An online "missing map" showing where people have disappeared in the UK has been launched by a charity.
The map is produced by Missing People, formerly the National Missing Persons Helpline, who estimate that 210,000 people are reported missing every year.
The charity is also launching Missing People TV - a channel featuring video appeals by relatives of missing people.
And it has set up appeals on social networking websites like MySpace, Bebo and Facebook to try to find people.
Donna Holland, from Missing People, said the map would allow people to search their region of the UK.
"The missing map enables people to view which vulnerable missing cases we are currently publicising in their area.
"I think it engages people and helps them realise there are people close to them who have gone missing."
Vulnerable cases include children and people with a history of physical or mental illness.
