Abstract

Many people go missing each year, and their fate often remains unknown. In Europe, approximately 250,000 children are reported missing annually (Missing Person, n.d.). In the USA, 84,136 active missing person records were maintained in the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) on December 31, 2013 (NCIC Missing Person and Unidentified Person Statistics for 2013). About 35,000 individuals are reported missing in Australia on an annual basis (Australian Federal Police, n.d.).
