Asprey, Mary
2005
Ms [Mary Asprey], who founded the charity in 1992 with her sister, Janet Newman, said that the financial crisis had been made worse by the tsunami disaster in south-east Asia when the charity bore the brunt of thousands of inquiries in the first few days of the tragedy as relatives of the missing turned to them for help. Consequently, the charity had incurred massive extra costs. The charity depends on charitable donations, with Home Office funding for the occasional short-term project. The National Missing Persons Helpline was launched in 1992 after the two sisters had been involved with the search for a missing estate agent, Suzy Lamplugh.

HELP! Missing persons charity begs Home Office for pounds 300k to keep going
2005
Every year more than 200,000 people go missing. The charity works with police on 150,000 cases to solve 70 per cent. The Mirror regularly publishes its appeals. The National Missing Persons Helpline was launched in 1992 after sisters Janet Newman and Mary Asprey became involved with the search for missing estate agent Suzy Lamplugh. \"It's also ironic that, during a time when the public and Government have been so generous in giving to foreign aid agencies in the wake of the tsunami disaster, the only national charity helping the families of people missing in the UK is facing extinction.\"
