Not to be a dick, but I have absolutely no concept of missing children densities for any given location - anywhere. My immediate thought is, how does 123/40 compare with similar locations based on like-demographics? Is this high? Is this low? Is this normal? I have no basis for comparison.
This is the area that my family is from. For those not familiar, I don't believe my family is involved in any abuse of non-family members. I do have a celebrity family member who is a recognizable household name and face and is a disinformation shill. There are not a lot of people in McLean. It's filled with neighborhoods of "luxury homes" (what most of us know as McMansions) with mid-sized yards and small wooded areas with creeks and hills. The streets are actually winding roads, barely wide enough to support two cars. Rich people pretending they're rural.
I very much doubt the 123 kids would still be in the area. They would definitely be noticed. If anyone cared.
I'm going to put this additional information here as I can't make a post since it's not directly PG related. One of my family members was recently in a documentary, presenting as a victim. This particular person was not bad, or an abuser, but notably left out information which made the story appear to be something it wasn't. I would advise all of you to be critical when reading and watching media. Even people who tell their personal stories (I see the irony here) are only telling you what they want you to know. If possible, I would go behind any account and try to find a version told by some other person. If something seems to be missing, something is wrong.
Also depends on the relative density of people as well. 40 miles might not be a lot if you live in a rural area, but 40 miles is a huuuge area that encompasses all of DC, most of Annapolis and a lot of Baltimore.

Can you please provide some additional insight?

Yeah, you need a baseline to make a comparison. This applies to other things reported on here as well.
XKCD had a good example of this. https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/heatmap.png

Yes we are sure - on the whole pizzagate business. Now what are we going to do about it?

Kind of an interesting internet tool I found.
