"Nearly 1,800 Massachusetts sex offenders did not have a current address on file with the state’s registry, and close to 1,000 of those convicted criminals had not been classified by their likelihood to reoffend, according to an audit released Tuesday by state Auditor Suzanne M. Bump.
The state Sex Offender Registry Board neglected to verify addresses with agencies in the state’s executive branch — such as the departments of Revenue and Transitional Assistance — despite having agreements with those agencies to use their data to confirm addresses, and being required by law to do so, the audit found, according to a statement from Bump’s office.
The audit covered the period from July 1, 2015, to June 30, 2016."

Remember looking into North Carolina child sex offenders few yrs back
Was surprised to see a lot of offenders that came from other states
Might have to take a look again
I can just imagine how many missing in other states

Different states have different sex offender registration requirements, so offenders migrate to states with more lenient rules.

They migrate yes, to more lenient states and also to states with warmer weather where kids can be out and playing all year round. Also, where there is no statute of limitations. That is why have been saying we must have a National Age of Consent. None of this one state has this and one has that. It caters to the evilness of the sex offenders.
