I can't find anything about microchips in current use in humans that are used as tracking devices, anywhere. What countries are these?

I've long thought it was a tragedy how little we hear about missing or murdered people in the black community. We don't even see it much on true crime shows such as 48 Hours or all the various shows on ID Channel. I have noticed there is an improvement of that lately, especially with shows like Cold Justice on TNT.

I've always assumed white people were more apt to go to the police and the media to make a big appeal, or put pressure on the police to follow up on these cases. Actually though, it seems to be an economic thing rather than a purely racial thing because a poor white family with a missing daughter is just as likely to have the police dismiss it as a runaway case or not give it high priority. Look at the oldest girl kidnapped and held for years by Ariel Castro in Cleveland. No one even knew who she was or recognized her because the police categorized her as a runaway and her mother gave up way too soon.
