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 Guyn was last seen driving away from the First Christian Church in the 800 block of North Country Club Drive in Mesa, Arizona on October 9, 1969. She was en route to her apartment in Phoenix, Arizona, but never arrived there. She was supposed to have dinner with her roommate that night, but never kept the appointment. She has never been heard from again.
Her dark blue 1968 Volkswagen was abandoned in a parking lot in the 3600 block of North 52nd Street in Phoenix. Authorities determined it was parked there sometime on October 10.
On October 13, an unidentified man using a fictitious name called a towing service, said the Volkswagen was his and had broken down, and asked that it be picked up. The towing company stored the call until October 28, then notified the police about it. The car was, in fact, in operable condition.
When the police got her car, her diary and address book were inside it. According to authorities, sometimes the diary entries were in neat writing, but other times the handwriting was messy and illegible, as if Guyn was upset about something. They stated she had many friends and acquaintances who confided in her about their problems, and she may have been been upset about their issues.
At the time of her disappearance, Guyn was a music major at Arizona State University, a choir leader at First Christian Church, and a piano teacher at Ricketts Music Studio. She had only $10 in cash on her on the day when she went missing, and she left behind all her clothing and personal belongings. Her remains unsolved.
