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.

Kirchoff has the following tattoos: a cross and his name "Julian" on his upper right arm, a girl with writing on his upper left arm, his nickname "Guero" on his abdomen, the word "Naco" on his lower back, praying hands on the left side of his chest, and an image of Jesus on the right side of his chest. He is missing a front tooth on the right side.
Details of Disappearance Kirchoff was last seen in Bisbee, Arizona on February 8, 2007. He was driving his mother's car, a gold 1992 Nissan Maxima. He was involved in an altercation with several males, possibly as many as seven, at Esperanza Apartments. While trying to get away from them, he rear-ended another person's car.
A gunshot was heard, and one of the assailants pulled Kirchoff out of the driver's seat of his own vehicle and forced him into the backseat. Kirchoff's car was driven by one of the abductors and left the apartments following a dark-colored sedan. They headed south towards the Mexican border, which was five miles away.
Witnesses called police at 11:30 p.m. The responding officers found an empty .380 shell casing in the parking lot. Kirchoff has never been heard from again and his car has never been recovered. The car's VIN number is JN1HJO1F5NT025326, and it sustained some damage from the parking lot collision.
Kirchoff has a criminal history; he served a year in prison for attempted aggravated driving under the influence (DUI) and possession of drug paraphernalia, and he also has a conviction for transporting a narcotic drug for sale. His mother stated he'd been staying away from drugs prior to his disappearance, but she fears his abduction was drug-related.
Police have four suspects in the kidnapping and questioned them, but no one has charged. The suspects are now apparently in Mexico. It's possible Kirchoff was taken into Mexico, although investigators can't find any record of him or his car crossing the border.
Kirchoff left behind a girlfriend and a young son. He was in daily contact with his mother and it's uncharacteristic of him to leave without warning. Foul play is suspected in his , which remains unsolved.

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.
