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 King was last leaving seen his family's residence in the New York city borough of Brooklyn on July 17, 1991 to report for work. King was employed at Fire Safe Alarm Company on William Street in Brooklyn. He was a co-defendant in a $13 million civil lawsuit at the time with Robert Rodriguez.
A photo of Rodriguez is posted with this summary. The suit charged that King and Rodriguez conspired to loot computer software, business records and customer business from a competing fire alarm company. King vanished during the proceedings after having an argument with Rodriguez. King has never been heard from again.
A body was exhumed from a grave in the late 1990s and authorities believed that the victim may have been King. His family reportedly refused to provide a sample of King's blood for DNA testing and identification was not possible. Rodriguez has never been charged in connection with King's .
Investigators believe Rodriguez may be connected to the 1997 New York City disappearances of two of his former tenants, Camden Sylvia and Michael Sullivan. They had difficulties with Rodriguez prior to their disappearances and neither of them has been heard from again.
Rodriguez was imprisoned on unrelated tax fraud charges in the late 1990s. He was never charged in connection with Sylvia and Sullivan's s. Rodriguez was scheduled to be released from prison in the fall of 2002, but the New York State Parole Board reversed its decision in October of that year.
The Board stated that Rodriguez was "evasive" about the whereabouts of a gun cache that disappeared from his property in the late 1990s. The Board labeled Rodriguez 'intentionally deceitful' and he was returned to prison for an additional two years. He has since been released.
King's remains unsolved.
