Titled When Missing Turns To Murder, the series follows a number of cases across the UK

The ten-part series observes the Missing Person's cases of Helen McCourt, Danielle Jones and Jayden Parkinson among others.

It’s been widely praised for its more emotional approach to a true crime doc, as it uses powerful and emotional testimony from families and friends, who detail the horror they feel as their Missing Person’s case turns into a murder investigation.

And people have been full of praise for the series, which launched on Netflix fairly recently and has already rocketed into the UK Top 10 trending charts.
