When a Lunch Lady Becomes a Hero: Laura Bullock's Mission to Bring the Missing Home

Most of us go about our daily lives—serving meals, raising families, going through the motions. But Laura Bullock isn't like most of us.

By day, she's a lunch lady in Mitchell, South Dakota. But in every other moment, she's a relentless advocate fighting to give voices back to the voiceless and names back to the nameless.

In this powerful episode of Missing Our Voices, you'll meet a woman whose own heartbreak—searching for a runaway adopted daughter and it ignited a fire that refuses to go out. What started as personal pain transformed into a mission that has touched tens of thousands of lives.

Laura founded the South Dakota Missing Persons Facebook page and serves as admin for the Missing, Murdered and Indigenous of South Dakota page, building communities of over 38,000 people who refuse to let anyone be forgotten. But her work goes far deeper than social media posts. Through countless hours of research, advocacy, and sheer determination, Laura has helped identify unidentified bodies and bring closure to families who have spent years—sometimes decades—searching for answers.

She believes that every unidentified person was someone's child, someone's sibling, someone who was loved. And she won't rest until they get their names back.

This isn't just a true crime story. This is a story about the extraordinary power of one ordinary person who decided that forgetting was not an option. Laura Bullock proves that heroes don't always wear capes—sometimes they wear hairnets and serve lunch with a side of hope.

Watch now to hear Laura's incredible journey and be reminded that one person truly can change the world.
