Missing Person Photos
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.

Medical Conditions Marzo was treated for depression as a teenager, and also had several surgeries for hearing loss.
Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian female. Blonde hair, blue eyes. Marzo may use the last name Kraemer. She wears eyeglasses with oval-shaped silver wire frames. She has a dog bite scar on her left wrist and scarring on both ears from a tubal operation. Marzo's nose has been previously fractured. She has a tattoo on her back, possibly of a broken heart with a red rose through it. Her ears are double-pierced. Marzo's tonsils have been removed.
Details of Disappearance Marzo was last seen in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the late evening hours of December 15, 2003. That night she had been at a bar called Conversations in the 3500 block of west Villard Avenue.
Marzo's mother became alarmed when Marzo failed to make contact with the family after her grandfather died and her brother had an accident. She had to make several attempts to report her daughter missing; the police would not accept a report until June 2004.
Marzo's mother stated that Rodgers abused her frequently and Marzo had been severely beaten by him at least once; her nose was broken, her hair was pulled out and she was choked. He has a prior criminal record for weapons and domestic disorderly conduct charges.
Marzo became estranged from her family as a result of her relationship with Rodgers; her parents wanted her to leave him and told her they wouldn't see her until she did. Her coworkers at the Target store where she was employed later stated she was often bruised and seemed depressed.
Marzo filed charges against Rodgers after for domestic violence, then moved to Florida, where she stayed for two months. When she returned to Wisconsin, she resumed her relationship with Rodgers and failed to appear in court about the charges against him; they were dropped as a result, just three days before her disappearance. She was attending college at the time of her disappearance and had nearly completed the coursework for an accounting degree.
In October 2007, nearly four years after Marzo was last seen, Rodgers died by suicide. At the time of his death, he had been awaiting trial on charges of sexually assaulting another girlfriend. He had not been cooperative with the police in the investigation into Marzo's disappearance, and her family believes he may have been involved. Rodgers left behind a note where he denied having ever raped or killed anyone. A photograph of him is posted with this summary.
Marzo left behind an uncashed paycheck for $500. Since her disappearance her driver's license has expired and there's been no activity on her credit cards. She may have traveled to the Miami, Florida area after her disappearance, but her mother believes she is deceased. She graduated from Oak Creek High School in 1998, then got married at age 19, but the marriage ended within a short time.
arzo enjoys a variety of music. Her remains unsolved and foul play is suspected.
