EP 28 - Missing People on Long Island - a podcast by Center for Civic Engagement

Missing People on Long Island

How can we raise more awareness for cases of missing people that have slipped through the cracks and remain unsolved due to little media attention? Join CCE Fellow Antonia Moffa for a discussion of how we perceive people when they disappear.
