Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : Schuhmann is from Louisville, Kentucky and was on vacation when she was last seen in St. John, Virgin Islands on September 15, 2019.

On September 20, her rental yellow Jeep Wrangler with the license plate number JAR-693 was found at a parking lot in the Salt Pond area of Virgin Islands National Park. Her backpack with her identification inside was found near the edge of a cliff on top of Ram Hill Trail in a remote area of the park. Authorities don't believe she fell from the cliff, as most of the area below Ram Head is jagged rocks, not water, and if anyone had fallen their body would have been found.
An extensive search of the park turned up no indication of Schuhmann's whereabouts. 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.
