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.

Panama City Beach, Florida
Missing Classification Endangered Missing

White
Date of Birth 06/28/1971 (51)
Age 44 years old
Height and Weight 5'9, 135 pounds
Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian female. Brown hair, hazel eyes. Whiddon has the following tattoos: a tribal sun on her left shoulder, a cross between her shoulder blades on her back, a starfish on the outside of her right ankle, and a shark on her right hip just below her waistline. She goes by her middle name, Allison. Her ears are pierced.
Details of Disappearance Whiddon was last seen in Panama City Beach, Florida on April 8, 2016. She was in the process of breaking up with her live-in boyfriend, William Daily, and that day they got into an altercation at Dat Cajun Place, a restaurant in the 8500 block of Thomas Drive.
Investigators believe Whiddon continued to clean her possessions out of their shared residence at Romanza Place until approximately April 18, although Daily claims he never saw her. In late May, her loved ones realized she had disappeared. She has never been heard from again.
Whiddon left behind her two pets, her treasured golf clubs and a bonus check from work. Her gold 2000 Ford Ranger pickup truck was found abandoned outside a bar, and her loved ones stated she didn't go to bars.
She lived with Daily at the time of her disappearance, but they were breaking up. He hasn't cooperated with the investigation, but he has not been named as a suspect in her disappearance.
Her brother believes Daily murdered Whiddon and buried her in his backyard. He says Daily admitted to causing her death and he got the admission recorded on tape, but the tape will is not admissible as evidence. Whiddon's brother rented an excavator and dug in Daily's yard without permission, finding nothing but causing over $1,500 in damage, and he was charged with criminal mischief as a result.
Whiddon's remains unsolved.
