why dont we see enormous men on missing person posters

I look at the missing person poster
Another young girl with long hair, pretty face
One hundred and nineteen pounds
She looks like all of the other missing person posters

Why don’t we ever see grandmas on missing person posters?
Where are the posters with enormous men?
Why are no plain janes missing?
It is always the beauty queens
Petite and gorgeous
And small enough to be carried off
