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.

He has never been heard from again. His mother reported him missing on April 27.Police tried to locate Crew, interviewing many people Legens knew, but stated witnesses did not want to cooperate because they were afraid of Legens. A photo of him is posted with this summary. He had a lengthy criminal record going back fifteen years.On May 28, a month after Crew disappeared, police tried to execute a search warrant on Legens's home. This wasn't in connection with Crew's , but rather, because a witness reported seeing a woman's dead body in a plastic storage container inside the house.Legens started shooting at the police when they arrived and was killed in the resulting shootout, and when police searched his home, they found the dead body the witness reported seeing. It was Legens's girlfriend Tanya Gould. She had been shot to death.Investigators are still not sure what happened to Crew, but without the life-sustaining medications he required, he could not have lived long. His remains unsolved and foul play is suspected.
