Nancy Grace
  Nancy Grace, calling the community to action

Nancy Grace, a prosecutor, reporter and crime victim herself, is helping keep many of the issues surrounding child abuse and abduction in the limelight. In addition to her ongoing nightly show on CNN's Headline News (HLN, Monday - Sunday, 8pm ET), her new series, "Nancy Grace - America's Missing," which airs LIVE at 9pm, will feature stories on current and cold cases.

The lofty goal of the new show? Find 50 people in 50 days!! And she's challenging the community to play an active role.

As Ms. Grace says, "Don't just rely on law enforcement. They're just as overloaded as everybody else in this world. They're just as swamped. You get out there, you make the difference. And, frankly, what's more important than that is what you do up front when it comes to letting your children play outside or letting your children play unsupervised. Avoid a missing child incident before it happens."

We couldn't agree more.

About the Show

"Nancy Grace" hosts television's only justice themed/interview/debate show, designed for those interested in the breaking crime news of the day (HLN, Monday - Sunday, 8pm ET). Grace challenges guests on the most high-profile legal issues of the day by drawing on her unique perspective as a former violent crimes prosecutor and as a crime victim herself. Nancy Grace provides viewers with a clear understanding of not only the top crime stories, but also the cases often overlooked.

Nancy Grace's new show, "Nancy Grace: America's Missing," is dedicated to finding missing persons in the United States.  The program, which relies heavily upon audience participation, urges viewers to find people as well as bring attention to victims whose stories never made it to the airwaves.

Nancy and her team are utilizing social media, CNN iReport, phone lines and their show to achieve the goal of finding 50 people in 50 days.

The debut program featured the case of Lindsey Baum, a 10-year-old girl from Washington state who went missing in 2009 as she walked home from a friend's house.

There are numerous links on the Nancy Grace web page devoted not only to crime stories but also to such issues as supporting and thanking our troops, cancer awareness and advocacy, and links dedicated to helping those suffering in in Haiti and Chile.
