A-Cast powers the world's best

0:06

podcasts. Here's the show

0:08

that we recommend. Hey, Force Center friends.

0:11

I'm Ken Napsok. I'm

0:14

Joseph Skrimshaw, and this is Force Center, a Star Wars

0:16

podcast that celebrates the galaxy far, far away with

0:19

a mix of deep dive analysis and comedy fun. We

0:22

cover all the films, the TV shows,

0:24

books, toys, and the

0:26

big themes, everything from the profound lessons of

0:28

hope versus fear to the absurd fun of

0:30

Boba Fett's knee darts. Myself,

0:33

Joseph, and our third partner, Jennifer, land and rely

0:35

on our years of experience as writers, performers,

0:37

and broadcasters to create a critical but

0:40

positive Star Wars space that's like hanging

0:42

out in the cantina but with absolutely

0:44

no limbs getting cut off. It is a

0:47

podcast Obi-Wan Kenobi would feel okay letting Anakin

0:49

listen to without going to the dark side.

0:51

So, join us on the light side, friends.

0:53

Everyone is fighting their own private

1:20

battle in some way, shape, or

1:22

form. And we

1:24

all choose different weapons to keep

1:26

ourselves from being overwhelmed. 52-year-old

1:29

Trevor Farthing liked to work with

1:32

his hands. He

1:34

took pleasure in physical work, and

1:36

crafting was a form of therapy

1:38

for him. Give him a

1:40

few pieces of wood, a handful of

1:42

nails, and a toolbox, and

1:45

by the end of the day, he'd

1:47

produce something wondrous, like

1:49

a medieval-style catapult which

1:51

could hit distant targets

1:53

with pinpoint accuracy. Between

1:56

crafting, time with his family in his hometown

1:59

of St. Helens, Helen's merseyside and

2:01

walks with his beloved dogs, Trevor

2:04

had worked out how to stay on the

2:06

winning side of his battle. That

2:09

was until June 2017, when

2:12

Trevor went missing, sparking

2:14

a new battle for his partner of

2:17

over 30 years, Marie, to

2:19

find him. I'm

2:23

Pandora Sykes and you're listening to The Missing,

2:25

a podcast series produced by

2:27

What's the Story Sounds and

2:30

brought to you with help from

2:32

the charities Missing People and Locate

2:34

International. They believe that

2:36

all of the cases in this

2:38

series could still be solved. This

2:41

is The Missing, Trevor Ferving.

2:49

Marie and Trevor first met when Marie was

2:51

12. They both

2:53

grew up in the town of St

2:55

Helens, in Merseyside, in the north-west of

2:57

England. It

2:59

was a friend of my brothers. When

3:02

we was young, we

3:04

used to go with a girlfriend

3:07

of my sisters. Trevor,

3:10

a year Marie's junior, immediately

3:12

caught her eye. It was

3:14

good luck in that back then, which

3:16

there was. It wasn't mine to have

3:19

at the time. It was somebody else's.

3:24

After all, timing is everything and

3:27

only a few short years later, when

3:29

they were both still teenagers, they got

3:31

together. And then we

3:34

kind of darted for a little

3:36

bit and then it ended.

3:39

And I would never speak to them again

3:41

because some happened. But

3:43

there are only so many hotspots for

3:46

teenagers in St Helens and

3:48

inevitably their paths crossed once again,

3:50

one night in a local pub.

3:53

It was called the railway. It

3:55

was on Fleet Lane. And we

3:57

sat down and there was two pints on the table.
