MO SB1087

Establishes the Office of Missing Persons Advocate within the Office of Administration, led by a director and deputy director appointed by the governor for six-year terms, to assist families in communicating with law enforcement, coroners, and medical examiners regarding missing persons cases.

Expands the definition of "high risk missing person" to include anyone missing more than 30 days and any other characteristics law enforcement deems indicative of risk, while prohibiting agencies from refusing missing person reports based on the person's age, length of time missing, lack of foul play indicators, or voluntary disappearance circumstances.

Requires law enforcement to enter high risk missing person reports into NCIC within 2 hours of determination and all other reports within 24 hours, and mandates collection of DNA samples, dental records, fingerprints, and medical records if a person remains missing after 30 days.

Directs county coroners and medical examiners to obtain skeletal X-rays, DNA samples from tissue, bone, or hair, and dental examinations for unidentified deceased persons, with information entered into national databases within 24 hours for NCIC and 5 business days for DNA profiles.

Authorizes the Office of Missing Persons Advocate to access law enforcement case files and coroner records, conduct county-by-county reviews to ensure database entries are complete, establish complaint procedures for families, and recommend policy changes to the legislature and governor.
