I'm not sure what the procedures were for entering the "missing" status 
code, but it seems like we should also check the statdate for these 
animals if we do eventually change their status to "alive".  Right? 
Wasn't a slightly different interpretation of statdate used in 
conjunction with the code for "missing" back then?
