Consider what the average person goes through when they’re trying to locate a missing loved one. For starters there’s the ongoing dialogue with the authorities, where you’re doing your utmost to provide the investigation with the information it needs to progress. Then you have the media, as well as poster and online campaigns to manage, in an effort to get the word out as quickly as possible. Finally there’s fraught emotions to contend with, those of your immediate family first and foremost, who all need to be kept in the loop at all times, and then of course your own…Now add to that already nightmarish equation a foreign country and an uncooperative police force. That’s what Leona Tighe has been dealing with since her 38 year old sister Jean, from county Cavan in Ireland, walked out of her hostel in Portugal on July 13th 2020 and vanished without a trace.  For more information on every episode from all five series visit https://themissingpodcast.org New episodes every Monday.  Presented by Pandora Sykes https://www.instagram.com/pandorasykes From Podimo and What's The Story Sounds https://podimo.com/uk https://whatsthestorysounds.com/ The series is made with the support of Missing People and Locate International https://www.missingpeople.org.uk/ https://locate.international/ The series is Researched and Produced by Jack O'Kennedy Executive Producers for Podimo: Jake Chudnow & Matt White Executive Producers for What's The Story: Darrell Brown & Sophie Ellis
