We are a collective of volunteers, drawn together by compassion, determination, and a shared purpose: to bring renewed attention to Ireland’s long-term missing persons cases — especially those that have grown cold with time. We are an independent initiative, not affiliated with any government body or law enforcement agency. Our strength lies in collaboration, not authority. We seek to fill in the gaps — to connect forgotten details, explore overlooked clues, and keep the conversation going where official investigations may have paused. Our hearts are with the families and loved ones of the missing. We see you. We recognize the enduring pain of not knowing, and the strength it takes to keep hoping. We maintain the largest publicly accessible database of long-term missing persons in Ireland, with a particular focus on cold cases — stories that may have faded from the public eye, but still matter deeply. Through this platform, we aim to ensure that no one is ever truly lost or forgotten. We believe in the power of shared knowledge and open dialogue. Whether you’re a concerned citizen, an independent researcher, or a family member of someone missing — we invite you to be part of the conversation. Share a memory, a theory, a photo, a correction — even the smallest insight can make a difference. You can also support this effort by volunteering your time — helping us document cases — or by making a small financial contribution to help cover essential administrative costs. Every bit of support helps us stay online, stay accurate, and stay focused. Together, we can keep the light on — for those who are still missing, and for those who wait for them.
