요약Following the disappearance of a loved one, family members (also referred to as "secondary victims") may experience a myriad of emotions such as sadness, grief, hope, and despair. Some secondary victims feel disappointed, angered, and marginalized based on their treatment within the criminal justice system and by the news media. Due to this treatment, some family members choose to become their own spokespersons, and even detectives, for their missing loved one. This dissertation highlights the experiences that family members of missing people have had with police and news media. Additionally, the dissertation conveys why, and how, family members use Facebook pages to advocate for their cause, becoming a voice for their voiceless loved one.The study utilized a case study narrative approach, with primary data coming from interviews with immediate relatives of missing people. The purpose was to understand their: 1) experiences with police, 2) experiences with news media, and 3) experiences with Facebook. Most cases in this study had "both positive and negative" experiences or predominantly "negative" experiences with both the police and the news media. All of the family members in the study had common rationales for deciding to create a Facebook page for their missing loved one, and most indicated positive experiences with it. Outside of these, additional themes emerged including: 4) Families Investigating the Case Themselves, where the majority of participants mentioned partaking in this, 5) Support Systems, with the majority of participants discussing support from other families of missing people, and 6) Perceptions of Justice and Fairness, where it seems that secondary victims who have the warmest relationship with police may have a more positive perception of procedural justice and fairness than those who have had negative experiences with police.
