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.

Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Asian female. Gray hair, brown eyes. Kyo's ears are pierced. She is of Japanese descent.
Details of Disappearance Kyo was last seen in Aurora, Colorado sometime in 2018. She could no longer walk and was bedridden, and as her family all lives in Japan, friends helped care for her. She had been staying in a nursing home, but in early 2018 her ex-husband, Eldred Miller, moved her back into the home they both owned in the 3400 block of south Halifax Way in Aurora. Eldred and his current wife also lived there.
After she moved back home, Kyo stopped communicating with her friends. They tried to call her, and went to visit her home, but no one answered the door or the phone. Then one day Eldred accused one of Kyo's friends of trespassing and called the police. The friend explained the situation to the police, who were able to confirm that Kyo was inside the house, but said she did not want to speak to any of her friends. This was highly uncharacteristic of her behavior.
In December 2018, Kyo's brother in Japan contacted one of her friends and said he was worried, as he hadn't heard from Kyo in a long time. The friend contacted the police, who attempted to do a welfare check on Kyo. The first time they went to her house, no one answered the door. The second time, they gained entry to the house and Kyo wasn't there, and neighbors said they hadn't seen her in over a year. The authorities began a missing persons investigation, but didn't make the matter public until February 2019.
In April 2020, Eldred was arrested and charged with theft, identity theft, financial exploitation and criminal impersonation; the victim was Kyo. A photo of him is posted with this summary. Although he hasn't been charged in connection with Kyo's actual disappearance, police stated she is missing under suspicious circumstances. Her remains unsolved.
