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.

Missing From
Mount Holly, South Carolina
Missing Classification Endangered Missing
Sex Female
Race
White
Age 26 years old
Height and Weight Unknown
Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian female. Brown hair, brown eyes. Korrina's nickname is Kory.
Details of Disappearance Korrina was last seen driving out of Mount Holly Plantation towards Highway 52 in Mount Holly, South Carolina between 11:00 and 11:30 p.m. on November 21, 1987. She had worked at a convenience store in Summerville, South Carolina for about six months prior to her disappearance.
After she missed work the next morning, Korrina's boss went looking for her and found her car parked at the entrance to the plantation, where her husband, Thomas Steven "Steve" Malinoski, was the caretaker. The family lived in a cabin on the property, which encompassed 6,000 acres. There was no sign of Korrina at the scene and an extensive search turned up no indication of her whereabouts. She has never been heard from again.
Korrina married Steve in 1981 and they had two sons. It was Steve's third marriage and according to one of the couple's two sons, Korrina and Steve fought frequently and sometimes their fights became violent. On the day of her disappearance, according to Steve, she left home after another argument and never returned.
Korrina's eleven-year-old daughter,Annette Sagers, disappeared from the bus stop in front of Mount Holly Plantation on October 4, 1988, nearly a year after her mother. Her stepfather discovered a penciled note addressed to him saying, "Dad, Mom came back. Ihave togo with her. Give the boys lots of kisses and hugsand alsoyou to. Love, Annette." Handwriting experts determined that the note was written by Annette. Although several people had seen her at the bus stop that morning, no one saw anyone pick her up.
Authorities don't know whether Korrina did in fact return for her daughter or whether Annette wrote the note under duress. Some theorize that Annette knew something about her mother's disappearance and was silenced, but there is no evidence to support any theory.
Korrina has relatives living in Iowa and Illinois, whom she was very close to, but none of them have heard from her since she disappeared. Her family doesn't think she would have simply left without warning, and they don't believe she would have come back only for Annette and not for her two sons as well.
Steve moved to Florida several months after Annette's disappearance, giving up his rights to his two sons by Korrina. The boys were sent into foster care, were eventually adopted, and have since grown up and reconnected with their biological relatives. Steve maintains his innocence in his wife ands stepdaughter's s. In 2000, an anonymous caller directed police to search for a body in Sumter County. Investigators took a cadaver-sniffing dog to the location, but found no sign of any remains.
Although Annette's remains classified as a non-family abduction by many agencies, and it's unclear what happened to her and her mother, authorities believe it's likely that both Annette and Korrina met with foul play and neither of them ever left the Mount Holly Plantation after they went missing.
