A spike/ drop in numbers does not necessarily mean an increase in missing and unidentified, it can means that more cases are being entered/ removed into the system.

Older cases are often added to the NCIC years after the actual event initially took place.
Often cases are often purged and / or expire.

If you have a missing loved one, it is essential to make sure the case has been listed with the NCIC.
