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.

Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian female. Blonde hair, green eyes. Hennagin's nickname is Lori (alternately spelled "Loree"). She may use the last name Martin.
Details of Disappearance Hennagin was reportedly involved with a robbery in early 1996 in Anchorage, Alaska. She and her boyfriend, Rusty Seaman, allegedly broke into the residence owned by his mother, Joan "Avis" McGahan. The couple reportedly stole a large amount of cocaine, jewelry and cash.
Authorities believe that Rusty's brother, Rocky Nestor Seaman, and McGahan planned to murder Hennagin in retaliation for the robbery. Jeffrey Lackey, an area drug dealer, testified that Rocky requested his assistance in the plan. Lackey stated that he accepted cocaine and Rocky forgave his monetary debt in exchange for his cooperation. Lackey said that Rocky instructed him to coerce Hennagin out into an open area near her residence in Kenai, Alaska on October 9, 1996.
Lackey testified that he followed Hennagin to a nearby K-Mart store during the day and pretended to be surprised when encountering her. She agreed to meet Lackey for drinks later that evening. He told authorities that he and Hennagin returned to her apartment afterwards and prepared crack cocaine, then walked to the nearby beach.
Lackey stated that he paged Rocky twice on a cellular phone to signal that Hennagin was in the area. He said Rocky arrived shortly after 12:00 a.m. on October 10 and proceeded to hit Hennagin once in his presence. Lackey said that he fled the scene after witnessing the incident. Hennagin has never been heard from again.
Rocky and McGahan were charged with drug trafficking in October 1997 and imprisoned. They were both charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to kidnap and murder Hennagin sometime afterwards. Lackey pleaded guilty to second-degree murder charges and testified against Rocky during his trial in early 2001.
A jury acquitted Rocky of the murder charges, but found him guilty of the two counts of conspiracy in April 2001. He was sentenced to 90 years in prison. Rocky has an extensive criminal history with numerous records of previous assaults.
Hennagin's remains have never been located. Her child was left in the custody of her former husband after her disappearance. Hennagin resided in Kenai since 1981.
