Narrative:

This is not really a safety event but an ongoing problem with facilities east and south of ZMP. I could file one of these every week or two and will start filing them all. Aircraft X had a flight plan in the system that departed jfk enroute to ZZZ. It was on a very circuitous route most likely due to weather. The aircraft flight plan departed jfk and progressed through ZDC; ZJX; ZTL; ZME; and ZKC prior to entering ZMP airspace. The aircraft showed up overdue in our edst and we started to look for it. ZKC controller had no knowledge of the flight. I called aircraft X's company dispatch and they said the flight had been canceled. My issue is how does an aircraft flight plan go through 5 centers and numerous sectors and have every controller along the way either delete or ignore an overdue aircraft?training on recognizing an overdue aircraft in the edst and following up to find the aircraft.
