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.
