According to the statistics published on the website of the National Search Commission, at 4:41 p.m. on May 16, the historical figure of 100,001 missing and unaccounted for missing people was reached.

This registry, which is updated in real-time, reported 99,930 people at midnight last Sunday, May 15th, which means that, by Monday, May 16th, 70 new cases of missing persons were added.

If you add the missing people who have been found, the figure rises to 245,513.

The Segob has recognized that Mexico is experiencing a serious crisis in terms of disappearances, which is why in this administration the National Search Commission was reactivated, under the direction of Karla Quintana Osuna, who took office in February 2019.
