Denise Horvath-Allan

Between 26th May and early August 1989 Charles went missing from Kelowna in British Columbia, Canada. Denise has never stopped searching for the truth of what happened to her son and she remains hopeful that the truth will come, one day.

In 2021 I began to work with Missing People UK to document some of the families that have experience of a long term missing person. During my time documenting these families I have found that there is a real need for change in the way that missing people are dealt with by the authorities. We have all heard of the County Lines drug problem, but did you know that if your child went missing in Staffordshire, the chances that the Metropolitan police would be informed are nearly nil, There are no images on milk cartons, no sustained media interest, you are in all sense of the words ‘Those left Behind’.
