Canada: New missing and UID index launching in 2013

A new index called the National Centre for Missing Persons and Unidentified Remains would store descriptive information on these cases and allow for them to be compared nationally for the first time when it launches in late 2013, but it won’t include DNA.

Sadly, I'm not surprised Canada's attempt at a national missing persons/unidentified remains data-bank will be inadequate.

I noticed something very strange a few days ago on the OPP site for unidentified remains - it's down to 57 from about 190 when it began in 2006. I sent an e-mail 2 days ago asking why it's been pared down, but did not receive an answer. If the OPP will transfer the info to the new inadequate database that won't be up and running for up to a year from now, what is the plan in the meantime?
