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.

Clothing/Jewelry Description Possibly white t-shirt with a brightly colored design on the front and the words "New Orleans" underneath, gray cut-off sweatpants, a gold bracelet, a gold necklace and a gold chain ankle bracelet.
Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian female. Brown hair, brown eyes. Kemberly wore clear braces on her teeth at the time of her 1997 disappearance. She has thick eyebrows and her ears are pierced. Her nickname is Kem. Her shoe size is 6 1/2.
Details of Disappearance Kemberly attended a softball game on the night of August 15, 1997, then visited her boyfriend and other friends. She left her boyfriend's house sometime between 11:00 and 11:45 p.m. to return to her father's residence, which was about a five-minute drive away, and her car pulled into the driveway at around midnight.
She has never been seen again, and none of her shoes disappeared with her. She vanished four days before she was due to start her senior year of high school. She planned to attend the University of South Alabama and major in physical therapy.
Kemberly's parents reported her as a missing person at 9:00 a.m. on August 17, two days after she was last seen. There was evidence of a struggle inside her bedroom and it's possible that she was been taken against her will.
Foul play is suspected by both the police and Kemberly's family. Her boyfriend and all her family members have been ruled out as suspects. Her personal belongings were left behind at the home, including her eyeglasses, her contacts, jewelry, and money.
Nine months after Kemberly's disappearance, on her eighteenth birthday, investigators searched a rural Walton County lake. They were acting on two tips that her body had been dumped there. The search lasted three days and turned up no clues relating to Kemberly's .
In 2001, a non-profit group in Texas searched Baptism Hole with cadaver dogs and got several hits. They dug up an engine block with a rope tied to it, but had to leave the site before they could excavate it completely. The next day the FBI brought in its own dogs and the animals gave no indication of smelling human remains, so there were no more searches conducted in that area.
In September 2006, investigators searched a sinkhole near Ponce de Leon, Florida for Kemberly's remains after receiving an anonymous tip directing them to that location. The search turned up no evidence and Kemberly's remains unsolved.
