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.

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.

He has tattoos covering both arms and on his back, chest and shoulders, including the name "Anita" inside a cross on his right arm/shoulder, a wolf's head on his chest, the word "Victory" on the right side of his chest and shoulder, the words "Self Made" on the left side of his chest, and the name "Jacquline" on his right arm. Photos of some of his tattoos are posted with this summary.
Details of Disappearance Madlock was last seen in Lincoln, Nebraska on June 28, 2017. He has never been heard from again. His brother reporter him missing on July 10; his family stated his disappearance was uncharacteristic and they thought something might have happened to him.
Prior to Madlock's disappearance, he had been afraid for his life. He began behaving strangely after he returned home from a trip to the Dominican Republic on June 19. He said he had met a woman there and he wanted to send her money to buy a home. He also said he'd borrowed $2,000 from "some Crips in California" and couldn't pay them back.
Madlock had asked a former girlfriend if he could "stay with her and lay low" because some people might be trying to kill him. He had started getting messages sent to him on his cellular phone from people he didn't know, the people sent him photos of his former residence. In late June, an unknown Omaha, Nebraska woman threatened retaliation from her family because Madlock denied being the father of her child.
In February 2018, Dominic. G. Aguirre and Paul A. Clark were each charged with second-degree murder, kidnapping, first- and second-degree assault, and using a firearm to commit a felony in Madlock's . Photos of the two defendants are posted with this summary
Investigators believe the two men went to Madlock to collect on a drug debt, then severely assaulted him in multiple locations in Lincoln before he died. According to confidential informants, Aguirre and Clark think they took the victim's body to a farm near Ashland, Nebraska, put it in a barrel and burned it for three days.
Both defendants took plea deals in Madlock's death. Aguirre pleaded guilty to first-degree assault and attempted kidnapping, and Clark pleaded no contest to assault and weapons charges; the murder charges for both were dropped. They were sentenced to sixty to eighty years in prison.
Investigators searched the farm where Madlock's body was supposedly burned and found bone fragments, but it turned out they weren't human. Foul play is suspected in his due to the circumstances involved.
