The numbers fluctuate due to newly entered cases and removal of resolved cases.

A spike/ drop in numbers does not necessarily mean an increase in missing and unidentified, it can means that more cases are being entered/ removed into the system.

Older cases are often added to the NCIC years after the actual event initially took place.
Often cases are often purged and / or expire.

The NCIC statistics reflect the USA, Canada and their territories.

Some experts feel that these are only 10-50% of the actual numbers as not all cases are / were reported to the NCIC by law enforcement. We hope to encourage more agencies to take full advantage of this available resource. We hope to see a retroactive approach to the submission process as well.

There are many cases that are not yet listed with the NCIC.

Missing-person experts estimate that the bodies of 40,000 to 50,000 unidentified men, women and children were found by police during the past 50 years.

For the family members of the missing, it is imperative that they properly report and request that their loved one's case is indeed listed in the NCIC. The law enforcement agency in charge are the only ones that can submit the case to the NCIC.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The International Homicide Investigators Association estimates there are more than 40,000
unidentified dead nationally. (USA)
