Here is the link for the 2017 FBI MiSSING PERSON NCIC REPORT/DATA -
2017 NCIC Missing Person and Unidentified Person Statistics
Look under MISSING PERSON FILE for the following sentence -
"As of Dec 31, 2017 there were 88089 missing person cases... 36.5 percent or 32,121 were juveniles..."
Now get your calculator out and do some math.
I believe you will find that 36.5 percent of 88089 is actually 32,151 not 32, 121.
So which is wrong the percentage or the whole number?
I could keep you busy for over a year when it comes to the number crunching where Missing Persons are concerned in the USA.
It is shameful in my opinion. And sloppy and disconnected and ripe with conflicts and impossible to reconcile.
I tried for several years. There are just too many oddities.
Mollie's case highlights a few -
She is 20. In IA that is ADULT for NCIC that is JUVENILE.
In IA she is classified as "OTHER ADULT MISSING"
Missing Persons
That won't work for the FBI because of Mollie's age.
One reason why I hoped the FBI would take the lead. We seem to care more about children than adults when it comes to mobilizing and searches. That is why CART exists and rapid response teams train and have over a 90 percent success rate of finding children.
I had to wonder though with what you pulled - not sure of the source? - if you think the FBI should be involved at all with Mollie's disappearance?
The FBI could not have considered Mollie as involuntary on their own, that comes from the SHERIFF.
So along with the DATE of the MISSING PERSON REPORT is the INCIDENT TYPE also wrong?
