The elderly are among the most vulnerable in our community, and when they go missing, it becomes a race against time to bring them home. They can be frail, and dementia can take a toll. On New South Wales’ South Coast, a much-loved veteran, father and grandfather has wandered off from his aged care facility, seemingly without a paper trail. Meanwhile, further north, police search for another elderly man after his yacht was found abandoned, drifting in the water.

Please note: this is an older episode of The Missing from a few years ago. The audio quality is better in series 2 (from June 2023), but the content and story is just as important.
