More Than 2,000 People Went Missing in Idaho Last Year

The latest statistics on missing persons in Idaho were recently released and reveal the staggering numbers for 2024.

More than 2,000 people - including adults and children - went missing last year.

But, included in the numbers of those who went missing, we can also see the amazing number who were found and reunited with their families.

Statistically, More People Go Missing This Month in Idaho Than in Any Other

It’s fitting that the numbers were revealed on the day before April 1st and shared by ISP a week later in April, as this month is statistically the month where the most people go missing in Idaho.

The report shows that 201 records were entered in April of 2024, the most of any month. October had the second-highest numbers at 192, followed by September at 189 reported missing persons.

The good news is that while there were 2,022 missing persons reported last year, there were 2,030 ’purged records’. That left only 185 people still listed as missing in the Idaho database heading into 2025. That number is now, as of today, down to 180 missing persons in Idaho.

The most common age of missing persons (which includes runaways) is between the ages of 11 and 15 years. 16 and 17-year-old juveniles are the next most common group to go missing. Combined, those age groups made up 1,501 of the 2,022 who went missing in 2025.
