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.

Jacksonville, Florida

Date of Birth 10/08/1975 (46)
Age 39 years old

Clothing/Jewelry Description A light blue short, blue shorts and light blue Jordans shoes.
Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics African-American male. Black hair, brown eyes. Frazier has a tattoo on his left arm.
Details of Disappearance Frazier was last seen leaving the Centerfold Lounge in the vicinity of Phillips Highway and Emerson Street in Jacksonville, Florida on July 10, 2015. He has never been heard from again. Investigators believe he was murdered, and the prime suspect in his presumed death is Prentiss Rashan Hare. A photo of Hare is posted with this summary.
In 2018, Hare pleaded guilty to aggravated murder in the death of Tiffany Chambers, a Jacksonville resident who was killed in Springfield, Ohio in July 2015. He admitted he killed Chambers because she had witnessed Frazier's murder and he wanted to silence her. Hare's girlfriend, Hannah Whitman, pleaded guilty to evidence tampering and gross abuse of a corpse; she helped dispose of Chambers's body.
Her remains were not found until May 2016. By then, Hare was already serving 26 years to life in prison for the December 2015 murder of a Springfield man, Deshun Lumford, whom he strangled in an argument over $70 worth of drugs. Hare is also a person of interest in four other homicides in the Springfield area; all the victims were killed within two years of each other, and all were women linked to prostitution and drug use.
No one has been charged in connection with Frazier's presumed murder, and his body has not been found, but foul play is suspected in his due to the circumstances involved.
