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 Warren was last seen in Toms River, New Jersey on August 7, 1983. He told his wife he was going for his a walk through the woods to Ocean City College and would be back in about an hour. His wife of 47 years suggested he drive instead, but he said he wanted to walk. A security guard saw him on College Drive at 9:15 a.m., and he spoke to a jogger on Brokaw Boulevard at 9:50 a.m. He never returned from his walk and has never been heard from again.
Warren's wife became alarmed when he missed a 10:00 a.m. pool party and notified police of his disappearance at 11:00 a.m. Tracker dogs traced Warren's scent to a pond off Hooper Avenue, then along the edge of a wooded area and roadway, but they lost the scent about a mile from Ocean City College. His wife found two sets of sneaker prints on the path he would have taken; one set led towards the college and the other, back towards their home.
Warren had retired from his position as an associate professor of engineering at Ocean County College two months prior to his disappearance. Prior to his employment at the college, he had worked as an engineer for Nash Controls and designed some machines used in military weaponry. There was speculation that this work had led to his disappearance, but investigators found no evidence to support this theory.
Authorities believe Warren disappeared under suspicious circumstances. He had been married for 47 years at the time of his disappearance, and his wife stated he would always tell someone if he thought he was going to be late. He was a very athletic man and a regular jogger until arthritis in his hip forced him to curtail his exercise regime. His remains unsolved.
