In fact, statistics prove that if a solid lead is not discovered in the first 48 hours, chances are slight that the missing person will be located alive, or at all. Bill Mondy narrates the show as Chicago police detectives work feverishly to locate the missing persons featured in the episode. Some detectives stay in the station to cover paper trails and get phone tips. Meanwhile, other detectives hit the streets and begin checking up on any leads.
