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.

Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian female. Blonde hair, hazel eyes. Bowman's ears are pierced.
Details of Disappearance Bowman left her mother's Morongo Valley, California home on March 14, 2017, to visit a boyfriend, Christopher Starr Perfect. She was driving a silver Toyota Avalon; a photo of the car is posted with this summary. She did meet with Perfect, but it's unclear where they went and what they were doing. They were in Arizona at one point, and may have also been in New Mexico or Wyoming.
After she left she kept in touch with her family over the phone. The last time she contacted her family over Facebook was on April 15, 2017, a month after she left. Contact suddenly stopped after that. Her last known location was Fort Garland, Colorado.
Bowman's family is concerned for her safety; it's uncharacteristic of her to not be in touch with them, and they don't believe she would have abandoned her young daughter. Perfect is a convicted felon and he was arrested in Wyoming in late May 2017. He says he doesn't know her whereabouts.
In May 2018, Bowman's car was found atCruz Alta Condominiums in Taos, New Mexico. An anonymous tipster called the police about the car, saying it had been in the lot for at least six months. Some clothing and personal belongings were inside it. Taos is a twelve-hour drive east of Morongo Valley.
Bowman's disappearance remains unsolved. The circumstances of her disappearance are unclear.
