NCIC MISSING PERSON FILE
The National Crime Information Center's (NCIC's) Missing Person File was implemented in 1975. Records in the Missing Person File are retained indefinitely, until the individual is located, or the record is canceled by the entering agency. The Missing Person File contains records for missing who
As of December 31, 2006, there were 110,484 active missing person records in the NCIC. Juveniles under the age of 18 account for 58,763 (53.18 %) of the records and 12,657 (11.46 %) were for juveniles between the ages of 18 and 20. *
During 2006, 836,131 missing person records were entered into the NCIC, an increase of 0.19 % from the 834,536 entered in 2005. Missing Person records cleared or canceled during the same period totaled 851,940. Reasons for these removals include: a law enforcement agency located the subject, the individual returned home, or the record had to be removed by the entering agency due to a determination that the record is invalid.
*This fulfills requirements as set forth in Public Law 101-647, 104 statute
4967, Crime Control Act of 1990 stating the Attorney General is to publish a
statistical summary of reports of missing children. This act was modified
April 7, 2003, by "Suzanne's Law" changing the definition of a missing
person to be under 21 years of age.

NCIC UNIDENTIFIED PERSON FILE
NCIC's Unidentified Person File came online in 1983. Records are retained
indefinitely, unless removed by the entering agency. The Unidentified Person
File contains records of
- unidentified deceased persons (Deceased - EUD),
- persons of any age who are living and unable to determine their identity (Living
- EUL), and
- unidentified catastrophe victims (Catastrophe Victim - EUV).
As of December 31, 2006, there were 6,208 unidentified person records in NCIC. Of these 1,413 (22.76 %) were entered in 2006. This is up 2.2 % from the 1,383 entries made into the file in 2005.* The records entered in 2006 consisted of 1,043 (73.81 %) deceased unidentified bodies, 7 (0.50 %) unidentified catastrophe victims, and 363 (25.69 %) living persons who could not ascertain their identity. There were 1,185 records canceled or cleared by the entering agency for reasons such as the subject being identified or the record being invalid. This was a 5.80 % decrease over the 1,258 records canceled in 2005.
*While use of the Unidentified Person File is increasing, it is not yet mandated by law to make entries into this file.
