and a little raw, the host of this show unravels the father-son relationship. By
the show’s end, both parties are together, their stories on the table, though
much is usually unsaid. By pushing, bullying and prodding, the host gets down to
the true nature of this complex, fascinating relationship.

Without
Goodbye is a unique, live search for lost loved ones. The (studio) show recovers
abducted children and frees teen-aged victims from their “lover boys”—pimps
posing as lovers. It’s all about the hunt for kidnappers, shedding new light on
cold cases, fighting crime and helping people search for their roots.
The
goal of Without Goodbye: locate people who have disappeared under suspicious
circumstances. In every show, a number of heartbreaking cases are presented.
Guests in the studio reach out to their loved ones. Viewers, crucial to the
show, can call in to the telephone panel with tips that sometimes lead to
astonishing, immediate results. Teenagers who’ve been coerced into being
prostitutes are rescued from their captors; abductees are reunited with their
families.
The show exposes all manner of crimes and criminals. Desperate
parents are helped in international child-abduction cases by bringing back the
kidnapped children. In close cooperation with the authorities, even cold cases
are solved!
Without Goodbye gives people the chance to say hello again.
Finally, they can hold their lost ones in their arms, ending years of
uncertainty—and agony.
