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.

Details of Disappearance Amanda was last seen in the 300 block of Buxton Avenue in Springfield, Ohio on July 7, 2013. She was staying at her home at Indian Lake but left on July 5 to return to the home she shared with her husband, in the 900 block of Avondale Avenue.
On July 6, she called her sister and asked to be picked up the next day. This was last the time they spoke to each other. She has never been heard from again. She was reported missing by her family on August 9, over a month later.
Amanda's husband, Daniel Michael Romine, also known as Daniel Ward, died in his home in the 900 block of Avondale Avenue in December 2015. He was 43 years old. Authorities have named him a person of interest in his wife's disappearance.
The couple had been married for about a year before Amanda went missing. There was a history of domestic violence between them, both of them were substance abusers, and Daniel was uncooperative with the investigation. A photo of him is posted with this summary. Authorities hope that, now that he is dead, witnesses might come forward who were too afraid to give information before.
It's uncharacteristic of Amanda to leave without warning, and her family believes she is dead. Her remains unsolved.
