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.

Age 27 years old
Height and Weight 5'11 - 6'0, 170 pounds
Clothing/Jewelry Description A black and red jacket with a yellow stripe on the side, blue jeans, black Nike Michael Jordan sneakers and a gray and black trucker hat with an "RV" emblem. A photo of Sanford in those clothes is posted with this summary.
Medical Conditions Sanford has a history of drug abuse and completed a thirty-day rehabilitation program just before his disappearance. He may have overdosed on drugs the day he went missing.
Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian male. Brown hair, blue eyes. Sanford has previously broken his wrist. He has the following tattoos: roman numerals on the inside of his forearm, a cross on his back, the Serenity Prayer ("God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference") on his ribcage, the phrase "Only the Good Die Young" on his chest, and an unknown tattoo on his upper arm at the shoulder. A photo of his chest tattoo is posted with this summary. Sanford had hair on his chin at the time of his disappearance.
Details of Disappearance Sanford was last seen in Somersworth, New Hampshire on December 5, 2018. He had spent the previous night at a house on Market Street. He between 6:00 and 7:00 p.m. left to get cigarettes at either the Borderline Beverage store or the Stateline Mini Mart, and never returned.
He later called the mother of his four-year-old son and told her he had taken an accidental drug overdose and had to be revived with Narcan. This is the last time anyone heard from him. Three days later, his wallet was found in someone's yard half a mile away. It contained only a medical identification card belonging to his son's mother.
In September 2019, graffiti appeared in public parks and bus stops throughout the Tri-Cities area of New Hampshire, claiming Sanford had been murdered by three specific men. That same month, federal authorities searched a residence in the 100 block of Franklin Street in Somersworth, after getting a tip that Sanford was there. The search turned up nothing, however.
Shortly before he disappeared, Sanford completed a thirty-day drug rehabilitation program. His family believes he is deceased and that his disappearance is drug-related. They stated he was high-functioning in spite of his addiction, kept in regular touch with his four-year-old son and wouldn't have abandoned him.
He ran a profitable carpet-installation business at the time of his disappearance. His remains unsolved.
