Wanted advice: what recourse for the families of the missing?

Every year, thousands of people go missing around the world.
Voluntary disappearance, running away, kidnapping, displacement due to armed conflicts ... the reasons are various and numerous.
In France, they are approximately 70,000, major or minor, whose names are added to the file of wanted persons of the Ministry of the Interior.
Publicity
While many cases are solved, many people cannot be found, leaving families and friends destitute.
Posters on the walls, photos in newspapers or on social networks, TV shows ... so many means exploited by families to search for their missing loved one, leaving us to witness their powerlessness.
Why do so many cases still remain unsolved?
How to improve justice and help families?
