Blond hair, blue/green eyes. Haynes had minor acne at the time of his disappearance. Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : Haynes moved from San Francisco, California to Boulder, Colorado in late July of 1981 to attend the University of Colorado. He arrived in Colorado on July 22. The next day, he called his father, asked for money and promised to keep in touch. Haynes called a friend on July 24. He was never heard from again. On July 26, a sheriff's deputy saw Haynes's car, a beige two-door 1981 Subaru hatchback with the California license plate number 1CPK205, off a county road in the small town of Nederland, Colorado. The windows were rolled down even though it was raining. Since Haynes was not reported missing until August 10, police had no reason to be suspicious about the vehicle and did not pick it up. A few days later, when the police returned to the scene where it was seen, the vehicle was gone. It has never been seen again and neither has Haynes. On the way from San Francisco to Boulder, Haynes had picked up a hitchhiker, who later told police that Haynes mentioned plans to buy marijuana in Boulder. The hitchhiker is not considered a suspect in Haynes's disappearance, but his information suggests that drugs may have been a factor in his case. Some speculate that Haynes ran afoul of a drug dealer in Boulder and was murdered as a result. Another theory is that Haynes joined a religious cult that was active in the area at the time. No evidence has been found to support any hypothesis, however. Haynes's father petitioned to have his son declared legally dead in Contra Costa, California in June of 1982. The petition was granted in March 1983. Haynes's sister is still looking for him. His Social Security number was thought to have been used in California in the late 1990s, but this turned out to be a clerical error. Some of Haynes's loved ones believe he stAge at the time of disappearance: d his disappearance for unknown reasons; others say he would have never left his family and probably met with foul play. His case remains unsolved.

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�5% 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. Several organizations seek to connect, share best practices, and disseminate information and imAge at the time of disappearance: s 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.
