Missing Person statistics in the United States
National figures show why sustained awareness matters. These statistics describe FBI records across the United States, not the number of profiles on Missing Faces.
498,038
Missing Person records entered into NCIC during 2025.
88,093
Active Missing Person records in NCIC on December 31, 2025.
21,487
Active records for children under 18 on December 31, 2025.
These are record counts, not a count of unique people or a live total. Annual entries and year-end active records measure different things. Records can be removed when a person is located, returns home, or an entry is determined to be invalid.
Submit a Missing Person case with photos, last-seen information, and law enforcement contact information. Each submission is reviewed before it appears on Missing Faces.
If you have information about a case, contact the investigating agency listed on that case. For an immediate emergency, call 911.
