Welcome — And Why This Work Matters

When I started this blog, I wasn’t just looking to write about true crime.

I was looking to tell the stories that too often fall through the cracks — the missing children the media stopped covering, the teens labeled as “runaways,” the women forgotten because of their race, poverty, or trauma. I was looking to hold space for people the world has overlooked.

I believe every missing person has a story worth telling.
And more importantly — they have a name, a face, and people who love them.

This blog exists to remember them, fight for them, and give them back their dignity.

What You’ll Find Here

This is not a sensationalist blog. I don’t publish graphic details or gory speculation.

What you’ll find here are carefully researched posts, written with compassion and a sense of justice. I focus exclusively on disappearances — cases where there’s still hope, still questions, and still a need for people to care.

I write about:

  • Children, teens, and adults who have vanished without answers,
  • Social justice issues that often surround these cases,
  • How systems like foster care, homelessness, immigration, and poverty intersect with disappearances, and
  • Why some stories are shared widely — while others are ignored

I also write from the heart — because these aren’t just “cases.” These are real people. Some remind me of the kids I’ve cared for, the girl I used to be, or the families I’ve met through nonprofit work. Their stories matter. And I’m committed to helping the world remember them.

My Vision

This blog is more than just a platform — it’s a mission.

I want to create a space where readers can learn, reflect, and take meaningful action. My long-term goal is to expand this into a space that supports advocacy, connects with families, and helps shine a light on the people who are still missing.

In a world full of noise, I want to focus on what matters:
Truth. Dignity. Justice. Compassion.

How You Can Help

This is a one-woman project, built with late nights, deep research, and a whole lot of heart. If you believe in what I’m doing and want to help me grow it, here are a few simple but powerful ways to support:

  • Subscribe to the blog — you’ll see a pop-up window when you visit, and a sign-up form at the bottom of every post. Subscribing ensures you never miss a story.
  • Share a post — even just one share can help spread awareness and keep these names alive.
  • Leave a comment — your words of encouragement help more than you know.
  • Check out the digital products in my store — they support the blog and help spread the message.
  • Send a tip or small donation  — every bit helps sustain this work.

Thank you

If you’ve made it this far, thank you.

Thank you for caring. For reading. For showing up for the missing. This work wouldn’t be possible without people like you — people who still believe in empathy, truth, and community.

I’m honored to have you here. Let’s keep fighting for the forgotten, one story at a time.

With love and purpose,

Margaret

  1. Hello Margaret, I give you praise where it’s due. For each solved case, there are tens of thousands that fall into the shadows of obscurity and are likely crowded out by new more sensational csses that the media uses to make a profit. This especially applies to older cases that lost former media coverage due to the improbability of being solved. As long as there’s still attention brought to their case, there is still hope; albeit a long shot. If and when these cases become solved, they have you to thank for that since their name was never totally forgotten. Every person deserves to have their case resolved and those responsible, put to justice. This is a wonderful post and a great mission to achieve.

      1. You are more than welcome! Thank you for getting me more involved in the topic of true crime. More specifically, in the Trace Evidence podcasts. I don’t know of any other person who has the same or higher interest level in this topic than you. It makes me feel less alone.
