Plot Synopsis

Hosted by Terry O'Quinn, MYSTERIES OF THE MISSING is a one-hour docuseries that pursues plausible explanations to some of the most infamous disappearances of all time. Each 60-minute episode exposes the theories behind what happened on the fateful day of a single infamous disappearance and what science can now tell us about what really transpired. Investigators, scientists, and experts use cutting-edge technology to decode the unexplainable and seek answers to some of the most puzzling unresolved cold cases in history. The first episode chronicles the biggest aviation mystery of the 21st century, Malaysian Airlines Flight 370, and attempts to determine how something so closely monitored could simply vanish. Subsequent episodes feature other prominent vanishing acts, including: the three Alcatraz escapees who managed to flee the island fortress in 1962; the Lost Roanoke Colony in North Carolina; the unexplained cause of a 1908 explosion in an extremely remote part of Siberia that is said to have been the equivalent of a thousand atom bombs; and the notorious Bermuda triangle, among others.
