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.

Details of Disappearance Angel was last seen in Spokane, Washington August 10, 2007. She has never been heard from again. She has a long history of running away from home, and authorities believe she left of her own accord when she disappeared in 2007.
Angel's father, who raised her, stated she started having behavior problems in middle school and soon began dating older men and abusing drugs. She dropped out ofFerris High School in the tenth grade and stayed with various people after that, never living in one place for very long. When she was seventeen, she got her father's permission to marry a 21-year-old man, Will Wilson.
Will stated that on the day of Angel's disappearance, he came home from work that evening and found Angel smoking methamphetamine. They argued about it and he told her to stop using drugs or he would end their relationship. Angel left the house and he never saw her again. When he woke up the next day, he found Angel's wedding ring on the table.
Because of Angel's drug history and involvement with older men, she's considered to be at risk. Her disappearance remains unsolved.
