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.

Modesto, California

White
Date of Birth 01/08/1974 (48)

Medical Conditions Crystal was suffering from depression at the time of her disappearance and may have been suicidal.
Associated Vehicle(s) White 1990 Ford Taurus with the license plate number 4GHG377 (accounted for)
Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian female. Black hair, brown eyes. Crystal has a tattoo of a rose and a dagger on her neck and a tattoo of an Indian woman on her left hip. Her ears are pierced.
Details of Disappearance Crystal was last seen in San Francisco, California on June 18, 2017. After she argued with a family member in Modesto, California, she went to visit a San Francisco friend. She suddenly left her friend's home at 4:30 a.m. and never returned.
Crystal left without taking any money, and there's been no activity on her bank accounts since her disappearance. Her white 1990 Ford Taurus with the license plate number 4GHG377 was found later that month parked near Ocean Beach. It was unlocked, with her purse and keys under the front seat. There was no evidence of foul play.
Ocean Beach is on the shore of Morro Bay. Crystal's 22-year-old son, Avery Edward Danley, drowned in the bay in February 2016. In the weeks before she went missing, Crystal repeatedly said she felt guilty about her son's death and wanted to "be with Avery" in the ocean.
Because of the circumstances of her disappearance, Crystal's loved ones theorize she deliberately went into Morro Bay and drowned. An extensive search of the water turned up no sign of her, however.
She left behind two surviving children, aged 20 and 14, and she had plans to take a trip to Peru that summer and already purchased a plane ticket. Modesto police are investigating her , which remains unsolved.
