Missing Persons by State 2022
According to the National Missing and Unidentified Persons (NamUS) database, which is funded by the U.S. Department of Justice, more than 600,000 persons of all ages go missing every year, and approximately 4,400 unidentified bodies are recovered every year.
The vast majority of missing persons cases are resolved relatively quickly. For example, in 2012, there were 661,000 missing persons cases reported; more than 659,000 of them were resolved within a year. Additionally, researchers say that the number of missing person cases has declined over the past decade as better communication has made it easier to keep in touch with and track persons. Still, more than 17,000 missing person cases and 13,000 unidentified body cases remain open in the United States.
The vanishing and death of Gabrielle Venora Petito have wholly taken the attention of America. The news agenda of many media outlets were full of reports about the incident. The Washington Post tallied on Fox News you can find 398 mentions about the incident, 346 notices on CNN, and 100 notifications on MSNBC. The comprehensive periodicals coverage has also spurred interest in other less-reported disappeared person incidents that have persisted unsolved.
Motivated by the Gabby Petito incident, Reddit user malxredleader got data about the number of open missing person cases per 100k people in each state from The National Missing and Unidentified person system (NumUs) and created a choropleth map exhibiting which U.S. states have the least and most disappeared people. He found that while 3.6% of currently lost person cases are missing indigenous persons, the actual amount is higher.
Most indigenous people live in very rustic and remote reservations in extreme poverty, many of them using alcohol and drug and alcohol use. Moreover, various law enforcement agencies are accountable for on and off the rez, causing it challenging to efficiently find and prosecute somebody from off rez who commits crimes. Indigenous women go disappearing at a much higher rate than anybody else.
One of the most significant takeaways is that Alaska has by far the most considerable rate of missing person cases in the United States, with approximately one out of each 617 people in the state missing.
