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.

He had a confrontation with some other guests at the party and was thrown out, but later returned. He was last seen at 4:00 a.m., standing near his car. He never returned to his Suttons Bay, Michigan home and has never been heard from again.
Floyd's black four-door 1995 Cadillac DeVille disappeared with him. The vehicle has a bungee cord holding the damaged trunk shut and a blue Michigan license plate numbered AAN 4697, which expired in May 2008. A photograph of the car is posted with this summary.

At the time of his disappearance, Floyd had warrants out for his arrest in Grand Rapids, Michigan, after he failed to appear in court for sentencing.
In December 2008, Floyd's disappearance was declared a probable homicide. Authorities have one suspect in his , but they believe multiple people may have been involved in his presumed murder. It remains unsolved.
