Nearly half a million children are reported missing each year in the United States.
Averaged out across all of the cities, towns, and the like, that comes out to about four missing kids per populated area per year.
Fortunately, all but a tiny handful, about twelve thousand, or one for every nine towns, turn up unharmed, and only a hundredth of a percent, or about one kid every two thousand one hundred sixty towns.
is found murdered.
Averages are great for breaking big statistics down into numbers that are easier to understand, but obviously nothing really works that way.
More kids go missing in Texas than in the other states, for example.
Almost none go missing in South Dakota.
More children are found safely in New York than almost anywhere else.
And in the small town of Dorton Bluffs, not one missing child has ever been found alive.
They lose their four per year pretty regularly.
There's almost never been a year where at least two didn't disappear.
Two thousand fifteen was particularly bad and ten kids went missing.
The police records for the town only go back to nineteen ninety six when a fire burned down the station one night.
But the memories of the families there go back a lot longer.
Children who vanish in Dorton Bluffs are rarely seen again.
Those who are discovered, for the most part, the families wish they hadn't been.
Statistical improbabilities happen, of course.
However, to the eyes of Felix Freeman, an investigator in the FBI's child abduction and serial killer unit, these disappearances had all of the hallmarks of an uncaught killer.
The victims were all teenagers or younger, with most being between twelve and sixteen.
The town was in a remote geographic area with plenty of unoccupied land, and most interestingly, they seemed to happen around the same two times each year, right at the beginning of both spring and fall.
