1 - 800 - Missing (2003-2006) is a crime drama centered on Jessica Mastriani (Caterina Scorsone), who acquires psychic abilities after being hit by lightning. She uses the clues from her psychic visions to help the FBI locate missing persons. At first, Jess is unable to control her psychic abilities, and the dreams she gets after seeing pictures of missing persons are full of symbolism and often difficult to interpret. She becomes better able to control and understand her visions as the series goes on.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })After the first season, the show was retooled, which included replacing the supporting characters, making the dynamic more ensemble-based, replacing the theme tune with something more upbeat, and changing the title to just Missing.note Not to be confused with the non-fiction series Missing, which profiles actual missing persons cases, or the 2009 BBC crime drama of the same name.The cast included Gloria Reuben as Jess' partner FBI Agent Brooke Haslett, Justina Machado as FBI Agent Sunny Estrada, and Dean McDermott as Assistant Director Alan Coyle in the first season, then Vivica A. Fox as Jess' partner FBI Agent Nicole Scott, Mark Consuelos as FBI Agent Antonio Cortez, and Justin Louis as Assistant Director John Pollock in the second and third seasons.Altogether, the show lasted three seasons on Lifetime in the U.S. (airing on A and later WNetwork in Canada). So far, only the second season has been released on DVD.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })1-800-Missing is based on the YA novel series 1-800-Where-R-U by Meg Cabot, but shares few similarities beyond the basic premise. This is lampshaded in the later books, where the TV show exists in-universe and many characters watch it, but talk about how it has no basis in Jess' real experiences.

Though the title was more or less an Artifact Title for the books too as they went along, which is why they are being re-issued as Vanished.

Bad Humor Truck: One turns up in "The Last Stop", as the basis for a fake armored car used in a bank robbery. Agent Cortez notes that the "armor" is 1/8 in sheet tin, which "wouldn't stop hard rain."

Action Girl: Brooke Haslet in Season 1. Jess becomes one in Season 2, and her partner Nicole Scott is one as well. Agent Scott is sufficiently badass that Assistant Director Pollock claimed that unless up against a battalion of Russian armor, his money was on Scott
