“Something strange is going on because we should be able to determine
the cause of death in almost every instance, but we can't.”
- Coroners in interviews with investigator David Paulides
In 2011, retired police officer David Paulides launched the Can(ada)Am(erica) Missing Project, which catalogs cases of people who mysteriously disappear — or are found — across North America. David has released six books in his popular Missing 411 series, and now in 2017, a documentary film, Missing 411: The Movie, co-directed by his son, Ben Paulides. See Websites below.
July 28, 2017 Denver, Colorado - According to the FBI, in the year 2016 there were 647,435 missing people in the United States in all races — and split almost evenly in males and females - with slightly more males. [Males = 325, 129. Missing females = 322,263.] In the category of 17 or younger, nearly 60% were white and 40% were black. But keep in mind that many are teenage runaways that return to run away again and are counted over and over in the annual missing people statistics.
