Crossword Genius

Insignificant people, evidence of their murder missing? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nobodies

'insignificant people' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for nobodies that I've seen before include "Unimportant people" , "People without importance or authority" , "Ciphers" , "Insignificant people" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
