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.

Details of Disappearance Stompro is from Phoenix, Arizona and traveled to Alaska in November 2017. On December 10, he crashed his rental car into a herd of caribou on the Parks Highway near Cantwell and totaled it. He got a ride to Fairbanks and checked into Pike's Waterfront Lodge later that day.
Stompro told the hotel staff he planned to stay two days. When the staff went to clean out his room on December 12, they found his belongings still there, so his stay was automatically extended. He was reportedly seen by hotel staff on December 14, but it was later determined he hadn't slept in his bed or used the shower since December 10. The hotel staff reported him missing on December 20.
Stompro is a U.S. Army veteran, and he lived in Phoenix, Arizona in 2013; his family didn't even know he was in Alaska when he went missing. At the time of his disappearance, temperatures in the area dipped down to 30 degrees below zero. The circumstances of his disappearance are unclear.
