missing people
Those not found
Missing people are individuals whose whereabouts are unknown and who cannot be located by those seeking them.
The term typically refers to persons reported to authorities—runaways, abduction victims, those lost in wilderness areas, or people who have disappeared under suspicious circumstances.
Police searched for missing people after the flood.
