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.

Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics African-American female. Brown hair, brown eyes. Smith's nicknames are Treecie and Trice. Her ears are pierced and she has a small mole on her cheek above her lip. She has tattoos on both arms, both wrists, her chest and her right hand, including a rose on the upper right side of her chest, the name "Autumn" between her right thumb and index finger, and the name "Ray-Ray" on her right arm.
Details of Disappearance Smith was last seen leaving her sister's Little Rock, Arkansas home at 11:30 p.m. on March 24, 2012. She was accompanied by her boyfriend, Michael Curtis Robinson, at the time of her disappearance.
The couple, who had only been dating for a few months, had a history of domestic violence, and Smith had an order of protection against Robinson.
He was charged with kidnapping and aggravated assault on March 6 and was released from jail that same day on a $250 bond. The victim in that was Smith; he had attacked her, broken her hand or wrist, and held her at gunpoint for over twelve hours. She escaped after he went out to get food.
A photo of Robinson is posted with this summary. Authorities stated he often carried a gun, had a criminal record for drug and weapons-related offenses, and had been jailed at least 11 times since 2000. One of his neighbors in the 11200 block of Mara Lynn Drive supposedly overheard him and Smith arguing at his apartment at 1:00 a.m. on March 25.
Robinson dropped out of sight at the same time Smith did, but he was eventually located and arrested on charges unrelated to Smith's . He hasn't provided any information that could led to her whereabouts. Robinson is now serving a five-year prison term for the assault he committed against Smith a few weeks prior to her disappearance.
Smith was halfway through a three-year term of probation when she disappeared, and after her disappearance she was listed as an absconder and a warrant was issued for her arrest. However, investigators don't believe she's running from the law; they believe foul play could have been involved in her .
It would be uncharacteristic of Smith to abandon her daughter. Her remains unsolved.
