The missing

A PERSON is reported missing in Dumfries and Galloway every three days. And police in the region say they had over 66 missing people cases reported to them in the first six months of this year.

As a result, officers this week explained more about the process and the subsequent investigation when someone goes missing.

A spokesman said: “We risk assess every missing person report — each time we ask a load of questions that help us understand who the missing person is, why they may have gone missing, where they might have gone and what has already been done to look for them. We also look at the time of year, the weather, how long they have been missing and whether they have been missing before.
