(This database is for archival purposes only. It was taken from public records from police agency incident reports and/or the Washington State Patrol's database on active missing persons cases)
More than 2,000 people are reported missing in Washington state at any given time. This is a list of the more than 700 who had been missing for at least a year as of December 2002.
The list is based on reports from police departments and the Washington State Patrol, as of December 2002.
While it is the most complete list ever compiled from available records, it is by no means complete. In a yearlong investigation, the Post-Intelligencer found that many reports were incomplete, unverified and often purged by mistake.
In some cases, the subject of the report may have turned up a few days later, but law enforcement agencies failed to follow up and close the case.
Specific information about the individuals came from the police report itself. In some cases, the reporting agency deleted the name of a missing juvenile.
If you have any information about anyone on this list, please e-mail citydesk@seattlepi.com.
