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.

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 Verhille was last seen leaving her home in South Rockwood, Michigan on August 17, 2017. Her father heard her giving directions to the house over the phone. She got into a mid-sized tan Ford with Ohio license plates, driven by a man, and they left. She didn't take any belongings with her.
Later that night, Verhille's mother texted her to ask if she would be home soon, and Verhille replied that she wouldn't be. She didn't respond to any more texts, and all subsequent calls went straight to voicemail. She never return home and has never been heard from again. Her family reported her missing that weekend.
According to her family, Verhille began using heroin several years after she graduated from high school. Her mother arranged for her to stay at drug rehabilitation facilities, but she continued to use drugs and got in trouble with the law.
Shortly before her disappearance, she was released from jail. She found a new waitressing job near her home and said she hoped to return to school; she had previously attendedMonroe County Community College. She hadn't told her parents of any plans to meet up with anyone on the day of her disappearance.
Jenna's family initially thought she might be being held against her will, possibly as a human trafficking victim, but now they and the police believe she died of a drug overdose around the time of her disappearance. Her remains unsolved and authorities hope to recover her remains.
