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.

She has a tattoo on her right shoulder of the name "Kimmie Sue" and a red rose with the name "Jack". Her nicknames are Kim, Kimmie and Kimmiesue. Jones wore her hair shoulder-length at the time of her disappearance, with bangs. She speaks with a quiet, raspy voice and has a shy disposition.
Details of Disappearance Jones was last seen at her apartment in the Pinewood Village apartment complex in the 2500 block of Beverly Street in Parkersburg, West Virginia at 11:00 p.m. on February 2, 2009.
She had spent the day with her ex-boyfriend, Jack Crone, their five-year-old daughter, and Crone's wife, and they all had had dinner together. Crone said he drove Jones back to her apartment, dropped her off in front of the building and drove away without checking to see whether she actually made it inside.

Jones had received a death benefit pension check as a result of her father's death, and it disappeared with her. After her disappearance, a stop payment was put on the check. No one ever attempted to cash or deposit it. Her family stated Jones was behaving normally just before she went missing.
There were no indications at her home that she had planned her disappearance; her calendar was marked with upcoming appointments, and she left all her personal belongings and clothing behind. She did not own a vehicle.
Jones is considered to be endangered because she is without her medication, and because of her high-risk lifestyle and extremely trusting nature. Foul play is suspected in her , which remains unsolved.
