Nkechi Okoro Carroll: 电视剧《Found》关注的是被遗忘的失踪人口，这些人往往没有得到足够的媒体关注和社会重视。美国媒体对失踪人口的报道存在偏差，对某些群体（例如黑人女性）的关注不足。警方的重视程度和媒体的关注度之间存在相互影响，共同导致某些失踪案件被忽视。电视剧《Found》希望通过娱乐的方式，引起观众对失踪人口问题的关注，并鼓励他们参与到寻找失踪人口的行动中来。即使只有一人多关注失踪人口，也能对寻找失踪人口产生积极影响。电视剧《Found》的创作灵感部分源于2014年华盛顿特区多名黑人和拉丁裔女性失踪的事件，这些事件在主流媒体中被忽视。她利用自己的写作技能，创作电视剧《Found》来引起人们对失踪人口问题的关注。 Shanola Hampton: 她饰演的角色既是绑架受害者，也是绑架者，这让她在表演中需要深入挖掘角色内心复杂的情感。她通过想象受害者家属的感受，以及自己内心的复仇欲望，来塑造角色。观众对她在剧中角色的评价褒贬不一，有人认为她饰演的角色和绑架犯一样糟糕。 Josh Mankiewicz: 失踪案件层出不穷，为电视剧《Found》提供了持续的创作素材，但也反映了社会现实的悲哀。在美国，边缘化群体在遭遇不幸时，往往会面临更大的困难。
