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 Greub was last seen in the Cloud Peak Wilderness in the Bighorn Mountains in Johnson County, Wyoming on August 10, 1976. She was hiking with two female friends and decided to rest near the trailhead while the others climbed Cloud Peak without her. When they returned at 5:00 p.m., she was gone. She wasn't carrying any supplies when she disappeared, only candy.
Because Greub was having marital problems at the time of her disappearance, there was speculation that she left of her own accord. She lived in Casper, Wyoming at the time of her disappearance.
An extensive search, involving 200 to 300 people and covering about eighty square miles, turned up no indication of her whereabouts, and the search efforts were called off after two weeks. There has been no indication of Greub's whereabouts since 1976.
