CHARLESTON, WV (WVNS) – There are a lot of missing people in the United States. As of December 31, 2021, the National Crime Information Center’s (NCIC) database contained 93,718 active missing person records. But how often are they found?

West Virginia has 143 active missing persons cases as of October 2022, with 92 recorded resolved cases according to the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) database. Children under the age of 18 account for 30,400 (32 percent) of the national recorded 93,718 and 39,114 (42 percent) recorded were children under 21 years of age. Many people who go missing do so intentionally. Its hard to believe, but plenty of research suggests that pushing factors like trauma, abuse, financial trouble, etc. are a primary reason people would ‘choose’ to disappear. According to the NamUs database, there are 600,000 people declared missing every year. Alongside that statistic, there are 4,400 unidentified bodies discovered every year. That means only 0.7333% of people who go missing are found and unable to be identified. The others are either found, or they are not. A large portion of the missing are found immediately according to NamUs. An NPR interview with Todd Matthews, director of communications for the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System in 2013 delved into the nature of missing persons reports and found the same thing. “You know, the missing touches everybody, I think. In 2012, we had 661,000 cases of missing persons; and that’s just from that one year. Very quickly, 659,000 of those were canceled. So that means those persons either come back; in some cases, located as deceased persons, maybe never an unidentified person; or just a total misunderstanding. So at the end of 2012, of those 661,000 minus the canceled, we had 2,079 cases that remained at the end of the year as unresolved.” Todd Matthews, former director of communications for the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System This is much the same of missing persons cases today. People often are found very quickly and the overall percentage of people who stay missing is close to 1%. That’s still a large number though, with 6,000 out of 600,000 people going missing in a year staying that way. A report published by Statista.com’s research department compiled past cases and showed that fewer missing persons cases are happening today.

2021 saw the least ever number of missing persons in United States history. Hopefully this trend continues, and the families of people who go missing have less and less to worry about. For people who are still missing after the one-year mark or even longer, we can never give up hope.

To get a guy to admit that he likes you, first ask him a few questions about things he likes doing and what he wants when he's older to get to know him and build his trust. In general, try to be as honest as possible with him so he feels like he can be honest with you too. You should also try to give him a bit of time and space so he doesn’t feel pressured or overwhelmed. If he still doesn’t admit that he likes you, try telling him you like him and asking if he likes you back. For example, say something like, “I think you should know that I like you, and I’ve been wondering if you like me too?” For more tips, including how to find out if a guy likes someone else, read on!
