Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : Whitmer was last seen by her mother in Springfield, Ohio on May 28, 2016. She'd gone to visit her mother for her mother's birthday. Whitmer normally kept in touch with her mother at least every three months, but after the birthday visit her mother never saw or heard from her again.
A local police officer who was familiar with Whitmer had seen her near Selma Road and York Street in Springfield; this is an area noted for its prostitution activity, and she has a previous history of prostitution. Whitmer's mother went to that location several times to look for her, but never saw her.
Whitmer's mother made several attempts to report her missing, but investigators refused to take a report until May 9, 2017, almost a year after she was last seen. Her whereabouts are unknown and her case remains unsolved.

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 not known. 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.
