The Vanishing

When a child disappears without a trace, the world watches in horror—but for the families left behind, the nightmare never ends.

In The Vanishing: When Innocence is Taken, investigative author Claire Smith delves into the most haunting cases of missing and murdered children, uncovering the chilling patterns, the systemic failures, and the dark underworld that preys on the innocent. Through gripping storytelling, expert analysis, and real-life survivor accounts, this book exposes the hidden truths behind these tragedies—shedding light on cold cases, criminal profiling, law enforcement missteps, and the fight for justice.

Raw, riveting, and deeply unsettling, The Vanishing is more than a true crime book—it’s a call to action. Because behind every headline is a child who never came home, and a family still searching for answers.

For fans of true crime, investigative journalism, and those who refuse to let the missing be forgotten.
