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.

Details of Disappearance Howard was last seen leaving Riverside Family Dentistry, where she worked as a dental hygienist, on Highway 78 in Riverside, Alabama at 1:00 p.m. on June 2, 2009. She has never been heard from again. After her disappearance, her vehicle was found abandoned at her workplace. The keys were in a plastic bag, lying in some weeds next to the dental office.
The day before she vanished, Howard asked her boss for three days off work. She said she wanted to take a short vacation. Her husband of eight years was unaware of this. Howard has an adult son, and had worked for the dental clinic for six years. She lived with her husband in Pell City, Alabama.
Howard's family believes it's possible her disappearance is connected in some way to criminal activity at her workplace; in 2011, her employer was indicted for fraud, money laundering, and identity theft. It hasn't been proven that this is related to her , however.
Howard's remains unsolved. Since she went missing, there hasn't been any activity on her cellular phone, bank accounts or credit cards. Although there's no evidence of foul play in her , it's uncharacteristic of her to be out of touch with her family. She was declared ly dead in 2014.
