Every year, an average of 1,000 missing adults are found dead. There are also 5,000 cases of 'adult missing unsolved' that have not been resolved for more than 5 years after a missing person report is filed, raising the need for active initial searches for missing adults. The average time to find a missing adult is 64.99 hours, twice as long as a child (29.30 hours), and the lack of police station missing persons teams and manpower reduction are also pointed out. Experts suggest improvements such as strengthening active initial searches for missing adults and establishing legal grounds.
