Where do all the people go?

The unusual thing of two little 10 year old girls from Soham disappearing at the same time, or the little 3 year old girl who disappeared after being neglected by her parents whilst holidaying in Portugal always rockets the ‘missing persons’ thing into the public eye.
But, we probably need to look at this a little bit closer. Of the ones that are reported, these hit a figure of around 150,000 each year disappear in the UK alone that are never found. 150,000? And that’s only the reported ones. Add on to that the ones that aren’t reported because there’s nobody who cares, and the figure is probably a lot greater.
If we had 150,000 people dying each year from a preventable disease, or being shot or stabbed to death, the country would be up in arms demanding something be done and done quickly.
How can 150,000 people just vanish? Is it really that possible to so easily dispose of a body that it never gets found? Do they get taken out of the country as slaves? Can so many people really fall into or under things by accident and never be found?
I mean, in the UK alone, we are talking about 400 people each day and every day just disappearing forever. Think about it. 400 people.
I mean, if we were a flock of sheep and our number was being systematically reduced as selected members of our flock were being plucked up, killed and prepared for food, leaving no trace for the rest of us to see, it would make some vague kind of sense.
400 people a day in the UK alone. What are we feeding? Some strange inter-dimensional species that we can’t see or perceive? The slave trade? Sex fiends? Murder fetishists?
More importantly, why aren’t we screaming and panicking about it?
I don’t get it.  Do you?

  1. Scary stuff. Maybe it's a secret programme of eradication being undertaken by central Government ?

  2. The possibilities (in no particular order):
    1. Murder
    2. Abduction for trafficking
    3. Abduction for arranged marriage abroad
    4. Deliberate disappearance to avoid debt
    5. Undeclared emigration for other reasons
    6. Resorting to living on the streets (for whatever reason)

    It would be fascinating to know exactly how the percentages of these play out. But I don't suppose we will ever know.
    You're right though – why doesn't this seem to be an issue on anyone's radar?
