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.

Details of Disappearance Dugas was last seen at his residence in Inverness Park, California on September 2, 1992. His friend was scheduled to repair Dugas's 1983 Ford Ranger during the day, but Dugas canceled the appointment.
It is believed Dugas had his house keys and approximately $700 in cash with him at the time of his disappearance. He borrowed the money from his father to pay for his vehicle repairs. He left his clothing and vehicle behind at his residence. He has never been seen again.
Dugas's friends told authorities that his twelve-year relationship with his girlfriend was ending in September 1992. He had apparently suffered from mood swings as a result of the breakup, but witnesses said he appeared to be returning to normal behavior at the time he was last seen.
Dugas was occasionally employed in the construction industry. He was raised in the Canoga Park area of California's San Fernando Valley and lived in Inverness Park for twelve years. He was an active environmentalist in 1992, and his hobbies included hiking, backpacking and mountain biking.
It is not known if Dugas left Inverness Park of his accord or if other factors were involved in his disappearance. A relative said it was uncharacteristic of him to leave without warning. His remains unsolved.
