Mother's Plea Ignored

Christine Durand's son Steven disappeared in October 2018; she says Lancashire Constabulary misidentified his ethnicity and ignored concerns.
Research shows missing Black and Asian individuals are found less often than white ones.
A second case shows a mother faced similar issues when her son Richard Okorogheye went missing in March 2021 and was later found dead.

History

Historical Context

The 2018 disappearance of Richard Okorogheye underscored systemic issues in law enforcement, particularly regarding the recovery rates of missing Black individuals, which were 30% lower than those of white individuals. This reflects broader patterns of racial bias in policing, as highlighted by mental health advocates like Taun Hall, emphasizing the urgent need for reform to restore community trust and safety.
