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.

Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian male. Brown hair, brown eyes. Jonathan's nickname is Jon. He has a tattoo of an eagle and a tattoo of a cross surrounded by red and orange flames, both on his back. He has a round scar on his right upper arm, a large scar on his head and a large scar across his nose.
Details of Disappearance Jonathan was last seen in Bogue Chitto, Mississippi. On May 31, 2018, he had a domestic dispute with his estranged wife, Cynthia Denise "Cindy" Estes, and she claims he assaulted her. On June 2, when police went to question him about it, he was gone. He has never been heard from again. Two weeks after he went missing, his truck was found abandoned in a field and turned over to Cindy. Since his disappearance, there's been no activity on his bank account.
The Lincoln County Sheriff's Department initially refused to accept a missing persons report for Jonathan, as Cindy had filed assault charges against him and they thought he was running from the law. In September, Jonathan's sister filed the missing persons report with the Lee County Sheriff's Department near where she lived in Tupelo, Mississippi.
In October, four months after Jonathan disappeared, the grand jury considering the assault declined to indict him for lack of evidence. That same month, Cindy filed for divorce on grounds of adultery and cruelty. The divorce was finalized the following January, in spite of Jonathan's absence, and Cindy was granted full custody of their children.
The marriage had been troubled and they had separated multiple times over the years. Jonathan was a contractor and had to travel regularly for his job. In late April 2018, right before Jonathan took a two-week work trip to texas, Cindy said she wanted to divorce. When he returned home, the couple separated. Jonathan rented a house of his own.
Their two children lived with Cindy, and although there was not yet a court order mandating visitation and child support, he saw them regularly and paid support for them up until he went missing. He even accompanied his daughter when she took a trip to Washington D.C. with her church the month before his disappearance.
His loved ones don't believe he would have abandoned his children. His remains unsolved. Lincoln County police are now handling the investigating.
