Abstract

According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI’s) National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database, 867,129 indi- viduals were reported missing in 1999. The FBI estimates that 85–90 percent of those missing persons were juveniles—approximately 2,100 children reported missing every day (National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, 2000).
