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.

Christine Green
Christine, date, approximate 1985; Age-progression to age 51 (date, approximate 2020)
Date Missing 04/23/1985
Missing From
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Missing Classification Endangered Missing
Sex Female
Race
Black
Date of Birth 03/28/1969 (53)
Age 16 years old
Height and Weight 5'0, 90 pounds
Clothing/Jewelry Description A pink blouse, a blue vest, jeans and black shoes.
Medical Conditions Christine may have been pregnant at the time of her April 1985 disappearance, but this hasn't been confirmed. She had her left kidney removed in 1984 and, if she developed a fever, would have needed medication.
Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics African-American female. Black hair, brown eyes. Christine's nicknames are Tina and Dinky (may be spelled "Dinkie"). Some agencies spell her last name "Christinee." She has a surgical scar on her left side from a July 1984 nephrectomy.
Details of Disappearance Christine was last seen leaving her family's home on Greenway Avenue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at 8:00 a.m. on April 23, 1985. She was supposed to catch the Woodland Avenue trolley and go to Bartram High School for the day's classes, but never arrived. Christine has never been seen again.
Christine was a good student in 1985 and didn't have a history of being late or absent from school. She was close to her seven siblings and her parents; her mother was ill and bedridden at the time of her disappearance.
There is speculation that she ran away due to a possible pregnancy, but her loved ones stated she had never run before and always kept her family informed of her whereabouts.
Christine is still listed as an endangered runaway with some agencies, but police believe her may be related to the disappearance of Allen Briscoe, also a Bartram High School student, who vanished later in 1985. Both s remain unsolved.
