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.

Details of Disappearance Limesand was last seen at approximately 3:30 p.m. on November 12, 1999 in Marion, North Dakota. He was driving his red 1995 Ford club cab pickup truck with the North Dakota license plate number EIP-754 at the time. The vehicle had a red toolbox featuring "4x4" decals installed in its bed.
He was en route to his son's farm at the time of his disappearance. He never arrived as scheduled and has not been heard from again.
Several witnesses claimed that they saw Limesand in a church in Waubay, South Dakota shortly after he was reported missing. The man matching Limesand's description was reportedly upset at the time of the incident. His family members stated that the described behavior was uncharacteristic of him. The sighting has never been confirmed.
Limesand's truck was discovered abandoned on a street in the Romkey Park neighborhood of Moorehead, Minnesota on November 16, 1999, four days after his initial disappearance. Traces of his blood were found in the toolbox, but there was no other sign of Limesand at the scene. The Wrangler tire that was normally kept in the truck's bed was missing and has never been recovered.
In August 2005, authorities charged Steve Allen Thomas with Limesand's murder. A photograph of Thomas is posted with this summary.
His mother, Bonnie Rosland, lied to the police to give Thomas an alibi in Limesand's shortly after Limesand vanished. She told them she and Thomas had gone to Fargo, North Dakota the day Limesand disappeared, but phone records proved they had both been at home. Rosland pleaded guilty to perjury and was sentenced to five months in jail.
Rosland and Thomas lived two and a half miles from Limesand's home in 1999. Prior to Limesand's disappearance, he and Thomas got into a heated argument about a water drainage problem. After Limesand vanished, authorities found his eyeglasses and traces of his blood at the approach to Rosland's farm.
Thomas turned himself into the police several days after the murder charge was filed against him.In November 2006, he pleaded guilty to manslaughter in connection with Limesand's disappearance. He admitted to having shot Limesand to death, but claimed it was a hunting accident.
Thomas agreed to help authorities find the missing man's body, but he stated he could not remember exactly where he concealed the remains. In 2007, he was sentenced to the maximum term of ten years in prison. He was paroled in 2014.
Limesand left behind a wife and eight children, four sons and four daughters. His remains have not been located, but foul play is suspected in his due to the circumstances involved. He was declared ly dead in 2002.
