In June 2018, eighteen-year-old Joshua Rahae Peterkin was arrested in his hometown of Dallas, Texas and charged with interference with custody in Ciarra's case. They had met online and Ciarra arranged for Peterkin to drive to Alabama and get her. When interviewed, he admitted he'd taken Ciarra to Texas and that she'd been staying with him, but said she left the day before his arrest. Investigators stated Ciarra had been active on social media since her disappearance and they believed she was in hiding, possibly still in the Dallas area.

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.
