Press Release Summary: The “Reuniters” is a new concept for a TV reality show, with the following mission statement: ‘A decorated and dedicated group of investigators collaborate to reunite individuals who have shared dramatic, life changing events in the past, and due to circumstance beyond their control, have never been able to locate each other or realize closure. The “Reuniters” are able to facilitate those activities.‘ This show will take the viewer through the processes involved, along with the trials and triumphs of bringing people together.
Press Release Body: The ‘pilot’ episode is in the final stages of production, and a local talk show recently broadcast an informational piece with clips and key interviews. On Tuesday, August 4th, 2008, “Twin Cities Live - TCL” (KSTP, Channel 5 locally) interviewed one of the show’s investigators, spoke to one of the Vietnam Veteran’s highlighted in the pilot episode, and aired clips of the pilot episode.

The show’s creators, Steve and Mara Reichel of Brooklyn Center, MN, have extensive credentials in the “people finding” business; Steve as a skip tracer, and Mara as a background researcher. As two of the Twin Cities’ premier investigators, they have made a living for much of their adult lives locating individuals for a multitude of civil, criminal, and personal rationales. This show was borne out of that vast experience. Plus, it more importantly allowed the Reichel’s to give something back to others. “The satisfaction of reuniting lost souls, and this special opportunity to share the actual course of action with the television viewing public, is what makes this all real for Mara and myself”, stated Steve, in a recent phone interview. “It was a pleasant surprise when other professional investigators, production talent, etc. were so eager to join us on this project. None of us could have imagined the awesome upside to reuniting individuals and groups, until we shared in the emotions at the conclusion of the pilot episode. We can’t wait to get started on the next assignment!”
The “Reuniter” team has also created a ‘temporary’ website dedicated to providing background information on the cast, a forms page for visitors to submit their ideas for future episodes, and a news page to update interested parties on the status of production activities.
