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 female. Brown hair, brown eyes. Minton has a scar on her abdomen.
Details of Disappearance Minton was last seen at Enterprise Rent-A-Car on north Second Street and west Locust Street in Rogers, Arkansas at 1:00 p.m. on June 1, 2007. She left her children with a friend and went to Beaver Lake. She has never been heard from again.
A short time after her disappearance, her silver BMW 30i was found parked at the intersection of Second and Locust Streets. On June 15, her purse was found floating in Beaver Lake. Authorities believe they have identified the boat she took out onto the water.
Minton had a troubled past. In 1998, one of her children was taken from her shortly after birth because she admitted she used drugs heavily during the pregnancy. However, her family stated she had gotten her life back together by the time she disappeared and was no longer involved with drugs. Her ex-boyfriend, Randal Todd Greenway, was long considered a person of interest in her . She was supposed to visit him on the day she disappeared.
A photograph of Greenway is posted with his summary. He had allegedly abused Minton and at least one police report was filed as a result; Minton claimed he had dragged her by the hair and beat her. He also has an extensive criminal record dating back to 1993, with six felony convictions prior to June 2007. He pleaded guilty to drug charges after her disappearance and was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
In April 2010, Greenway was charged with capital murder in Minton's . He was still incarcerated for the drug charges at the time. He reached a plea deal with the prosecution and pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in June 2011, in exchange for a forty-year sentence. He told the court he'd taken Minton to Beaver Lake on the day of her disappearance, they argued and he killed her by slashing her throat, holding her under the water and stabbing her.
Part of the plea agreement required Greenway to disclose where he'd put Minton's body. He said he tied weights to her body and dumped it in the lake, but multiple searches, most recently in August 2017, turned up no sign of Minton's remains. Greenway will be eligible for parole after serving 28 years of his sentence.
Foul play is suspected in Minton's due to the circumstances involved.
