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 male. Brown hair, blue eyes. Ahern had a mustache and a six-inch beard at the time of his disappearance. His right ear is pierced. He has the following tattoos: a set of eyes on his back between his shoulder blades, a heart on his right shoulder, the word "fuck" on the inside of his right arm, the word "you" on the inside of his left arm, a demon's skull on his left forearm, a wolverine on his right forearm, and his last name "Ahern" with a skull on his abdomen and chest. Photos of some of his tattoos are posted with this summary.
Details of Disappearance Ahern was last seen in Stillwater, New York on January 6, 2019, which is also the last day he used his cellular phone. He was involved with local motorcycle clubs and was living on Brickyard Road in the clubhouse of the recently disbanded Rolling Pride Motorcycle Club at the time of his disappearance. He has never been heard from again.
His vehicles (including a green 2003 GMC pickup truck with the New York license plate number HYN7657), medications and dog were left behind at the clubhouse, without arrangements having been made for the dog's care. He wasn't known to have been depressed at the time of his disappearance, and it's uncharacteristic of him to leave without warning.
In January 2021, authorities announced Jack Jeffers had pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon in Ahern's . A photo of Jeffers is posted with this summary.
Investigators stated he shot and killed Ahern over a personal dispute, then stole Ahern's truck and disposed of evidence afterwards. The two men were both in the same motorcycle club and had ongoing tensions over drugs and money. In April 2021, Jeffers was sentenced to four to twelve years for manslaughter and nine years for the weapons charge.
Ahern's body has not been located, but foul play is suspected in his due to the circumstances involved.
