Black Girl Missing (8 p.m., Lifetime)

In this new Lifetime movie, a Black mother enlists the help of a dedicated community of amateur internet sleuths to try to find her missing daughter after authorities and the media quickly dismiss her case and focus on the search for a missing white girl instead. This is followed at 10 p.m. by a special “Beyond the Headlines” episode that details the stories of two young Black women who have gone missing, and the families who battle a system stacked against them. With the help of the Black and Missing Foundation, these families hope to bring their daughters home.
