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 Maximus suffers from bipolar disorder, and at the time of his disappearance he wasn't taking the taking medication he needed to control his condition. He was reportedly confused and paranoid and may have been having a manic episode when he went missing. He may be a danger to himself as a result of his illness.
Associated Vehicle(s) Blue 1999 Ford Expedition with Maryland license plates (accounted for)
Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian male. Light brown hair, brown eyes. Maximus ly changed his name the month before his disappearance; his birth name was Charles Malcolm Allen Jr. and everyone he knew still referred to him by that name. His nickname is Charlie. He wears eyeglasses and he wore his hair cut very short, almost shaved, at the time of his disappearance.
Details of Disappearance Maximus was last seen at 3:00 a.m. on October 13, 2007 in the vicinity of College Lane in Dartmouth, Massachusetts. He reportedly tried to break into a house at that time, and when the home owner confronted him he said he was looking for his college friends. He apologized to the owner and ran away into the woods. He has never been heard from again.
Maximus was a senior psychology major at the University of Massachusetts's Dartmouth campus at the time of his disappearance, and had an apartment in New Bedford, Massachusetts.
After his disappearance, his blue 1999 Ford Expedition with Maryland license plates was found abandoned on the university campus, his backpack full of school supplies was located on Slocum Road, and his shoes were found off Chase Road near a wooded area. His keys, cellular phone and charger are still missing.
The last time Maximus spoke to his family members, he sounded paranoid and talked about moving to Florida or Texas. He had viewed the University of Texas website just before he disappeared, but authorities can find no evidence that he traveled to Texas or to Florida. He may have been seen approaching a truck driver on Route 6 in Dartmouth shortly after his disappearance. It's theorized that he hitched a ride and left New England.
Authorities do not suspect foul play in Maximus's , but they believe his bipolar disorder may have contributed to his disappearance. He is described as an intelligent man who enjoys playing online games and is "obsessed" with tennis; he hoped to someday become a professional tennis player.
Since his disappearance he has not used his credit cards, cellular phone or bank accounts. His remains unsolved.
