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.

Seattle, Washington
Missing Classification Endangered Missing

Race
Asian
Date of Birth 04/30/1992 (30)
Age 18 years old
Height and Weight 5'5, 110 pounds
Clothing/Jewelry Description A dark-colored hooded jacket, a light-colored hooded sweater, jeans and light brown suede laced boots. Carrying a drawstring bag made of denim with a rainbow-colored butterfly screen print; it contained a Macbook Pro laptop.
Medical Conditions Perez suffers from depression and was taking medication for the condition at the time of her disappearance.
Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Asian female. Brown hair, brown eyes. At the time of her disappearance, Perez's hair had red highlights and was cut in an assymetrical bob with short bangs at the time of her disappearance. She may wear green-tinted contact lenses and her ears are pierced. She has a tattoo of the phrase "lahat ay magiging maayos" (meaning "all will be well" in Tagalog) on the inside of her left arm. Perez's nicknames are Emem and Mei. She is of Filipino descent.
Details of Disappearance Perez was last seen in Seattle, Washington on March 5, 2011. She left her home in the Rainier Beach area en route to the campus of the University of Washington, where she was a freshman, but she apparently never arrived there.
She was last seen at the Safeway store on Brooklyn Avenue northeast in the University District between 2:00 and 3:00 p.m. She bought orange juice, trash bags, Tylenol and over-the-counter sleeping medication, left the store and has never been heard from again.
The last activity on her cellular phone was when a text message was sent to her at 2:45 p.m. The phone pinged off a tower at 47th Avenue Northeast at the time. After that the phone was turned off; it has never been recovered.
It's uncharacteristic of her to leave of Perez own accord, and she didn't leave behind a note. Her parents live in New Jersey; she is an only child and was close to them. She lived with her aunt and uncle at the time of her disappearance; she'd moved in with them when she enrolled in college.
Perez had recently broken up with her boyfriend and was distressed about it, and a private investigator hired by her family believes she took her own life, but her parents said she seemed happy in the days prior to her disappearance and they don't believe she was suicidal.
Perez's cousin is Michelle Malkin, a noted conservative journalist and author. Her disappearance remains unsolved.
