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 Caucasian female. Brown hair, green eyes. Barbara has a linear scar on her lower abdomen. Her hair was cut short at the time of her disappearance. Her maiden name is Gibson and her previous married name is Huber.
Details of Disappearance Barbara was last seen at her apartment in the 1000 block of Alice Street in Zanesville, Ohio on January 30, 1985. After she came home from work, her ex-husband, Jeff Frame, came over and said she had go see her divorce attorney immediately and sign papers. (Their divorce had been finalized just six weeks earlier.)
Barbara told her three children she would go to the meeting, buy groceries, visit her mother in the hospital and then talk to her landlord about some damage to their apartment. Then she would come home and cook dinner. She left home at 5:00 p.m. She never returned, and it turned out she did not really have an appointment at her attorney's office. She has never been heard from again.
The day after her disappearance, her car was found abandoned in the back of the parking lot on Linden Avenue. This was across the street from United Technologies, the company where she worked, but the car wasn't parked where she would have normally parked it. Prior to her disappearance, she had gone five years at work without a single absence.
According to Barbara and Jeff's daughter, Jeff was physically abusive towards Barbara and had threatened her life more than once. He lived within eyesight of her new apartment, and even after their divorce was final he would come over every day and try to convince her to return to him; their daughter described his behavior as stalking. After Barbara's disappearance, Jeff stopped coming to her home and instead began harassing her family members.
He took two polygraph tests about Barbara's disappearance, but the results for both were inconclusive. Someone later reported that Jeff had come to him to ask for drugs that would interfere with the polygraph results. After Barbara went missing, Jeff was in trouble with the law numerous times and spent time in prison.
Barbara's loved ones don't believe she would have left without warning, and they described her as a devoted mother who took good care of her children and wouldn't have abandoned them. Her mother was dying of cancer at the time of her disappearance. Her remains unsolved.
