The Families Left Behind: What Happens When A Relative Disappears? | The Missing | Real Stories

[@msperrylame2769]

My brother went missing for 8 months. My mum got so old in that time. My little sister didn't speak to my mum for ages. She blamed her. I just kept looking. We found him 1300 kms away having a mental breakdown. He has now got the help he needs and we are ok. At least I know where he is everyday and for that I'm grateful.

[@sexylexy80]

Ms Perry Lame why did your sister blame your mum?

[@rozenart5768]

Ms Perry Lame 😢 that’s so sad how the family is affected... glad he was found! Thank you for sharing.

[@SUPER_WOLFMOON]

I'm sorry your family was hurt by mental illness! At the time the police authorities were assumingly helping your family; did anyone express to you how often these mental breaks are the reason for people going missing? I think one could surmise that this must be a leading cauae of adult disappearances!

I watched one of these "real stories" documentary about a dude that called himself "Mike Dubois " and his friend, Dylan, found out he was actually a missing person in 1992 and worked with Dylan until his death in 2002. His family had no idea he was still alive those ten years until Dylan came to talk with them. It was confirmed via DNA that it was their relative and the mom said she could already tell because she knew her sons eyes.

Too bad he didn't reach out to his family before passing in 2002. It was called "finding mike" really cool.

Never ceases to amaze me that in this technological age, when tiny cameras on mobile phone can take razor-sharp images, the quality of CCTV is so poor.

[@secrety7623]

Well, it's basically because sharper images are bigger in size. And having to store those huge amount of data for quite some time wouldn't be possible if they where higher in quality

[@evillttlimp]

Higher quality cameras are also really expensive and most businesses don't want to pay for something they (hopefully) won't have to look into very often.

@@evillttlimp Tbh CCTV is a big hoax. Footage often useless and they are stored for like a week before they are deleted, often removed before police even get to start to build a case, or a case is even reported. CCTV producers are making big money on providing literally nothing. It amazes me this isn't adressed more often.

Oddly, that footage of the woman heading up to Bray is pretty damn sharp. Mho that was absolutely Ezra. That wasn't her dog. Or perhaps not a dog at all. She was pausing. Hesitating. Looking around. Second guessing her choice. Then she simply walked forward with nonchalance (hopelessness)

B Mandel Sometimes people are running from very dangerous people, have run out of options and they have to disappear to save their life or their children's lives. If the abuser knows the victim is definitely still alive, they'll probably put a lot more effort into hunting them down, so I can imagine some people feel it's better to go missing without a trace

About 3 months ago, I got onto my train and about 2 people of the Transport police stopped my train from departing because they thought that I was a Missing Person.

That happened to me on a bus I was very young but over 21 at the time and they were looking for a runaway she was the second person they took off the bus I thought it was weird that they chose me before the actual girl they were looking for but one thing I do know is if you are a mother it would be very hard to leave your child forever without even a phone call, so I worry for the young mother missing

Heartbreaking stories. My only son went missing for two months and it was terrible. We found him at last in a jail about two hours drive from my home.

@@kathryncumberland have you've looked at a map of the area and the walk up the hill? The policeman is basing his assumptions on the fact that the woman spotted on the cctv did not come back down, (IF this was Esra) she didn't need to come back. Option 1 she could continue walking onto Greystokes via the cliff wallk. Option 2 she could have taken the alternative cliff walk by the cross to Newcourt Rd or Eaton Ct or even Option 3 she simply could have gone to the cliff walk car park and driven off down Raheen Park, none of which would involve coming back down and being seen. I think the policeman may have overlooked this. If someone took/stole her phone and disposed of it, would it mean she was there? no, just the phone was. Suicide is the first option Garda have in Ireland, everyone is a suicide suspect until their body is found, they simply don't have the manpower to deal with their current open missing persons cases, it's about 900, an increase of about 200 in the last 2 years alone.

I did a little research in regards to the 2 missing people just to add a little extra to the conclusions at the end of the documentary: Tim Beardsley (guy with wife)- Still missing although reports of him seen in the UK and abroad in places like Spain keep coming in. Surprisingly, there is practically no updates in the media or even on his dedicated missing Facebook page (presumably made by his wife) since 2016. Esra Uyrun- Although there is no solid evidence, some suspect convicted murderer, Graham Dwyer, may be involved with Esra's disappearance. Graham Dwyer was convicted of killing another woman and apparently there are similarities between the women's disappearances. Dwyer hasn't been charged in anyway at this time it's simply a possible lead at this point. Other then that her sister still is looking and keeps it somewhat fresh in the media.

It's just my opinion but personally I think the case involving the missing husband is him wanting to start a new life without her.

[@kristinburton4953]

That lady leaving the Bunny note on the step is heart wrenching. I feel they suicide and wash their body out to sea so that it saves the cost of a funeral. It's their decision, but if only they would leave a note.

[@user-wickedflower]

Kristin Burton cant believe he would leave his beloved car behind if he went off to a new life.

[@EmmaLouise91]

Maybe he had a beloved new woman waiting for him, I know men can love their cars but I think he'd pick a new woman over it

[@stopbenedict2310]

Must be hard for the person to start up a new life and leave all their family behind... You leave behind wife, husband, kids, brothers, sister's, mom's and dad's you cut them right out of your life, never knowing if a new edition has been added to your family or someone dying. How hard would it be to live like that

[@EmmaLouise91]

I know, it's hard for me to fathom since I'm a homebird and can't imagine being away from my family for any amount of time. I simply couldn't live without them in my life. Also thing of leaving animals behind, your beloved pets. It must be so difficult in all respects. But some people simply can't cope and it's sort of an "easy" way out in a sense. Because you don't have to deal with anything, you just up and leave. In thatb respect I think it's quite selfish too.

[@dmck4672]

I noticed that Tim's mate featured on here mentioned several times that Tim was extremely intelligent & clever. He explained that "Tim always meticulously researched any major decisions in his life." Because of this, I would love to know if anyone checked/went through his personal & work 's computer history and recent searches to see if it exposed any possible leads or ideas. I think any searches prior to him vanishing would also be helpful to uncover what his his mental state of mind was and if there was any evidence an online relationship etc. I do hope that Tim's wife gets some answers, good or bad so that she can move on instead of living the rest of her future in limbo.

Sooo my dad left for the first time when I was 4 years old… I don’t know how long he was missing for. However the pattern became he would just not come home from work one day, then a few years later he’d be back… repeatedly. selfish… I spent the majority of my childhood feeling rejected. Like I wasn’t loveable because he didn’t want to be part of my life. As I got older I spent my time wondering where he was and would I suddenly cross his path. He eventually passed away after 17 years of wondering where he was, if he is alive, did he have another family… the not knowing is awful. I used to be very angry, now I feel sad he missed out. PLEASE THINK TWICE ABOUT ABANDONING YOUR FAMILY it’s utterly devastating and it took 3 decades of my life away 😔

I can't begin to imagine how difficult this must be for the families. I have an autistic friend who went missing out of nowhere two years ago. He took £500 out of his bank one morning and just didn't return that evening. His family obviously got the police involved and we all spent the entire evening from 7pm til 8am looking for him. There was absolutely no trace of him and it was the most worrying time of my life. Thankfully after three days we got a call to say someone found him by the river sleeping rough and he was taken to hospital. It turns out he was feeling even more anxious than normal and went out. His anxiety was so high that he had forgotten who he was and where he lived. We were lucky that someone had recognised him from a social media post. If they hadn't anything could have happened to him and he'd still be missing until this day.

This is completely devestating, if your loved one went missing you would face an endless dilemma , should you keep searching for them (even though they've been missing for a long time and are probably not coming back) ? Should you stop? But how could you? Its your brother / sister / significant other etc.. your life grinds into a hault as this cycle of questions keep going on in your head. Next thing you know weeks turn into months , months turn into years and eventually decades where you wake up one day and realize that you have not gone forward in your life as you remain a prisoner of these thoughts generated by someone's actions.

You can't eat, you can't sleep, you can sit down, you can't do anything. Anyone who looks anything like that person you obsessive about follow just to see if it's them. But we we're one of the lucky ones we did find out what happened to him because his body was finally found later on at the bottom of Avon gorge. The police did absolutely nothing to help they never ever looked all they did was 4 little lines in the evening post that if you didn't know it was there you would not have even seen. I did all the looking, I made all the missing poster's, I looked everywhere I couldn't find him, I concently phone him he never answered. Even though his body was found I still look for him even though I have got his ashes I think it's because I never got to say goodbye and never got to see his body I wasn't aloud to. I don't think I would still be alive now if he was still missing now it would of drove me mad it think. I'm just so glad that his body was found I just wish that he was found alive though. People say times a healer that's complete crap it never gets any better or easier.
