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 Dey was last seen in Lincoln, Nebraska on May 3, 2015, after leaving a friend's house near 23rd and S Streets. She was walking home alone that evening but never arrived. The weather was stormy that evening, with heavy winds.
A surveillance video in the Union Plaza area, owned by a local insurance company, showed Dey fall into Antelope Creek at 7:27 p.m. The creek was only three feet deep, but the current was strong and Dey couldn't swim. She lost her footing and was swept away.
An extensive search turned up no indication of her whereabouts. Antelope Creek flows into Salt Creek, which connects to the Platte River, which eventually joins the Missouri River and goes on into the Gulf of Mexico.
Dey was born and raised in India and moved to Nebraska to attend graduate school at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. She was studying biological sciences. Dey was raised in the Hindu religion, but began practicing Buddhism after she moved to the United States. She is presumed to have drowned.
