I don't see how it could happen that often and go unreported. The only way would be if the killings happened with the country finding out about it.

- londons_explore 8y agoA good proportion I suspect never get fully investigated. People 'going missing', dying of 'suicide', 'car crash', 'heart attack', etc. All of those are pretty trivial for a state to make happen anywhere else in the world with a low chance of being caught. I suspect there are also some where there is reasonable evidence a foreign state was involved, but the victim simply wasn't sufficiently noteworthy for the media to care, and the case not being worthy of getting high level politicians involved in. For a state, using the brief time the president has talking to another state president to discuss a missing person rather than finalizing a new trade deal is a bad move.
