Must be a fair few bodies lying around America i think. They reckon only 10 percent are homicides, but still thats 83,000. Think of how many bodies are; lying in drains, buried under houses, in the desert. Hundreds and hundreds that will never be found ever. note this was in 2005, the numbers are higher now apperently. most are runaway kids I'd say from looking at the stats, but theres alot unaccounted for
By the end of 2005, there were 109,531 active missing person records according to the US Department of Justice. Children under the age of 18 account for 58,081 (53.03%) of the records and 11,868 (10.84%) were for young adults between the ages of 18 and 20.[1]
During 2005, 834,536 entries were made into the National Crime Information Center's missing person file, which was an increase of 0.51% from the 830,325 entered in 2004. Missing Person records that were cleared or canceled during the same period totaled 844,838. The reasons for these removals include: a law enforcement agency located the subject, the individual returned home, or the record had to be removed by the entering agency due to a determination that the record is invalid
