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.

Details of Disappearance Rayborn was last seen after leaving his mother's residence in Wesson, Mississippi on September 27, 2010. He is believed to have been traveling on foot from Pike County, Mississippi in the direction of Franklinton, Louisiana at the time of his disappearance. His truck was found abandoned in Pike County.
He was staying with his mother in Wesson, but he was on probation in Covington, Louisiana and had to report to his probation officer every thirty days. September 28 was one of the days Rayborn was supposed to see the officer. He never showed up for the meeting and has never been heard from again.
According to Rayborn's mother, he had a girlfriend or ex-girlfriend in Louisiana at the time of his disappearance, whom he was deeply in love with and may have tried to visit. It's unclear whether he saw her around the time of his disappearance. His mother reported him missing on November 23, almost two months after he was last seen.
Rayborn's mother believes he's deceased, as she doesn't think he would have walked out of his life without telling someone. His remains unsolved.
