sometimes naughty, he was everything in a child you could have wished for, He was Kerry's angel!!
When Ben went missing the family were living on the greek island of Kos, Kerry often left Ben with her mum Christine while she went to work. Her father and brother were working on a house for a Greek man as they were in the building trade!! Ben was playing just outside the farmhouse toddling about!! At 2.30 that afternoon her brother left as there was no more work for him to do!!! Ben was still playing just outside the farmhouse door!!! Christine took her eyes off Ben for just a minute while she went inside the farmhouse!! Moments later she noticed he had gone very quiet!! She went out to the door and Ben wasn't there! he has just vanished completely.
Christine thought he had just wandered down the lane but after 4 hours it became clear he had disappeared and the police were called!! A promising lead was discovered the next day, local builders saw a white car on the lane around the time Ben went missing. A lengthy investigation into links between Ben and the car found nothing!! Ben's sister Leighanna, who was born after Ben's abduction now helps to continue the search for her brother!!! The family is determined to do what ever it takes to find Ben!!! Kerry doesn't believe that the Kos police were equiped to deal with an abduction case!! "Through no fault of their own they were island police and were not trained, they were not FBI, they were not CID, they were just island police officers used to dealing with tourist crimes, not a child abduction, not murders!!!!"
Mistakes were made in the first few hours, ferrys leaving the island were not searched and it took 2 days to alert the airport!! There have been a few occasions when they thought the search was over but each time the child in question turned out not to be Ben!!! Ben's case has now been brought into the 21st century with the use of the internet to get information out to as many people as possible!! 20 Years on Ben's mum is still haunted by his disappearence!! Kerry and leighanna now believe he may find them rather than them finding him due to all the latest technology!!! Ben could be anywhere in the world!!! The second photo above shows what Ben may look like now!!

14 Year old School boy Andrew Gosden disappeared from his home on the morning of the 14th of September 2007. He left for school as usual that morning, later when his parents, Kevin and Glenys Gosden got in from work they just assumed he was somewhere in the house. They only realised he wasn't in the there when they called him for tea!!! After contacting school they found out he hadn't turned up for school at all that day!! The police were called and South Yorkshire police immediately launched a search!!! The poilce pieced together what he did that day!! Instead of going to school he went to a cash point and withdrew £200 pounds and then caught a train to Kingscross in London!!! A witness who sold him his ticket said he only bought a single fare to London even though a return ticket would have cost just 50p extra. This has lead police to believe he didn't intend to return home. He was caught on CCTV leaving Kingscross station at 11.45am on the day he went missing. There have been no confirmed sightings of him since!!!
3 and a half years on Kevin and Glinys are begining to think Andrew will never come back!! In an attempt to find answers they decided to search the Thames to see if Andrew some how ended up in the river!! Earlier this year they turned to a firm who specialise in sonar technology, they had invented an under water robot to search for drowning victims which they used to searched the river bed for Andrew!!! The search didn't find him.

Gaynor Faye out again with Missing person investigator Julie Potts! She is struck by the speed and effencey of the missing persons unit when a fresh case lands on the desk!! Today they are working on the case of Jordan Ratcliffe, he has been missing since 13 August 2008!!! Jordan was abandoned by his mother when he was 20 months old, His grandfather became his guardian and has raised him since! Life was pretty normal until jordan hit his teens when he started to rebel!!! He was living in a temporary hostel in the city centre with the hope that he'd return back home to his grandad.
Julie has enlisted the help of manchester city football club to get some publicity for the case by making a special appeal for the teenager! It is a sad fact that 64% of missing people in the Greater Manchester area are tenagers!!! Julie says that if your child goes missing, if it is out of character and you have concerns that you should call the unit - Don't delay the call!!!
They later meet up with Jordan's Aunt Kimberely the last person to see Jordan to fill her in on the latest updates to do with the case. They are hoping that the new appeal brings lots of interest and someone will come forward with that vital piece of information!!

Ben Needham was last seen on the Greek Island of Kos on 21 July 1991. When last seen Ben was 21 months old. He had blue eyes and blonde hair. His family were from Sheffield. They have never given up hope of finding him. His mum Kerry Needham Grist was only 17 years old when she gave birth to Ben, she says being a mum at that age was frightenig She didn't have a a job at the time but from the moment her doctor confirmed she was Pregnant she was so happy!!! Ben loved being the centre of attention, he was always playing, always smiling and he was always happy!!! He was funny, loving, sometimes naughty, he was everything in a child you could have wished for, He was Kerry's angel!!
When Ben went missing the family were living on the greek island of Kos, Kerry often left Ben with her mum Christine while she went to work. Her father and brother were working on a house for a Greek man as they were in the building trade!! Ben was playing just outside the farmhouse toddling about!! At 2.30 that afternoon her brother left as there was no more work for him to do!!! Ben was still playing just outside the farmhouse door!!! Christine took her eyes off Ben for just a minute while she went inside the farmhouse!! Moments later she noticed he had gone very quiet!! She went out to the door and Ben wasn't there! he has just vanished completely.
Christine thought he had just wandered down the lane but after 4 hours it became clear he had disappeared and the police were called!! A promising lead was discovered the next day, local builders saw a white car on the lane around the time Ben went missing. A lengthy investigation into links between Ben and the car found nothing!! Ben's sister Leighanna, who was born after Ben's abduction now helps to continue the search for her brother!!! The family is determined to do what ever it takes to find Ben!!! Kerry doesn't believe that the Kos police were equiped to deal with an abduction case!! "Through no fault of their own they were island police and were not trained, they were not FBI, they were not CID, they were just island police officers used to dealing with tourist crimes, not a child abduction, not murders!!!!"
Mistakes were made in the first few hours, ferrys leaving the island were not searched and it took 2 days to alert the airport!! There have been a few occasions when they thought the search was over but each time the child in question turned out not to be Ben!!! Ben's case has now been brought into the 21st century with the use of the internet to get information out to as many people as possible!! 20 Years on Ben's mum is still haunted by his disappearence!! Kerry and leighanna now believe he may find them rather than them finding him due to all the latest technology!!! Ben could be anywhere in the world!!! The second photo above shows what Ben may look like now!!

Gaynor Faye is back with Missing person investigator Julie Potts. Julie doesn't just deal with people who go missing locally she also deals with cases of people who go missing abroad. Today they travel to Stockport to folow up on the case of Alex Humphrey, a young man who disappeared while back-packing in Panama. 29 year old Alexander went missing on the 13 August 2009. They are going to visit Alex Humphrey's dad to follow up on how things are progressing in Panama and if the family are getting answers. When someone goes missing abroad it adds another layer of complications as Julie has to rely on police officers in that country to run the investigation on the ground. 3 years later Alex's family have made no headway with the Panama police despite trying to work very closely with them.
"Alex decided to go to central America, he had slight learning difficulties as a child and is mildly aspergic which doesn't make him as aware of other people and their reactions to things going on around him in the same way as you and I would!" He had previously been back-packing in Europe and enjoyed the adventure. He liked being on his own, didn't take drugs and didn't drink, so there were un underlying worries concerning his lifestyle and he was good at staying out of trouble.
While with Alex's dad they catch up with his mum, Jill via skype as she is staying with family in Florida while trying to get more information on the case. Florida is also only a 3 hour flight away so His mum could get there quickly if any new development arises. Julie wanted to send 2 police officers from the UK to help in the search for Alex but at the last minute they were refused entry into the country. Procedures differ from country to country so it is a difficult and sensitive job trying to keep the lines of communication open while trying to get answers for families in the UK.

The last time his wife Ann saw him he was heading down an escalator and then he vanished!! He went to go to the toilet and Ann waited nearby, 10 minutes later she thought he was taking his time and asked a cleaner to check and see if he was ok But he was not there!! She went back up to the food hall and looked over the balcony and saw him going down an escalator but he moved so fast she couldn't catch up with him!!! She went to the security desk and they called in the police. The police checked the shopping centre and Brighton town centre but there was no sign of Gordon!! It looked like Gordon had left the shopping centre the worry was that he made his way to Brighton Pier!! The coast guard was alerted to search the shore while the police concentrated their efforts further inland!! The police and other services continued to look throughout the night. The Brighton cabbies were informed and they too kept a look out for Gorden. Shortly after this a cabbie stopped a police officer and told him he had just seen Gordon. The police were on the scene in seconds and Gorden was taken to safety. He is now safely back with his family, he has no memory of what happened!!!
