An Overview of Missing Persons in the United States

The phenomenon of missing persons in the United States presents a complex and multifaceted challenge. According to the National Crime Information Center (NCIC), over 600,000 individuals are reported missing annually. While a significant majority are located swiftly, a substantial number remain unaccounted for, leaving families and communities in distress. As of the end of 2023, there were 97,127 active missing person records in the NCIC database.

Demographic Disparities in Missing Persons Cases

An analysis of the demographics reveals notable disparities. In 2023, 57% of missing persons were classified as White (including Hispanic), while 40% were from minority groups.
