Ed is joined in this archive show by Steffen Hou, who has spent
many years studying killers, particularly those who kill children.
This has resulted in his book Moms of the Missing, a sort of how to
parent and look after your children, with knowledge gained from the
most tragic circumstances. In the book, Mr Hou talks to those the
children left behind, scarred people, ever-searching parents,
guardians and family members, all with one thing in common; they
hold out hope - no matter how slim and unlikely - that they will
see their child again.

"Oh my God, we found a dead body." The man's voice, calling from a
mountain trail in Cleveland National Forest, was frantic. "Please
hurry. I'm so scared. It's a little kid." When police arrived, they
were met by a horrific sight. The girl was naked and had been
positioned in such a way that detectives believed the murderer had
seen his kill as some kind of a trophy. As if he were showing off
his "work". The little kid was Samantha Runnion, a five-year-old
girl who had been abducted while playing in her parents' garden the
day before.

Samantha is just one of too many American kids who disappear.
Almost half a million children are reported missing every year. And
all across America parents are searching for their missing children
or if the worst case scenario has come to pass the person who
killed them.

Moms of the Missing investigates ten abduction cases. Through
personal and heartbreaking interviews with the victims, it
describes how parents maintain their hopes of one day finding their
children some of whom were taken by a stranger, a family member, or
human traffickers. And two survivors tell what it is like to be
held captive, tortured and raped, but also how they have restored
life after being rescued.

Moms of the Missing explores the principal types of abductions, and
not of least importance who's most likely to become a victim of the
epidemic of missing children, but also how abductions can be
prevented.

Moms of the Missing is parent's guide to keeping children safe and
puts focus on:

* CHILD PROTECTION
* FAMILY ABDUCTIONS
* STRANGER ABDUCTIONS
* INFANT ABDUCTIONS
* HUMAN TRAFFICKING
* THE SEX OFFENDERS
* ONLINE DANGER
* DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
* THE MOST LIKELY VICTIM
* LONG-TERM MISSING
* THE PROFILE OF AN ABDUCTOR
* THE IMPACT OF DNA
