BONUS: The Black and Missing Foundation

Natalie and Derrica Wilson, co-founders of the "Black and Missing Foundation" join "Mind Over Murder" podcast hosts Bill Thomas and Kristin Dilley for a fascinating conversation about their organization. Now heading towards their 15th anniversary, the Black and Missing Foundation has helped solve hundreds of missing cases through their advocacy. We discuss why black and brown cases struggle to get media coverage, how young victims are being sex trafficked, how "Missing White Woman" syndrome can be addressed, and how you can help their important mission. This bonus episode of "Mind Over Murder" originally ran January 16, 2023.
