He called his parents twice that evening and told them he was going to harm himself and wanted to say goodbye to them. The previous day, he had told his girlfriend he was thinking of overdosing on pills. His cellular phone pinged off a tower near Lake of the Woods, Oregon at 8:00 p.m., but this was the last sign of him. He has never been heard from again. Perdue may be driving a red two-door 1998 Honda Civic with the Oregon license plate number XVB615, tinted windows, silver rims and no spoiler. A photo of a similar car is posted with this case summary. Perdue enjoys driving long distances to relieve stress, and he'd told his family he wanted to get out of town. He wasn't known to be involved with drugs or alcohol, and he played sports locally at the time of his disappearance. An extensive search of the area turned up no indication of his whereabouts, and Perdue's case remains unsolved. His mother hopes he left of his own accord and will contact his family when he is ready.

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�5% 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. Several organizations seek to connect, share best practices, and disseminate information and imAge at the time of disappearance: s 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. |
