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 Casper has a history of alcohol abuse and had been through a rehabilitation program prior to his disappearance.
Associated Vehicle(s) 1986 Ford van (accounted for)
Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian male. Brown hair, brown eyes. Casper may have a mustache, beard or a goatee. He has a three-inch scar on his right knee and a scar on his left elbow. He has a tattoo of the cartoon Casper The Friendly Ghost on his left arm and a tattoo of a Marine bulldog on his body.
Details of Disappearance Casper was a gunnery sergeant in the United States Marine Corps in 1995. He was last seen dropping his daughter off at Sherwood Forrest Elementary School during the morning hours of May 19, 1995 in Norfolk, Virginia. Casper was expected at work at 9:00 a.m. but never arrived. He never returned home and has not been seen again.
Casper's 1986 Ford van was discovered abandoned in Norfolk on May 30, 1995, 11 days after he disappeared. The vehicle was unlocked and the keys were in the ignition. His wallet was found on the back seat of the van, open to a picture of his family. His driver's license and long-distance calling card were also on the seat, but his military identification was missing.
Casper's ashtray in the car was filled with cigarette butts and there was sand on the driver's side floor, which is uncharacteristic of him; he usually kept the car clean and neat. There was no sign of him at the scene. Investigators stated that the evidence in the Ford appeared to have been staged.
Casper's ATM card was used at approximately 9:00 a.m. the day he disappeared. One request was rejected for insufficient funds; in the other, less than $20 was withdrawn. Someone made a series of withdrawals and transfers from Casper's account in the days preceding his disappearance. Some money was transferred to his checking account and about $600 was withdrawn. The money came from advances Casper had gotten for work-related travel, but he had not yet traveled anywhere. His ATM card has not been used since May 19.
Casper was married for the second time at the time of his disappearance; his first marriage ended in divorce. His relationship with his second wife was troubled and there were allegations that he was unfaithful to her.
Casper's wife tried to commit suicide shortly after his disappearance. She stated that although there were problems in her husband's life, she did not believe he would willingly abandon his children, whom he was very close to. She has since had him declared ly dead.
Casper is originally from Rigby, Idaho. He was only six months away from from retirement at the time of his disappearance. He's a skilled auto mechanic and was good at his job, but kept his personal life private. He enjoys the outdoors, particularly mountains and forested areas. His remains open and unsolved.
