Missing Person Photos
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.

This is near Park Avenue, where he had lived for twelve years prior to his disappearance. The last time he used his cellular phone was at 12:11 p.m.
Berry was placed on probation a year before his disappearance and wasn't allowed to have guns in his home. He gave his two handguns to a friend, Brent P. England, to keep and, according to his father, he was en route to England's house to collect the guns when he disappeared. He has never been heard from again.

England admitted he saw Berry on the day of his disappearance and invited him into his home. He says he told Berry he'd pawned the guns, made arrangements to pay him, then saw Berry drive away from his residence. He stated Berry once hurt his leg while they were turkey hunting together, and that's how the blood got in his trunk.
England was found not guilty at his trial in March 2010. Authorities stated the investigation into Berry's disappearance would continue, however.
Berry graduated from North Vigo High School. His hobbies include paintball and doing bicycle tricks. Foul play is suspected in his due to the circumstances involved.
