How does someone disappear in a city built on order? How does a daughter spend years living two lives and keep them from colliding? How does a child walk into a school with visible injuries and still go home to the same house? A university student vanishes in France. On the other side of the world, her mother starts boarding flights, searching for answers no court can give her. A ten-year-old girl keeps showing signs that she's in danger while files move between desks and concerns slowly fade. A tutoring app opens the door to a stranger. Years earlier, a woman surrounded by wealth, celebrity, and magic is accused of murder. And inside scam compounds, a phone call promising work becomes a locked room no one expected. Headlines usually begin at the ending. The disappearance, the arrest, the verdict. But before any of that, a warning gets brushed aside. An injury gets explained away. A story gets repeated enough times that it starts sounding true. And by the time the full picture emerges, lives have already changed. This is Missing Context, a podcast exploring true crime and disappearances across Asia and the Asian diaspora, looking beyond what happened and examining the pressures, relationships, and decisions that shaped these cases. Because sometimes the missing piece was never hidden. It was sitting in plain sight. Missing context. First episodes drop Wednesday, May 27, 2026. Follow wherever you get your podcasts.
