The article also says that of those 10,000,000 roughly 500,000 remain missing. Meaning that most of them turn up eventually. 500,000 is still a large number though, don't get me wrong.

Some cases are probably due to people simply "running away". Weather it is the tradional version with a child running away or a little more elaborate of a spouse running away. Some people get tired of their lot in life and want to start over somewhere new.
I would imagine a lot of cases are criminal as well. But there is also probably a more sinister, less PC explanation for others too.

Their must be a vast number of unreported crimes and abductions going on.

No... no there aren't.
Look into the actual numbers. The "millions go missing" statement is a massive misinterpretation of reports.
