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 Andrew was last seen in Miami, Florida on January 28, 2020. His parents, Arlety Garcia Valdes and Ernesto Caballeiro, were separated and their relationship was troubled, but he did offer to help her during her pregnancy.
Arlety, Andrew and her nine-year-old daughter from a prior relationship had been staying with Arlety's brother, but members of the household became sick and Arlety didn't want the baby to get sick, so she took him and went to stay at Ernesto's home in the 21900 block of southwest 187th Avenue, to stay with him there.
On January 28, Ernesto shot and killed Arlety, as well as Andrew's maternal grandmother, Isabel Valdes Gonzalez, and maternal great-grandmother, Lina Gonzalez Licor, at his house.
Surveillance cameras around the home showed Ernesto arriving at 10:00 a.m., then leaving an hour later with Andrew and an AR-15 rifle. A day later, Ernesto's body was found in a wooded area in Pasco County, Florida, near his white Ford van. He had shot himself to death with the AR-15, which was found next to his body. There was no indication of Andrew's whereabouts. There were no baby items inside Ernesto's van except a single pacifier, and Andrew's DNA wasn't on it.
A blonde woman had been seen with Ernesto in his van, but authorities think it's possible she simply stopped to check on the van before the triple murder occurred. This woman has never been identified.
Photos of Ernesto and the murdered women are posted with this summary. Ernesto had a criminal record for car theft, operating a "chop shop" that sold stolen vehicles, and one charge of aggravated assault that had been dismissed.
Authorities believe it's likely that Andrew was also murdered, but several searches haven't turned up any evidence. They don't think Ernesto took him to Pasco County with him and believe it's likely Andrew's body is in the Miami area. The surviving members of his family are raising his older sister, who was not with the others on the day they were killed.
