    Stats show that the US has about a 6% murder rate per 100k. That’s about 250k murders per year, give or take.

    And you’re talking about 4K bodies or 6k unsolved murders? Bro.

    Over 95% of murders are reported to the police in the USA. So yeah, not sure what you’re trying to show with those numbers, but like I said originally, murders in 1st world nations aren’t prone to even near the same level misinterpretation as say theft or even sexual assault (as most go unreported).

    Not even sure what compelled you to argue this.

    PS: just from a logical argument point of view, what good is a numerator without a denominator?

      You literally said if someone goes missing that people don’t let it go…when in fact they absolutely do. And it’s at an alarming rate…I don’t know why you’re annoyed at me with the numbers I have presented. Be pissed at the police.
