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.

Date Missing 07/26/2015
Missing From
Yakima, Washington
Missing Classification Endangered Missing
Sex Male
Race
White
Date of Birth 05/02/1991 (31)
Age 24 years old
Height and Weight 5'5 - 5'7, 150 - 170 pounds
Clothing/Jewelry Description Possibly a green jacket, a black t-shirt with the word "Metallica" in white letters on the front, jeans and gray Nike or Adidas sneakers.
Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian male. Sandy brown hair, green eyes. Turner's nickname is Cooter. He normally keeps his hair short and neatly trimmed and may have a mustache and a two-inch goatee. He has a scar on his left wrist and a scar on his abdomen. His ears and tongue are pierced, but he had stopped wearing his earrings and tongue ring prior to his disappearance. Turner has the following tattoos: the name "Natilie" with flames and barbed wire on his right bicep, three skulls with swords going through them on his left bicep, and a tribal stamp on the inside of his upper left arm. Photos of his tattoos are posted with this summary. Turner has previously fractured his left foot and he smokes cigarettes.
Details of Disappearance Turner was last seen at his home in Yakima, Washington at 9:00 p.m. on July 26, 2015. He shared the residence with his father and paternal grandmother. Turner had been out most of the day, but came home in the evening to take a shower, change some clothes and have something to eat.
He left the house, saying they'd see him tomorrow, and he has never been been heard from again. Since July 28, two days after he went missing, all calls to his cellular phone have gone straight to voice mail.
Turner left behind a young daughter. Although he has a history of methamphetamine use and was probably using drugs and associating with other users at the time of his disappearance, it's uncharacteristic of him to leave without warning; he rarely spent the night away from home. His family believes he met with foul play.
Two other young men disappeared from Yakima in the same month; one was later found alive in another state, and the other,Chad Stotz-Gomez, is still missing. The two men knew each other and there have been rumors that Turner's and Stotz-Gomez's disappearances are connected, but police haven't found any hard evidence of this. Turner's remains unsolved.
