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.
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.

Photos of some of her tattoos are posted with this summary. She has gauged piercings in her ears and her lip may be pierced.
Details of Disappearance Bieberbach was last seen in the 1500 block of Empire Road in Empire, Alabama on March 6, 2018. She has never been heard from again. She was reported missing by her sister on May 20, over two months after her disappearance. By this point the sisters had not spoken for four months, something which wasn't unusual, as Bierebach was often out of touch with her family.
One of her last posts on social media read, "3,2,1 blast off to the moon." Investigators believe she may have had someone pick her up so she could buy heroin. One theory is that she died of a drug overdose and whoever she was with disposed of her body to avoid facing criminal charges. She had been clean and sober for some time, but relapsed after her daughter's death from cancer several months before her disappearance, and planned to enter a long-term substance abuse treatment facility.
Bierbach left behind a young son. Because she has outstanding warrants for her arrest, it's possible she's simply hiding from the law. She has ties to Jasper, Cordova and Attalla in Alabama, and has previously lived in southern California, Wichita Falls, Texas and Cape May, New Jersey. Few details are available in her .
