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.

Height and Weight 5'2, 132 pounds
Associated Vehicle(s) SUV (accounted for)
Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics African-American female. Black hair, brown eyes. Guillot has a tattoo of the letters "HBC" on her left hand. She has a scar on the left side of her face, going from the corner of her mouth to her left cheek. Her ears are pierced.
Details of Disappearance Guillot was last seen leaving her residence on foot in Simmesport, Louisiana on September 7, 2013. She dropped her daughter at her mother's home that day, and has never been heard from again. When her mother went to Guillot's home, she discovered it had been ransacked.
Her mother reported her missing on September 11. Although Guillot had a drug problem and it wasn't uncharacteristic of her to drop out of sight for a few days at a time, she always returned home or called to check on her children eventually.
In October, five suspects were charged with aggravated kidnapping in Guillot's : Asa Bentley, Chadwick McGhee, Tamika Williams, Willie Price Jr., and Donnie Edwards. Bentley and McGhee were also charged with aggravated assault with a firearm. Authorities believe Guillot was abducted because of some stolen cocaine and cash.
There's a family connection between Williams and Guillot: Guillot's nephew is Williams's daughter's half-brother. Photos of all five suspects are posted with this summary. When they were indicted, it was for the lesser charge of second-degree kidnapping.
Williams pleaded guilty in October 2013 and confessed to being in the car with the others while they were looking for Guillot. She subsequently testified against them at their trials, saying Guillot had been abducted and thrown into the back of their SUV.
Williams stated Edwards was driving while Bentley sat on top of Guillot, threatened to kill her, and choked her as she begged for her life. For ten to fifteen minutes, Williams heard choking sounds and what sounded like someone being hit, followed by the sound of glass breaking and a smell as if someone had defecated, but she didn't look behind her.
Eventually the others dropped Williams off at her apartment. The next day, Bentley took her to a local field where he said he'd dumped Guillot's body, but Williams refused to go look at it. He told her she was going to move the body.
McGhee was convicted of simple kidnapping in July 2014 and was sentenced to life in prison without parole after being designated a habitual offender. His conviction was subsequently vacated after the appeals court ruled that the evidence showed only that McGhee was present at the time of Guillot's kidnapping, not that he took part in the crime or intended to do so. The prosecution appealed the to the Louisiana Supreme Court, who reinstated McGhee's conviction.
Bentley and Price were convicted of second-degree kidnapping in January and March 2015, respectively. In May, just before his trial was to begin, Edwards pleaded guilty to simple kidnapping. None of them have been charged with murder.
Guillot left behind two children. Although she'd been in trouble with the law and been involved with drugs when she was in her teens, her mother said she'd been trying to straighten out her life. Foul play is suspected in her due to the circumstances involved.
