A scan of WHAT?
good grief. Is text that hard to write?

Hit: “Target fled. Body unknown, scan required”

"Body Unknown" would make me think FSS.
Logic: It's the only thing that can scan multiple bodies.

Right but no system listed and FSS in original system shows nothing?
Possibly a bug?
Guessing it is. I see no way to resolve this since no system is listed. Awesome. Was hoping I was just stupid.
Try scanning Nav Beacon, it worked for me
I'll give that a shot. I'll have to guess on the system though. It's not listed in the mission now.
For me it was the same system that the mission gave you initially
Is this a space ship assasination? The title is as vague as the problem! 
If it leaps out of an attempt to fight it, it's still in the same system. You can either use the navigation beacon to locate where it is, or fly around in supercruise until you see it on the radar and then pull it out with a frame shift intidictor. If that doesn't work, logging out then in to put the mission back to the start point usually helps. You can also use a wake scanner on it's wake to see if it's moved to another system, but I just log out and in to get them back (and for the "Please drop down and follow me" NPCs that are supposed to tell you where they've gone, but fly into the central star or drop somewhere I can't see)

No, sorry. It's a legs mission. It immediately sent me a notice that the target fled the settlement I was plotted to. But after that the system and body information in the mission were replaced only with "Needs scan". The email message says a new location will be sent to me, but that's all there is.
Nav beacon it was. Thank you. For a small consultation fee i could help whip up some text to add to the mission that might make it more clear that there are next steps. Something like:
“Scan the Nav beacon in the original system to see if we can track down the target commander”.
“Scan the Nav beacon in the original system to see if we can track down the target commander”.
Were they still on the same planet or had they managed to escape elsewhere?
Just thinking that perhaps a planetary scan may have located them.
Pretty sure it does, had two of those yesterday and it's always the target in a downed ship on the same planet as the original location.
