Missing Person Photos
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.

Age 16 years old
Height and Weight 5'8, 190 pounds
Clothing/Jewelry Description A gray hooded Hollister sweatshirt, light-colored blue jeans, black Vans shoes and handmade jewelry.
Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Hispanic female. Black hair, brown eyes. Angela's nickname is Angie. Her tongue and lower lip are pierced, her ears are double-pierced and she has braces on her teeth and scars on her knees. Two sections of her hair at the front are dyed blonde.
Details of Disappearance Angela was last seen in Dallas, Texas on January 23, 2010. She left home at 11:30 p.m. to go to a party at a boy's house. Later, Angela sent a text message to her mother asking for permission to spend the night with a friend. Her mother consented.
Angela has never been heard from again. The next day at 9:30 a.m., when her mother tried to call her, she didn't answer her cellular phone. Angela's mother contacted the friend she was supposed to have stayed with and the friend said she'd never shown up. The boy who hosted the party she attended stated Angela left at 2:00 a.m.
Angela was a student at Molina High School at the time of her disappearance. She has three younger siblings. She enjoyed school at the time of her disappearance and played soccer and volleyball.
Although her was originally classified as a runaway, authorities now believe foul play may have been involved in her disappearance. Some time after Angela went missing, authorities found her cellular phone in a local park. They stated they also located unspecified evidence that indicated she had been injured.
Angela has no history of runaway behavior and she hasn't accessed her bank account since she disappeared. Nevertheless, her mother doesn't believe she is being held against her will; she thinks Angela ran away "to prove a point."
There have been some sightings of her in the Dallas area since she went missing, some by people who knew her, but none have been confirmed. Her remains unsolved.
