~HO DISAPPEARS- AND WHY
\"The Problems of Victory are more
agreeable than the Problems of Defeat???
but no less difficult.\" _Winston

WHO DISAPPEARS
~fhere are no reliable statistics on the number of people
~o disappear each year. This is obviously due to the
ture of the action??? the goal of which is to remain
Ldetected??? and also to the method used to collect such
~tistics.
All disappearance statistics are ultimately based on
~fficial\" records of \"missing persons.\" These records are
)mpletely unreliable because of the way they are
~mpiled. The two main sources of error are: (1) the large
amber of disappearees who are never officially reported
missin ersons; and (2) the sma!ler number of people
:ted as gPssing who are not. Let s start with the first
ategory and see why some people are never cataloged as
missing.
A person who disappears has to be formally reported
nissing before the police will take any official notice. Most
tisappearances are reported to the Missing Persons
3ureau (MPB) of the local police department. There are
-nany reasons for truly \"missing\" people to go unreported.
Fugitives from the law are almost never reported as
missing persons. Think about it for a minute: if you were a
c~c~se re~ative or friend of someone who skipped bail???
