Influenced by Indigenous grassroots efforts and the growing momentum of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons movements across the country, states have begun enacting legislation to recognize this issue and call for research on the scope of missing Indigenous persons. In response to one such call, we conducted an exploratory and descriptive study collecting (1) three point-in-time counts of missing persons in Idaho and (2) annual National Crime Information Center (NCIC) missing person entry data. Point-in-time count findings indicate that Indigenous persons are disproportionately represented among Idaho's missing persons, that most Indigenous missing persons are females, and about half are children (under 21). In comparing the publicly accessible missing persons lists, we find the state clearinghouse list is more comprehensive than the two national lists. Findings from the annual NCIC entry data demonstrate that a higher percentage of Idaho's entries are for Indigenous persons compared with the percentage nationwide. These findings are discussed in the context of relevant existing research, along with implications for policy.
