It’s impossible to put an exact number on the amount of stranger abductions in the US in the 1980s. Child Find, a missing children organisation, suggested the number was roughly 600 per year, with the FBI reporting 67 cases and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children holding records for 142 cases of stranger abduction. Law enforcements suggested that 95% of missing children in the 1980s were runaway teens, who typically returned home within 3 days. The majority of the rest of that proportion are parental abductions who are in custody disputes and only a small minority of missing children are actually abducted by a complete stranger.
