Does it happen when victims are identified?

Yes, it usually means they’ve been identified. There is a possibility that the profile was removed for investigative reasons, we can’t know 100% for certain without an announcement, unfortunately.

I think when a profile is removed due to someone being identified the number of resolved cases increases.

I believe so too, but I remember an instance when 2 cases from NY came back up and the Resolved cases decreased by 2 cases.. That’s very rare, though..
