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.

Associated Vehicle(s) Black mountain bicycle with an Azonic Steelhead frame, a black SDG Bel-Air seat with a red stripe, Race Face lock-on grips, DMR V8 pedals and Kenda tires
Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian male. Brown hair, green eyes. Dorey has a pronounced British accent. His nickname is Jonny. He wears eyeglasses.
Details of Disappearance Dorey was last seen in Richmond, Virginia on March 2, 2010. He is a native of Guernsey, an island in the English Channel, and was a student from the University of the West of England.
He was studying geography as a part of an exchange program at Virginia Commonwealth University in 2010, staying in the university's Gladding Residence Center. He was last seen walking away from the dormitory with his black mountain bicycle at 11:19 a.m. He has never been heard from again.
Since he went missing, Dorey's cellular phone has been turned off. He didn't take his passport, so it's unlikely he left the United States.
Dorey is an accomplished mountain biker and enjoyed riding in the Belle Isle area near downtown Richmond. His bicycle disappeared with him; a photo of it is posted with this summary. It has black Azonic Steelhead frame, a black SDG Bel-Air seat with a red stripe, Race Face lock-on grips, DMR V8 pedals and Kenda tires.
Three weeks after his disappearance, police found Dorey's navy blue Eastpak backpack, some of his clothing and his shoes near the James River in the Shockoe Bottom area of Richmond, close to Dock and Pear Streets.
A witness reported seeing a man matching Dorey's description swimming in the river on the afternoon of March 2. The weather that had been rainy, mixed with snow. Authorities searched the river, but found no clues in the water. A body did turn up in the James River in May, but it was identified as an elderly man.
Based on the evidence available, Dorey's parents have concluded he suffered from depression and took his own life by drowning himself in the James River. They stated he didn't like talking about his feelings and they had had no idea he was unhappy before he went missing.
Dorey's parents do not expect his body will be recovered. His disappearance is still under investigation, however. His remains unsolved.
