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 Bracken was last seen on January 17, 2020. She left Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and got a ride to North Braddock, Pennsylvania, where she was supposed to meet Brandon Lordeone, a man she'd gotten to know online. They were meeting in person for the first time. She had her belongings in a backpack. She didn't have her cellular phone; it had broken a few days earlier and she hadn't replaced it.
Bracken's family reported her missing on February 10. Police spoke to Lordeone and he was cooperative; he stated he and Bracken did meet and spent the weekend together, and that she left to buy drugs, in the company of an African-American man driving a white Lexus with Ohio license plates. She has never been heard from again.
It's uncharacteristic of Bracken to leave without warning or to be out of touch with her family. After her disappearance, someone fraudulently used her Access card in North Braddock. Her remains unsolved.
