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.

Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Hispanic female. Blonde hair, light brown eyes. Sarabia's nickname is Princess. Her married name is Reeves and some agencies refer to her as Lucero Sarabia Reeves. Her hair was in a ponytail at the time of her disappearance.
Details of Disappearance Sarabia was last seen on November 26, 2004. She had attended a Thanksgiving party with friends and family members at her ex-girlfriend's cousin's home in the 300 block of Babcock Road.
After an altercation between Sarabia and a female guest at the party, Sarabia was asked to leave. Another guest, Richard Anthony Chabes Jr., offered her a ride home, and they left together. Between 1:30 and 2:00 a.m., Sarabia called her mother and said she was at Chabes's apartment and that he planned to drive her home. Her mother said nothing seemed to be amiss at the time.
Sarabia never arrived home and has never been heard from again. Chabes later told police that, at 6:00 a.m., several hours after she spoke to her mother, Sarabia decided to walk home from his residence at the Kingswood Manor Apartments in the 4400 block of Callaghan Road, rather than have him drive her. His home was about a mile and a half from her own residence.
Chabes packed his belongings and moved out of his apartment abruptly a few days after Sarabia vanished. Authorities have found her blood on the walls and carpet at his apartment, although there wasn't enough blood to indicate a fatal injury. In spite of this, police stated they have cleared him as a suspect in Sarabia's disappearance. Chabes now lives in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Sarabia separated from her husband of five years and moved in with her mother a year before she vanished. She and her husband were still seeing each other, however. She has two sons and her mother says it would be uncharacteristic of her to willingly abandon them. Foul play is possible in her , which remains unsolved.
