    Helping spread awareness
    The more people who look, the better the chances of finding someone’s loved one. Looking forward to updates. Positive Dateline can get at least one and that’s worth it.

    Outstanding missing persons podcast, hosts are some of the best investigative journalists on air. Let’s get season 4 started.

    Great podcast that gives attention to ignored victims
    Dateline tends to cover more popular cases, and in many cases the victims are not minorities. I love that they’re spotlighting what these families are going through, and bringing awareness to all types of missing people. No one is less important.

    Terrence Jr
    I’m just 13 years old yet it still bugs me that no one almost didn’t care about what happened to him yet it just feels like that one person is for sure hiding something. For example Sam. G, he kept on talking trash about Terrence not doing his job write to his parents and just before Terrence left for Idaho he had a major panic attack. And some people say that he walked of the side of a mountain into the woods, but there is still something wrong about that because we all know he’s better dead than alive out there so he knew what was coming. So maybe Terrence caught some of the trash talk about his job and him saying that his parents don’t appreciate him, then maybe he felt extremely depressed which could lead to suicide or doing dumb things. Or he fell into an abandoned mine shaft and he got so worried he knew he would die. I hope this thought might help you guys find out where Terence went. God bless his whole family with the best of luck.

    Don’t care for this
    So far, this is my least favorite of the various dateline podcast series. The stories are tragic, and hopefully the families will eventually find closure as a result of the information presented here. However, most of these true crime stories lack the depth of the TV series and they are unsolved. Without some resolution in finding a guilty party, the listener may feel unsatisfied.

    I would give 5 stars but …
    I only have the season 3 trailer and it says season 3 would be released in July ; however I don’t have access to the episodes other than the trailer. Help!

    I listen to learn how I can help!
    When I heard the preview of Terrance Woods. I had to hear it, because I know Idaho well. His case has to be easy to solve. I pray an investigator will dive into his case ASAP. I can’t believe there are 10-12 people on the mountain that day and they aren’t talking. One of them knows what happened. My theory is he was hurt intentionally and by who. He didn’t suddenly loose his marbles and run down a mountain. Had he done that. If that was true. Why did those 10-12 people not make sure they found him, rather than leave him on the mountain? They had been working with him. Did no one care? Had I been there, I would have called in for help and no one would have left until we found them. Even if there is no cell service. I guarantee someone had a Satellite Phone. Even if it was via one of the cars Satellite ability. “On Star”. I wish I was an investigator. I know Payne Lindsey would find out what actually took place. This story is missing so much. It’s painful to hear this and know that no one is doing anything. Or are they?
  • Joto Breath
    Pretty lame for something with the Dateline name on it.
    We are up to episode 5 or 6 or whatever and Its shameful to see whites be disregarded because of their race. Only one of the cases profiles a missing white man and I’m sure the only reason that story made the cut is because the white man is actually gay thereby making him a minority and making his story safe to report.
  • HAHAfunny!
    Good show, minus the agenda
    I enjoy the show, but unfortunately the theme is always about race, gender or sexuality. If that’s what you want the show to be about, why not include that in the title or show description?

    Five stars
    I try to figure out these mysteries to help out and they are difficult to figure out. I really like this podcast and I hope to hear more episodes. I am sorry for all of the families out there who have missing people in their lives. May god bless them.

    Prayers for the family, bad journalism though
    My prayers to the Garcia family and Arelie. I pray she is found safe and the family is brought peace. Dateline failed to mention though that the Salinas Police Department are not only understaffed but they are operating in one of the most crime ridden cities in California. Salinas Police and Monterey County Sheriff are esteemed organizations. Monterey County Weekly is also not known to be accurate or ethical in their reporting, speaking from personal experience.

    Wasn’t a bad story until it became all about the color of her skin, quit with the racism

    Missing Still: ARELIE GARCIA
    Thanks Josh - Finally I hear more info about this missing local lady. Doesn’t sound like SHE drove her car and left it down Hwy 1. Where is she? Why are local LE not updating local media - somebody knows something. We’re going on 2 years “missing”. ARELIE didn’t go missing by herself. We need ALERTS on our phones like the ones for “wind”. Tourists here get lots of media attention especially when they drive into the ocean. I hope this podcast brings new information.

    Find the missing children
    I do appreciate the professionalism that Dateline offers however I agree with other reviewers. Find the missing kids that the elite are trafficking. Find the kids that are coming over the border and no one cares to report about.
  • Thai J
    Good but depressing
    I hate this podcast and not because it’s bad. But because of the format and the content, I know that no answers are coming by the end of each episode. I end up feeling really bad for the family. This podcast series also opened my eyes to the amount of missing people in the United States. It’s unreal.
  • HeatherR18
    New episodes
    The app says this updates weekly however mine is not showing one since Nov 2023……it is now June 2024??? At minimum take down that it says updates weekly. That is just a reminder to us all that it is definitely not updated weekly, heck not even monthly or quarterly. Maybe semi-annual? Oh wait not even that!
  • bv nana

    Keep the episodes coming!
    Absolutely love anything produced by Dateline. Thank you for shedding light on missing cases. Too many go unnoticed. Keep the episodes coming!

    Missing Kids
    If you really want to make an impact, find out what has happened to the 85,000 missing unaccompanied minors who crossed the southern border. Or check out the 450,000 minors placed by HHS into hands of people with dubious background checks. Find the ones who are being trafficked or used for cheap labor. These kids lives are on the line, politics be damned!
  • foxsongs
    Yup
    Great. Thanks
  • heyitssezzy

    Who in their right mind would take people?
    I love listening to mystery stories and podcasts but I’m not a big fan of people that go missing and I don’t know how anyone in their right mind would be stupid enough to kidnap and possibly kill anybody is beyond me and I would think that they would have the common sense to realize that they are going to end up in jail eventuality, so why do something that awful?😡🤬🤬😡😢

    Don’t Promise Episodes if you Can’t Deliver
    Guys - People really like this Podcast. It seems you’ve realized this, but you are not delivering episodes on time. If NBC does not have the bandwidth, get out of the podcast biz!
  • boy you're
    Gigi is the one who has the right
    Ugh I’m sorry for being so bad for you and I just don’t know how much you want me and you are not going back to the world of life but you are
  • WheatgeassDan
    Check it out
    If you like this podcast, you would love the podcast True Crime Kent. The production value and writing is fantastic and hard to beat. I am sure that true crime Ken will be at the top of your podcast list.

    Can’t play
    Episodes don’t play on Apple Podcast

    Great Show
    I love everything dateline produces. My only issue is if you’re so worried about the missing why do I have to pay subscriptions. I’m pretty sure NBC is doing ok. 👌👍
  • Susienyer
    It was great until it stopped playing
    Halfway through, the audio went off. I see that this has happened to others also. I would think that if anyone could handle the technical aspects of a podcast, it would be NBC!
  • JWMoffi
    Audio difficulty
    Audio issues just about every other time I try to play an episode.
  • dalililylama
    Technical issues
    Some episodes stop playing part way through. Really a bummer and annoying. It’s hard to start listening wondering if your going to be left wondering. Listening on Apple Podcasts. So disappointed.

    Apple Podcast
    I can not listen to season 2 on my Apple Phone
  • Bdbdnbfnf
    Awesome podcast
    The jasmine episode was scary but good at the same time whoever made it did a good job and I love it so much
  • Lauren Marrow
    Helpful idea
    It would be really nice if you all could provide photos for the episodes to help make it easier for people to know what the missing person looks like. The episode website only takes you to nbc.com. That doesn’t really help.
  • @imwillhenderson
    Are You Elizabeth Ann Gill
    Please don’t play that song throughout the episode. Once at the beginning is MORE than enough
  • Chel_Bot
    Episodes not playing
    Seems like there is an issue with some of your episodes. They won’t play on Apple Podcasts.

    Love it
    The best !!

    Dateline’s sibling
    Good show, my only complaint is that Josh Mankiewicz is about the worst interviewer of all time. He asks penetrating and thought-provoking questions such as, when questioning a pregnant lesbian’s sister, “how did that happen?” or asking the police officer in the same episode about a convicted criminal in an armed robbery case, “did he have a gun?” Seriously, what a joke. Too bad there aren’t 5 Keith Morrisons. The content is pretty good, a notch below Dateline, but still worth a listen. Hopefully this show will help solve some cases (or even a single case would be great), so I’ll keep tuning in.

  • Rent My Radio
    More episodes?
    Can you PLEASE update us on when more episodes will be released?
  • gdyhcdrggd
    Had potential
    If u follow missing person/true crimes stories, u know early on and sometimes forever, without a crime police take a report and not much happens other then “their adults and can go missing if they want”. So leave it to a NBC podcast to try and make it a social justice issue only when some people are missing. Getting struck by lightning happen more then “hate crimes” but of course they bring on the social warriors to claim it in every disappearing. So no u can escape the main stream full court press and just hear a podcast
  • karlin11
    No new episodes
    Really annoying to be waiting months for something new and all you get is excitement just to find out that it’s a trailer for another show dateline started but still nothing new for this particular podcast

    Addictive
    It is so scary that there are so many missing people, I would love to hear more of this series.

    Incomplete
    Follow The Vanished Podcast for a much more complete assessment of missing person cases.

    It’s a trend people
    The trend of blaming everyone but the perpetrators of crime is getting very boring..

    Why subscribe?
    I love the episodes that are available; however, I do not understand what I actually paid for when subscribing. I have seen zero new episodes. I feel disappointed that Dateline would stand behind promoting a subscription without content. Viewers like me have been a lifelong Dateline fan and was hoping this podcast would deliver.
