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.

Photos of some of his tattoos are posted with this summary. McClain's nicknames are Mike and MikeNice.
Details of Disappearance McClain was last seen in Nashua, New Hampshire on April 21, 2019. He was at the Tropical Lounge on Hollis Street with friends. While McClain and his friends were at the nightclub, there was an altercation in the parking lot between two women, one of whom McClain knew. He tried to de-escalate the situation, but the crowd didn't disperse until the police arrived at 1:45 a.m., and Eldridge became separated from his friends afterwards.
After leaving the Tropical Lounge, McClain called his boss and said, "Theyre after me. More than one." He also sent three texts to a neighbor, reading "HELP LOL OUR", "what stood aloof" and "Eldridge bro". Due to the garbled nature of the texts, authorities believe he was using text dictation at the time. "Eldridge" may have been a reference to Eldridge Street, which is near the nightclub.
He was sighted on video surveillance at a McDonald's restaurant at about 2:00 a.m., and then entering and exiting a parking garage at Riverfront Landing in the area of Bancroft Street and the Merrimack River at 3:30 a.m. This is the last sighting of him.
The next day, McClain didn't show up for work, which is uncharacteristic of his behavior. He didn't contact his mother or grandmother over the Easter holiday weekend, or call his sister on her birthday, and all calls placed to his phone went directly to voicemail. He has never been heard from again.
McClain has a bachelor's degree in criminal justice from Hesser College, which is now called Mount Washington College. At the time of his disappearance, he worked for Easterseals New Hampshire, a nonprofit organization that provides for people with disabilities, veterans and senior citizens. His job involved working with autistic children. His remains unsolved.
