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.
Resources for Missing Persons
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 Ali was last seen at approximately 12:00 a.m. on February 3, 2006 at her residence in the 200 block of Loraine Court in Tallahassee, Florida. She has never been heard from again.
Ali and her husband, James Gilmore, were having marital problems at the time she went missing. He had moved out of their home and she was seeing another man. Ali wanted to try to reconcile with James and the couple was undergoing counseling together.
They had a counseling appointment together for the day after Ali's disappearance, but both of them missed it. That day, James left a message at his wife's workplace, apologizing for missing the session and saying he had overslept. James has passed a voice stress test about Ali's disappearance and has cooperated fully with investigators.
Authorities believe Ali disappeared under suspicious circumstances and may have met with foul play.
She was excited and happy about the upcoming birth of her baby and believed she would get back together with James, and her loved ones describe her as a responsible person who would not have left without telling anyone. Ali had had a miscarriage once before and was especially careful with her pregnancy as a result; for instance, she did not want to carry heavy items or walk up stairs.
Ali is a graduate of Jupiter High School and Florida A&M University. At the time of her disappearance, she worked for the Florida Department of Health and part time for the Publix bakery. Her remains unsolved.
