MISSING PERSONS CASES

There is plenty of lore surrounding the Creepyverse, and a bunch to still be explained & uncovered. One such thing very important to the series is the several Missing Persons Cases from 1971-1997, which specifically saw a massive uptick in missing person cases from 1981-1996, to which, we don't know exactly why so many people went missing in that 15 year period. It's very possible that there were people going missing on Akrida long before the events of Origins in 1971, but there's nothing canonical yet to suggest it.
As far as we know, it's logical to assume that much more than 20 people could have gone missing here over the 26 years spanning from 71' to 97'. Most missing persons were said to be children or teenagers. There are several, several, missing person posters we know of.

These are just 4 out of many missing person posters in the Creepyverse. All 4 of these were part of the spree from 1981-1989 specifically. Gregory was specifically seen in the VHS tape, "10-31-1981 (a L.O.C.U.S.T vhs tape)", where he is shown to be trick r' treating on Halloween, when all of a sudden, he is snatched up by an unknown, 6 legged form of L.O.C.U.S.T.
