Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : Layman was last seen at America's Best Value Inn & Suites in the 400 block of Garden of the Gods Road in Colorado Springs, Colorado on April 22, 2015. On April 30, she talked to her father on her cellular phone. She has never been heard from again. Her phone last pinged on May 11, near north Nevada Avenue. In June 2015, Layman's gold 2002 Kia Spectra with the Colorado license plate number 687TOY was found abandoned at Pebble Creek Apartments in the 2000 block of south El Paso Avenue in southwestern Colorado Springs She lived out of her car, but when it was found it had been emptied, and she didn't know anyone who lived at that apartment complex. Her blood was inside the vehicle. Layman had a very high-risk lifestyle at the time of her disappearance: she was involved with illegal drugs, worked as an escort and advertised her services online, and often traveled alone between Washington, Idaho and Colorado. She graduated Mitchell High School in Colorado Springs and later attended cosmetology school. In the 1990s, she married and had two sons, but the marriAge at the time of disappearance: didn't last long. Besides her children, Layman's only close living relative is her father: her mother and two siblings have all died. She lived in Washington state for a time, then moved back to Colorado in 2015. Her father said she kept in touch with him by phone every few weeks and he offered to let her live with him after she moved back to Colorado, but she refused. In spite of her lifestyle, it's uncharacteristic of Layman to leave without warning or lose touch with her family and friends. Foul play is suspected in her disappearance, which 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. |
