In this Bell Work Talk, Michael Nance discusses Missing and Unidentified Persons -"Our Nation's Silent Mass Disaster."
If someone you love disappeared what would you do to find them how would you be affected?
On any given day there are approximately 90,000 people reported missing to the FBI's National Crime Information Center (NCIC). There are approximately 40,000 unidentified persons in coroner and medical examiner offices nationwide.
Learn how the National Institute of Justice developed the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) to provide resources, paid for through federal taxes and are no cost, to families, law enforcement, coroners, and medical examiners.
Thank you so much for looking into this.
Janine, Here is Mikes response to your question.
There are 5,188 in the NCMEC website. https://www.missingkids.org/gethelpnow/search/poster-results
There are 940 under 18 years old in NamUs.
There are 1,549 under 21 years old in NamUs.
I don’t have access to NCIC to tell you how many are entered there.
What is the number of missing children?
