Of that number, 332 have returned home while the police list the other 171 as missing. Of the 503 persons, 312 were females and the other 191 males. In terms of the returned, 139 were males and 154 females. This number is by no means definite as there are cases where persons have returned home and their relatives have not informed the police.

And how many have ran away from home as to how many have been abducted.

Back to the <span style='font-family: Arial Black'>missing</span> again.

It is really frightening, I hope this Government will do a better job of counting, tracking and finding these persons, because if you even add half the amount to the death rate we would have the highest per capita death rate in the world.

Well you and I both know that they simply hasnt got the resources to undertake such a task effectively.

It would need some kind of database to collate and sift through all information regarding missing persons,a process that if implemented and targeted at criminals would assist the police to fight crime more effectively,and they havent got such a system in place.

On another note,my personal opinion is that some of the people that are missing are not missing because of foul play.

Re: 500 People Reported Missing!

Thats why I responded to RichD by saying That the missing we do not know as who ran away from home as against who got abducted.

There are many youngsters especially teenaged girls who leave home unaccounted for, drawn to the possibilities of a better life with a man or boyfriend.
