Скачать или смотреть Police Negligence in Missing Persons Cases — When Disappearances Are Ignored

Most missing person cases don’t fail because there’s no evidence. They fail because no one looks.

Thousands go missing every year.

But you don’t hear about most of them.

Why?

Because the system decides who’s worth looking for.

Police departments are overwhelmed.

They prioritize cases that make their stats look better.

Missing adults? Low priority.

Black youth in Chicago make up over 50% of missing cases — and get ignored the most.

Families are told their loved ones are runaways… addicts… immigrants… “probably left on their own.”

Investigations are delayed. Cases misclassified. Data missing.

In Chicago, nearly half of police reports didn’t even have the arrival time recorded.

By the time anyone pays attention, it’s too late.

Predators use those delays to their advantage.

In Toronto, Bruce McArthur murdered for years.

Victims’ families warned police.

But their reports weren’t taken seriously.

Because the first 48 hours matter.

And they were wasted.

Investigative reporters are putting the truth out there.

They combed through records. Talked to families. Tracked how the system failed — again and again.

They proved what communities already knew.

That patterns were ignored.

That recognition came too late.

And that silence is dangerous.

If you think these stories matter, watch the full investigation.

Share it.

The more people who know, the harder it is to look away.

Because when the system doesn’t care if someone’s gone — someone else always takes advantage.
