Okay, checking Wikipedia, we have 834,536 missing persons entries in the United States in 2005, with the US composing 4.5% of the world population. If we guessed 200,000 worldwide, vampire-related fatalities could be as much as 1% of the total.

Article claims 109,531 open files at the end of the year. Relative to that number, vampire-related fatalities would be 9%.
