According to the official website, as of July 23, 2023, 941 people featured on Missing have been safely recovered.[2]
The show displays around 20 pictures of missing children and adults per episode. It begins with the account and description of the person, taking specific notice of body modifications, visible injuries and scars. Episodes (especially older ones) include video clips made by KidSmartz to teach children watching what to do in dangerous situations.
The show also includes Internet Safety Tips (a person, usually an adult or teenager, suggests some tips on how to stay safe online) and a Safety Quiz. (The video is produced by KidSmartz, showing a child doing the worst thing in the situation and then being quizzed on what the child should have done in the situation).
Nearing the end of the show, a "roundup" is presented showing the person (or people) pictured with their first and last name. Some roundups contain four individuals at a time (usually when they are all missing and have the same surname). An individual is shown for two seconds; more time is allowed depending on how many individuals are in the same slide.
Music from the series is composed by Larry Brown; the male whispers are added during the editing process.
