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.

Details of Disappearance Rasheeyda was playing on the fire escape of an apartment building in San Diego, California on July 15, 1991. The building superintendent asked her and her friend to move away from the fire escape because it was dangerous.
The two girls left the area immediately and Rasheeyda went home, stayed awhile and then left again at 2:30 p.m. Rasheeyda said that she was going to walk to downtown San Diego. She never returned home and has not been seen again.
Her mother called the police after she didn't arrive home for dinner at 8:00 p.m. She had gone missing once before, months prior to her disappearance, and was then found safe later that day.
Rasheeyda lived with her mother and younger sister in a single room at the Yale Hotel on F Street, across the street from the building where she was last seen. The area was known as a hotbed of crime and the police later forced the hotel to close. There was speculation that drugs were involved in some way in Rasheeyda's disappearance, and her mother was asked to take a polygraph test. No suspects have ever been publicly identified in the .
Two other young girls disappeared from the San Diego area around that time, one a few weeks before Rasheeyda disappeared and one a few months after. Both of them were later found murdered, and separate suspects are now in prison for the crimes.
Investigators didn't find any evidence to link those s to Rasheeyda's. She is described as a streetwise and extremely friendly girl. Foul play is suspected in her disappearance, which remains unsolved.

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.
