Missing Person Photos
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.

Medical Conditions Calvo was addicted to heroin and was in poor health at the time of her disappearance.
Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian female. Brown hair, brown eyes. Calvo has a tattoo of a spiderweb on her right thigh and an additional tattoo on her right leg.
Details of Disappearance Calvo was last seen by family members on the morning of October 6, 2005 in New Haven, Connecticut. She was homeless at the time and occasionally lived on the streets, but on the day of her disappearance she said she planned to move back in with her parents and enter drug treatment.
Calvo had lost custody of her children as the result of her drug addiction and wanted to get them back. She had a court appearance scheduled in New Haven and asked her mother to wire her some money so could travel to court. Authorities confirmed that she did pick up the money at approximately 5:30 p.m. This is the last sign of her.
Calvo's loved ones have not heard from her since her disappearance, though there have been possible sightings of her in the local area. In 2005 she frequented the Grand Avenue and Murray Place areas of New Haven. She knewEvelyn Frisco, another New Haven woman who vanished the year before she did and was never found. There's no indication that their s are connected, however.
In spite of Calvo's drug addiction and her transient lifestyle, she kept in regular touch with her family and it's uncharacteristic of her to leave without warning. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance are unclear and her remains unsolved.
