Missing persons

Help find someone.

Readers file appeals for people missing after floods, landslides and earthquakes at home, and for family members lost touch with in the Gulf. An editor reads every one before it appears here. Nothing is published automatically.

File an appeal Emergency numbers

These are appeals from the public, not police records. The Journal checks that each one is coherent, that any attached post is real and public, and that the contact is willing to be published — it cannot confirm that a person is missing. In an emergency, call the police first. To correct or withdraw a notice, write to missing@whitepeakjournal.com.

Emergency and rescue

Call these before you file anything. A newspaper appeal is what you do alongside a police report, never instead of one.

File an appeal

No account needed, and we do not ask who you are. What you write about the person and the contact you give are the only things that ever become public.

Step one

Who is missing?

Enough for a stranger to recognise them. Please leave out passport and citizenship numbers, bank details and medical history — none of it helps, and all of it is a risk.

Step two

A photograph, or a post we can check

One of the two is required. A photograph is re-saved on our servers, which removes the location your phone writes into the file. It stays unpublished until an editor approves the report.

Address of a public post

Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or X. An editor opens the post before publishing, so a private one or a link to a comment cannot be used.

Step three

Who should people call?

These details are printed with the appeal. Give a number that can safely take calls from strangers at any hour.

This report is made in good faith and everything in it is true as far as I know.I am entitled to share this photograph, these contact details and this link, and I agree to The White Peak Journal publishing them if an editor approves the report.

Nothing appears on the site before an editor has read it.
