16-year-old Damien is one of the UK’s highest profile missing persons. He vanished after a night out on the Isle of Wight. His Mum Valerie has campaigned for 24 years to try and find answers – amidst rumours of the involvement of a local drug dealer, and claims he was abducted. We re-visit this case and ask whether the islanders are still keeping a secret.If you have information on any of the cases covered in the podcast, please visit <a href="https://www.themissingpodcast.org/">TheMissingPodcast.org</a>, where you can find contact information as well as contribute and discuss on the Locate International forum.  The Missing is hosted by Pandora Sykes, produced by What’s The Story Sounds and made in association with investigation specialists <a href="https://locate.international/">Locate International</a> and the charity <a href="https://www.missingpeople.org.uk/">Missing People. </a> Learn more about your ad choices.
