Bob Koester is in the process of putting together substantial SAR data from around the world - but mostly North America - related to lost person behavior. (He taught a class on this last month at the WA State SAR conference and the NASAR conference in TX.) Most prior studies were based on notably smaller samples. Hopefully the larger data input will provide us with a better / more reliable picture of potential behavior.

There have several studies of missing person behavior in relation to search.
These date back to the Syrotuk (?) books. Most of these are based on very
small numbers of cases that were resolved by finds and the subject's
movements could be recreated. These studies are the basis if the models in
Managing Search Operations (ERI), Managing the Search Function (NASAR),
Managing the Missing Person Incident (NASAR) and others. Search managers
are interested in very gross behavior-- which way do they go, and where do
they stop--not the intricacies of mental process.
