Missing Persons Cases

By Ara Parisien

One of the most challenging aspects of the work I do is missing persons cases.

Why do I do them? Because I deeply believe everyone deserves to ‘come home’.

While I am committed to offering my absolute best during these trying times, it needs to be balanced with compassion, love and knowledge. Families, in the throes of these heart wrenching situations are not ready nor able to contemplate the higher view of things. Their world has been ripped apart so how could they!

When a person goes missing, loved ones are left suspended in the ache of not knowing. It is one of life’s most painful experiences—caught between hope and grief, waiting for answers that seem far away.

Yet from a soul perspective, this unfolding is never without purpose. The soul of the missing person determines not only when they are discovered, but also how long their body remains hidden. This is not neglect by the universe, nor a cruel delay. It is the soul’s orchestration of timing, ensuring that the impact of their absence ripples through the lives it is meant to touch, stirring compassion, resilience, and awakening.

Their disappearance becomes a catalyst for growth within families, friends, and communities. The “not knowing” becomes a crucible for transformation. Only when the intended learning has reached its purpose does evidence surface, and the mystery lift—not by coincidence, but with soul-led precision.

And through every moment of waiting, your loved one has never been truly gone. Their soul remains connected to you—offering presence, comfort, and love. Even before discovery, they walk beside you, guiding in ways seen and unseen.
