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.

Surfside Beach, South Carolina

White
Date of Birth 03/06/1964 (58)

Height and Weight 5'4, 100 pounds
Clothing/Jewelry Description A white mesh top under a white silk top, white shorts and white Reebok sneakers.
Associated Vehicle(s) Chevrolet pickup truck (accounted for), Dodge van (accounted for)
Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian female. Blonde hair, blue eyes. Andrea has a small scar on her forehead. Her maiden name is Reburn.
Details of Disappearance Andrea was last seen at her apartment at Deer Track Villas in Surfside Beach, South Carolina on April 24, 1993. She shared the apartment with Larry, her husband of four years, and their two young children. She has never been heard from again.
On the day of her disappearance, Andrea's mother had taken Andrea's son to Disney World in Florida. Her mother tried to call Andrea several times, but was unable to reach her.
Andrea left behind her Chevrolet pickup truck, Dodge van, jewelry, ATM card and clothing. Other items were missing, however, including her purse, suit, toothbrush and some other personal belongings.
Andrea, a straight-A student at Coastal Carolina University, never took her final exams. She never picked up her last paycheck from her part-time job, left $30 in the bank and never used her credit or debit cards after her disappearance.
Her mother filed a missing persons report with the police on April 28, four days after she was last seen. Larry refused to file the report and seemed unconcerned about Andrea's whereabouts.
Larry moved to West Virginia six weeks after Andrea went missing, and her parents in Florida took custody of their children and later ly adopted them and changed their granddaughter's name.
Andrea and Larry's two-year-old daughter had nightmares for years after her mother's disappearance and told her grandparents that "Daddy hurt Mommy," "Daddy threw Mommy in the bushes" and "Daddy took a shovel and put dirt on Mommy." Based on these statements, investigators concluded the child had witnessed her mother's murder.
Larry did have a 1990 conviction for domestic violence against Andrea; she told police he'd attacked her while she was in the shower, pushed her down, locked her in the bathroom for two hours, then tried to force her to leave the apartment while she was still naked.
Andrea stated her husband had a tendency to become violent while under the influence of alcohol. Larry maintained his innocence in her disappearance and stated he had no idea what happened to his wife.
In 1995, Larry was sentenced to one to ten years in prison after he forged Andrea's signature on her truck's title and tried to sell it. In 1996, while still incarcerated for the forgery, he was charged with Andrea's murder.
The charge was dropped for lack of evidence in 1997, however: authorities were unsure whether they could get Andrea and Larry's daughter to testify against him, and Andrea's body has never been found.
Andrea grew up in Maryland and attended East Tennessee State University, then quit school and joined her parents when they moved to Florida. She transferred schools and had nearly completed her requirements for a bachelor's degree in communications by the time she disappeared.
Foul play is suspected in her due to the circumstances involved.
