Premise

The series name comes from the statistic that the odds of solving a case decrease by 50% if a solid lead is not found within the first 48 hours after the person has gone missing. Filmed in Chicago, the series gives an inside look at the real-life cases and procedures of the Chicago Missing Persons Unit. Similar to its predecessor series, The First 48, each episode usually focuses on two cases, beginning with the report of a missing person and ending with either a resolution or the point when the case reaches an extended dead end.

gollark: You know, back in ye olden days of Minecraft, it was actually well-optimized and didn't allocate hundreds of megabytes of data a second. Sigh.
gollark: But why?
gollark: Yes!
gollark: They can also move light, ME connections, liquids and items.#
