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.

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.

Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian female. Brown hair, brown eyes. Klett has a tattoo on her ankle and a tattoo on her upper right breast.
Details of Disappearance Klett was last seen in Hollywood, Florida during the early morning of October 31, 2004. She was accompanied by her boyfriend, Morgan Antonio Bolanos, at the time. Bolanos is the father of three of Klett's five children. A photo of him is posted with this summary.
Klett and Bolanos met in March 1998 and violence surfaced in the relationship within months. In September 1998, Bolanos was charged with attacking Klett while she was pregnant. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to probation.
Their relationship remained volatile and Bolanos was jealous and controlling; he kept track of the mileage on Klett's car and repeatedly accused her of infidelity. Her family had been trying to convince her to leave him.
Bolanos had allegedly assaulted Klett in June 2004 and she was hospitalized for ten days as a result. She later said he choked her until she blacked out, allowed her to regain consciousness and then choked her again. He was charged with assaulting her and was supposed to be under house arrest while awaiting trial, and was ordered not to contact her.
However, Bolanos cut off his electronic monitoring bracelet and went to see Klett anyway. By then she had recanted her statements about him attacking her.
Klett left her children with a relative and went out with Bolanos. She invited a friend along, telling her friend she didn't want to be alone with Bolanos. The three of them went to various bars until 2:30 a.m., then went back to her friend's apartment. Klett and Bolanos were arguing by this time. This is the last time anyone saw her.
Bolanos disappeared on November 1, the day after Klett was last seen. Ten days later, he was arrested in Orlando, Florida. Klett was not with him and he denied any knowledge of her whereabouts. He was jailed for violating his house arrest but has not been charged in connection with Klett's disappearance.
Foul play is strongly suspected in Klett's and Bolanos is the prime suspect in her disappearance. She worked the night shift as a waitress in 2004. Her remains unsolved.
