Missing Person's!!?

Question

the gov. says that, so manyTHOUSANDS of people go missing every year, how many or what percentage are DEAD or MURDERED?

Answer 1

No one knows.
Some of these people have mental problems, alcohol and drug addictions, or are victims of abuse and neglect.
They are often called the "disposable people". They do not contribute to society nor do they have any roots. Often, they are never reported missing because there is no one to miss them.
Many will die of overdose, disease, exposure to the elements, or fall victim to violence. It is in this group that serial killers often start and 'perfect' their technique.
Statistics indicate that there are at least 6 active serial killers at any given time. They are seldom discovered until they start killing victims outside of this category.
It is tragic. Our churches and communities are failing to reach this segment of society.

Answer 2

Yes they are thousands that go missing each year most of whom do return home at some point or at least let someone know. There is however a percentage that disappear for good, some will be murdered, some just don't want to be found and start a new life with a new name.
There is a high percentage of teenage girls that go missing for a while but most eventually turn up at home again.
