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.

Miguel Sonny Scott
Scott, date, approximate 2011
Date Missing 10/27/2011
Missing From
Bremerton, Washington
Missing Classification Endangered Missing
Sex Male
Race
Asian
Date of Birth 07/21/1992 (30)
Age 19 years old
Height and Weight 5'10 - 5'11, 116 pounds
Clothing/Jewelry Description A white sweater, blue jeans, sneakers, a black baseball cap and a red cross necklace. Carrying a black backpack with pink squares.
Medical Conditions Scott's jaw was broken on the left side and wired shut at the time of his disappearance. He was taking opiate pain medications and under follow-up care from his surgery. He may be in need of medical attention.
Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Asian male. Black hair, brown eyes. Scott has a surgical scar on the left side of his face and a scar under his chin. He may wear eyeglasses.
Details of Disappearance Scott was last seen drinking with friends at Evergreen-Rotary Park, about three blocks from Warren Avenue, in Bremerton, Washington at 10:00 p.m. on October 27, 2011. He never showed up for his next doctor's appointment and has never been heard from again.
Although Scott has dropped out of sight before for a few days at a time, he's never been gone for this long, and it's uncharacteristic of him to be out of touch with his loved ones. He normally used his Facebook account every day, but hasn't accessed it since October 26, and he hasn't used his cellular phone since the evening of his disappearance.
Scott had plans to join the Navy after he finished school. Because his disappearance is out of character, his family is concerned for his safety. His remains unsolved.
