A missing person is a person who has disappeared and whose status as alive or dead cannot be confirmed as their location and condition are unknown. A person may go missing through a voluntary disappearance, or else due to an accident, crime, death in a location where they cannot be found (such as at sea), or many other reasons. In most parts of the world, a missing person will usually be found quickly. While criminal abductions are some of the most widely reported missing person cases, these account for only 2 to 5 percent of missing children in Europe.
By contrast, some missing person cases remain unresolved for many years. Laws related to these cases are often complex since, in many jurisdictions, relatives and third parties may not deal with a person's assets until their death is considered proven by law and a formal death certificate issued. The situation, uncertainties, and lack of closure or a funeral resulting when a person goes missing may be extremely painful with long-lasting effects on family and friends.
A number of organizations seek to connect, share best practices, and disseminate information and images of missing children to improve the effectiveness of missing children investigations, including the International Commission on Missing Persons, the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), as well as national organizations, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in the US, Missing People in the UK, Child Focus in Belgium, and The Smile of the Child in Greece.

According to current statistics, 4,000 people in the United States go missing every day.
Sometimes a child suddenly vanishes from the bus stop or the local park or even from their own yard or bedroom. Or a teenager doesn�t return home after a walk to the neighborhood grocery store or a bike ride or a party with friends.
Other times, an adult is mysteriously absent from their job or neighbors haven�t seen them for several days, and family and friends haven�t heard from them either.

Crider, date, approximate 2017
Date Missing 03/25/2017
Missing From
Mansfield, Ohio
Missing Classification Endangered Missing
Sex Female
Race
White
Date of Birth 12/15/1978 (43)
Age 38 years old
Height and Weight 5'7 - 5'10, 170 - 185 pounds
Medical Conditions Crider was in poor health at the time of her disappearance and was in need of a lung transplant. She used oxygen most of the time, but was sometimes able to go without it for short periods. She has a history of drug abuse, and she needs daily medication. All her oxygen and medications were left behind.
Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian female. Brown hair, brown eyes. Crider has a tattoo of a Grateful Dead blue bear on her wrist. She has a nickel-sized brown birthmark on the inside of her left foot between the arch and the ankle.
Details of Disappearance Crider was last seen in Mansfield, Ohio on March 25, 2017. She has never been heard from again. She was separated from her husband, the father of her three teenage children, and living in an apartment in the 500 block of Allison Avenue at the time of her disappearance. She had moved in during the fall of 2016. Her boyfriend stated she left with someone she had met on the internet, leaving all her belongings behind, including her oxygen, medication and medical equipment.
She had no money and no car, and never contacted the oxygen delivery company to arrange to have her oxygen sent to a new address. After her disappearance, her boyfriend disposed of all her belongings. Several witnesses reported having seen Crider being pushed into her boyfriend's black truck as she was trying to get out, but these reports have not been confirmed.
Although they were separated, Crider had remained on good with her husband. He reported her missing on March 30. He had been unable to get in touch with her since the middle of the month, but he waited to report her missing because she had left for brief periods before and then returned.
It's possible Crider went to the Newark, Ohio area after her disappearance. Due to her state of health, there is grave concern for her safety; she could die without medical treatment. Her loved ones stated she was not suicidal, but she had spoken about dying and told her husband to take care of their children if anything happened to her.
Although Crider was battling drug addiction at the time of her disappearance, her family doesn't believe she overdosed, and she has never gone for this long without contacting loved ones. Her disappearance remains unsolved.
