A lot of people wondered what happened to Disappeared on ID. The first six seasons ran from 2009-2013 before the show took a three-year hiatus. Its seventh season debuted three years later on the Investigation Discovery network, and two more seasons ran until 2018. In 2021, the Disappeared podcast premiered, but now, in 2022, a tenth season returns to ID with eight all-new episodes beginning Wednesday, September 7 at 10/9 central. It also streams the same day on discovery+.
But what is? Will it be like it was before, the same Disappeared fans loved, or something else? Let’s take a closer look.
About Disappeared on ID
Disappeared is a reinvention of the beloved franchise. The series shines a light on individuals who vanished seemingly without a trace and aims to facilitate answers about the missing in order to bring closure to their loved ones.
Some episodes ended in heartbreaking discoveries, while a number of episodes helped bring missing persons home. Others still provide visibility for new leads to be discovered.
Each episode of Disappeared begins immediately before the individual vanished and chronicles the search for clues hidden beneath seemingly everyday behavior that may indicate what happened to them. Presenting timely stories with urgency for the public to act, the families of the missing hope the series will elevate their loved one’s story and help decipher the truth of what really happened to them.
At the end of each episode, information for the local police departments is shared in the event that a viewer has fresh leads or new information to share.
“Our recent success with the Disappeared podcast inspired us to reboot this fan-favorite series with all new episodes. With the proliferation of new surveillance techniques in recent years and the audience more determined than ever to participate in solving true crime mysteries, we knew this was the right time to bring Disappeared back in a way that could really make a difference,” said Jason Sarlanis, President of Crime and Investigative Content, Linear and Streaming. “Disappeared will join our Wednesday night lineup after premieres of In Pursuit with John Walsh for those motivated to deliver closure to families searching for answers and making a deep impact in our justice system.”
Disappeared Season 10 Premiere Episode
In the Season 10 premiere episode, “Vanished in the Night,” surveillance cameras record a young woman fighting with her friends outside a bar in Indianapolis, Indiana. Two hours later, the cameras catch her walking by herself in a parking lot and disappearing into the night.
Desperate for answers, Kirsten Brueggeman’s family shares her story and their plight to find her in the hopes that more people who know Kirsten’s story will be able to come forward with new information.

Are you a fan of Disappeared?
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
