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.

Landry has two burn scars, one above her right breast and one on the outside of her left forearm.
Details of Disappearance Landry was last seen in the 100 block of Laguna Lane,near Kaliste Saloom and Ferrell Roads, in Lafayette, Louisiana on May 23, 2017. She left home to go to a friend's house for a party but never arrived there and has never been heard from again. Since her disappearance her phone has been turned off. It's uncharacteristic of her to leave without warning.
On May 31, Malik Sheron Davis was arrested and charged with second-degree murder in Landry's . A photo of him is posted with this summary; he has a prior criminal record for drug charges and theft. In August 2019, the murder charge against Davis was dropped in a plea deal. He pleaded guilty to one count of obstruction of justice and was sentenced to ten years in prison.
At the same time as Davis made his plea deal, two additional suspects, Devan Dufour and Matthew Perez, were also charged with obstruction of justice. Photos of both of them are posted with this summary. They were two of Davis's roommates. The suspects could face forty years in prison if convicted.
According to Davis, he and Landry took methamphetamine on the day of her disappearance, then went to his home, where Dufour and Perez were. After Landry began acting erratically, Dufour injected her with heroin to calm her. Davis found her about 45 minutes later later, cold to the touch and without a pulse.
The three of them did not call 911 or perform any life-saving procedures. Instead, they disposed of the remaining heroin and the needle used to inject Landry, wrapped her body in a shower curtain and sleeping bag, and put it out in the garbage can for pickup. The can was emptied the next morning and its contents taken to a landfill. Authorities searched the landfill, but never found Landry's body.
Dufour and Perez are awaiting trial for obstruction of justice in Landry's presumed death. Foul play is suspected in her due to the circumstances involved.
