Missing person cases often neglected in Iowa
Posted: Aug 18, 2013 1:52 PM CDT Updated: Aug 18, 2013 1:52 PM CDT


DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - About 350 people are considered missing in Iowa on any given day, but most of those receive little attention from police

The Des Moines Register (http://dmreg.co/1djLytc ) investigated how missing-person cases are handled in Iowa and identified several concerns about the system.

Although every missing-person case could have a tragic ending, most are resolved simply when a runaway child returns home or an adult who left intentionally is found.

 
The newspaper found that many cases are largely ignored as runaways. And the missing-person database is often outdated and lacks detailed descriptions and photographs. Some police departments do little follow-up.
