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.

Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian female. Brown hair, brown eyes. Fullmer may use the last names Mendoza and/or Chiaratti. Her nickname is Angie. Her hair was shoulder-length at the time of her disappearance.
Details of Disappearance Fullmer was last seen in the company of her boyfriend, Thomas O'Connell. He said they had been drinking alcohol for much of the weekend and decided to take a drive to the Twin Pines area near Lake Siskiyou, west of Mount Shasta. They left at about 2:45 p.m.
The couple had an argument over tracked mud in the pickup truck and Fullmer left the vehicle. O'Connell says she walked away through the forest towards South Fork Road near an old logging road in the Twin Pines Area. He was cleaning out his pickup and thought he heard a car door slam and then an engine fading away; he assumed she'd gotten a ride from someone else.
O'Connell reported Fullmer missing at 2:45 a.m., eight hours after she was last seen. Authorities initially believed she had gotten lost in the forest and they looked for her there, but inclement weather hampered the search efforts. Now her disappearance is considered suspicious.Fullmer's mother suspects foul play was involved in her daughter's , but O'Connell is not considered a suspect in Fullmer's disappearance.
Investigators do not believe she left of her own accord, because before her disappearance she had purchased and wrapped Christmas presents, and she has not accessed her bank accounts or used her credit cards since she disappeared.
In August 2003, a man walking his dog found human female bone fragments in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest near the North Shore Road. This is near where Fullmer was last seen. Authorities initially believed the bones were hers, but they turned out to be cremains that had been scattered during a memorial ceremony.
At the time of her disappearance, Fullmer was the single mother of five daughters ranging in age from seven to seventeen, as well as another child she'd placed for adoption. Shortly before her disappearance, she asked her mother to care for the children if anything ever happened to her.
Fullmer was unemployed in December 2002, but had previously worked in a pizza parlor in Mount Shasta. She has a minor criminal record, but she kept in close contact with her family and it is uncharacteristic of her to leave without warning. Her remains unsolved.
