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 Slaughter was last seen by his wife on November 14, 1993, at their home in the 2700 block of west 10th Street in Owensboro, Kentucky. He left to walk to Franey's Food Mart, a convenience store in the 800 block of Carter Road, five or six blocks away. He said he would be back in less than an hour, but he never returned. He has never been heard from again.
Surveillance cameras show he never arrived at the store, although someone who knew him claims to have seen him in the store's parking lot. Slaughter did not drive at the time of his disappearance and normally walked to places he wanted to go. He was a regular customer at Franey's, coming in several times a week.
In 2002, investigators in Slaughter's spent two days searching his home in the 2700 block of west 10th Street for evidence in his disappearance. Slaughter's wife, who has since remarried, gave her consent for the search. It is unknown what, if any, evidence was located, but authorities did seize a door for forensic testing.
Authorities do not believe Slaughter left of his own accord, but the circumstances surrounding his disappearance are unclear. He had a job with the city sanitation department in 1993; he had held it since 1977 and his boss described him as a good employee with a good work history. His family stated it is extremely uncharacteristic of him to leave without warning.
Slaughter's wife stated he had been behaving normally prior to his disappearance, was in good health and was not having any problems that she knew of. Foul play is possible in Slaughter's , but it remains unsolved.
