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 Sucher was last seen by her boyfriend, George Alan Abrahamsen, at her residence in the 8000 block of Pacific Avenue in Fort Pierce, Florida on June 22, 2003. She and Abrahamsen had an argument that day and police were called to the residence as a result. Abrahamsen says he heard a vehicle driving away from the home at 2:00 a.m.
She has never been heard from again. She left behind all her personal belongings, including her purse and hygiene products; the only item missing was her battery-powered bicycle, which she used in lieu of a car. She did not have a driver's license at the time she went missing.
Sucher's loved ones stated she was a good student and well-behaved as a child and teenager, but developed a problem with alcohol while in her early twenties. She got into trouble with the law and has been charged with a variety of crimes including burglary, possession of stolen property, driving under the influence, aggravated assault, disorderly conduct, theft and larceny.
She always kept in contact with her family, however, even while she was incarcerated. She was on probation for a 1997 battery conviction at the time of her disappearance, and kept in regular contact with her probation officer as required. Her disappearance was noticed when she failed to keep a scheduled appointment with her probation officer on June 24, three days after she was last seen.
Sucher's relationship with Abrahamsen was rocky. They often argued and the police were called to their home eleven times between December 2002 and June 2003. He is considered a person of interest in her disappearance. A photo of him is posted with this summary.
Foul play is suspected in Sucher's , which remains unsolved.

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.
