Missing Pieces - NPE Life
🎧 Missing Pieces – NPE Life
Every Secret Has a Story
Every family has secrets. Some are whispered. Others are written in our DNA.
Missing Pieces – NPE Life is where those hidden stories come to light — through honest conversations with people whose DNA results changed everything they thought they knew about family, identity, or truth. It’s also a space for those searching for answers and discovering unexpected connections — sometimes even finding family.
Hosted and produced by Don Anderson, an Emmy-winning storyteller and NPE himself, the series explores what happens after the discovery — the shock, the search, the healing, and the human connections that follow.
🧬 Real stories. Real voices.
Because sometimes, finding out who we are starts with finding what’s been missing.

🧩 Analog Rick
In 1992, Rick set out to find his birth mother’s family without DNA tests, without Ancestry, without 23andMe, without Facebook, and without the internet as we know it.
All he had were a few pieces of information, some determination, and the willingness to follow a trail the old-fashioned way.
In this episode of Missing Pieces — NPE Life, Rick tells the story of how he found the missing pieces of who he was.
And make sure you listen to the end, when Don shares what happened after the interview — including how he finally uncovered the identity of Rick’s biological father, a man with a criminal past straight out of an old newspaper headline.
