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.

He often uses his hands when speaking and he usually wears sunglasses when outdoors. Moreno does not smoke, nor does he drink alcoholic beverages.
Details of Disappearance Moreno was last seen having lunch at the 524 Restaurant on Northgate Boulevard in Sacramento, California at approximately 11:45 a.m. on August 6, 1998.
Moreno may have been seen at the Home Depot on Truxel Road in Sacramento at approximately 12:15 p.m. that day, but this sighting is unconfirmed. An employee at the store stated that he believed Moreno was spotted in the plywood lumber section with an unidentified, well-dressed African-American male.
Moreno's white 1997 Nissan Pathfinder with the California license plate number 3VlP084 may have been seen traveling south on Interstate 99 between Stockton and Modesto, California on August 7, 1998, one day after he was last seen. It is not known if the vehicle actually belonged to Moreno or if he was driving it at the time. Moreno has never been seen again and the Pathfinder has not been located.
Moreno was scheduled to open his new restaurant, El Mansion Rio, in the 2100 block of Garden Highway in Sacramento on August 8, 1998, two days after his disappearance. He had borrowed heavily to finance the restaurant and had been working towards its opening for four years. It was sold to another owner after his disappearance and renamed.
Authorities said that Moreno withdrew $200 from his bank account prior to his disappearance, but the remainder of his funds were untouched. He also left $800 on his bedroom dresser the day he disappeared.
Moreno's credit cards and cellular phone have not been used since August 1998. His family does not believe he left of his own accord. He is twice divorced, but he had amicable relationships with both ex-wives and his loved ones do not believe he would have abandoned his elderly parents, teenage daughter and eleven siblings.
After Moreno's disappearance there were several tips that he was living in Mexico, but none of the leads panned out and his family does not believe he would have abandoned them and his restaurant. His remains unsolved and authorities believe he is deceased.
