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.

Janteyl's first name is pronounced "Jon-tel."
Details of Disappearance Janteyl disappeared from Newark, Delaware on February 3, 2010. She left school early that day because she didn't feel well. She apparently did arrive at her family's home at Autumn Park Apartments in the 30 block of Winterhaven Drive, but when her brother came to pick her up, she was gone. Her mother reported her missing at 10:00 p.m.
The apartment door was unlocked and there was no indication of forced entry or a struggle. Nothing was missing, not even Janteyl's eyeglasses, purse or winter clothes. Her family believes she left the apartment voluntarily, intending to be back soon, but something prevented her from returning.
The last call to Janteyl's cellular phone was from the father of her unborn child, a 26-year-old man who has not been publicly named, and her phone last pinged near the man's mother's house. This individual has been interviewed by police and hasn't been named as a suspect in her .
Her family stated they had accepted Janteyl's pregnancy and were supportive of her decision to keep the baby, and they don't believe she ran away from home. She had run away from home one time before, but had returned home very quickly.
She may still be in the local area, or she may be in Wilmington, Delaware; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Maryland or New York. She may be in the company of an adult male. Her remains unsolved.
