<p>Welcome back to the eighth and final season of The Missing in its current form. Our first episode tells the tragic story of Rodrigo Falcon, who vanished from the picturesque Scottish town of Aviemore, in December 2022. </p><br><p>Rodrigo was originally from Argentina. He loved travel and adventure and these interests brought him to Aviemore, whose lakes and mountains attract thousands of tourists every year. Rodrigo was a keen skier and for a while worked at Cairngorm Mountain, a ski resort 11 miles outside of town, before eventually getting a gig pulling pints at a bar called the Pine Marten. </p><br><p>This episode hears from Katie Jahacy, co-owner of the Pine Marten and Rodrigo’s close friend. Katie brings us through the events leading up to Rodrigo’s disappearance and its aftermath, highlighting the outpouring of grief from the inhabitants of Aviemore that resulted. They came together in huge numbers to try and locate the man who had brought such joy to their lives, someone many of them considered a ‘brother.’</p><br><p>For more information on this case, and every episode from every series visit <a href="https://themissingpodcast.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://themissingpodcast.org</a></p><br><p>And to visit details of the most recent appeals - like the one you may have heard in this episode, please visit : <a href="https://missingpeople.org.uk/recent" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://missingpeople.org.uk/recent</a> </p><br><p>If you or anyone you know is struggling with drug or alcohol addiction, you can find some useful information here: <a href="https://www.talktofrank.com/get-help/what-is-drug-and-alcohol-treatment-like" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.talktofrank.com/get-help/what-is-drug-and-alcohol-treatment-like</a> </p><br><p>If you want to listen to The Missing COMPLETELY ad-free, and help to support the show, then please subscribe to our channel.</p><br><p>The Missing + is your home for the very best in true-crime podcasts.
