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.

Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian female. Brown/blonde hair, blue eyes. Erwin may go by the initials J. C., the nickname Gina, or the last names Carfi and/or Arnold. Some agencies spell her first name "Janine." Erwin has a scar extending from her chest to her navel. She has several tattoos, including a ying-yang symbol and the astrological sign for cancer on her lower back, a green four-leaf clover on her right ankle, a winged heart on the back of her shoulder, a butterfly on her chest, cherries near her pelvis, the number 69 on her buttocks, a small dolphin on her right hip, and the word "PAT" on her abdomen.
Details of Disappearance Erwin was last seen by her family when she went to bed in her Melbourne, Florida home on March 12, 2006. Her loved ones last heard from her two days later, on March 14 at 12:30 a.m. She called her husband of four months, possibly from a pay phone, and said she was at a gas station on U.S. 1 near Grant, Florida.
Erwin asked her husband to ask her mother, who lived with the couple, to pick her up. She sounded frightened at the time. Erwin's mother went looking for her and searched for hours, stopping at gas stations on U.S. 1 until 4:00 a.m., but could not find her daughter. She has not been heard from since. Her husband reported her as a missing person on March 19.
There is a possibility that Erwin left of her own accord, and there were several unconfirmed sightings in the general area after her disappearance. She has previously frequented the cities of Fellsmere, Vero, Grant and Cocoa in Florida, and the Route 192 and Interstate 95 area of western Melbourne.
Erwin's family stated it is uncharacteristic of her to be out of regular contact with them. She left behind four children. Her remains unsolved.
