WHEN a loved one goes missing, the confusion and yearning to know what happened and where they are can be overwhelming.
Some missing person cases are solved quickly but some families can go weeks, months or even years wondering what happened to their loved one.
Missing People is a charity that searches for missing people on behalf of the friends and family left behind and provides specialised support to ease their heartache and confusion.
Their website lists more than 40 people in the South West who remain missing, some of them several years after their disappearances were first reported.
We are supporting the charity by sharing appeals for information on all seven people from Dorset who are still missing this Easter.
If you have any information that could lead to them being found, you can contact Missing People anonymously and for free on 116000 and quote the reference number.
