I'm sure it's the same in any big city.

I'm glad I grew up in the Chicago suburbs .. I never disappeared once.

That would be 48 people every day. 17,000+ people every year. Please provide a link to your trusted source...

- Thanks, AW. I see you have stated that in other comments. I am simply asking for the source of the claim, as I do not believe it is accurate (although I'm sure claims like this boost their ratings!)

that statement is a little misleading and not quite true ... granted, it's based on the fact that the Chicago Police Department gets 17,000 missing person calls a year ... which breaks down to very close to 1 every 30 minutes ... but most of them are found, so they don't actually "disappear"

I'm not sure that is true. It sounds too "pat."

I did not know that but I wonder if that is tied in with the statistic that a Chicagoan emigrates to Canada or Mexico on the average of every thirty minutes.

I didn't, but it's not surprising at all. The cops are as criminal as the robbers.

I've been known to go missing quite a bit..

sometimes I really need to get away from it all.

don't think I'll visit Thug, Inc.(Chicago) though...it may be a permanent arrangement.

Please don't tell me it's because of the alligators in the sewer systems. I'd be more inclined to believe it's because people abandon the place and leave no forwarding address. Big cities, in my opinion, are good places to run away from.
