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.

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.

Medical Conditions Timperley is developmentally disabled and has the mental capacity of a thirteen-year-old. She suffers from high-functioning autism and schizophrenia, and needs daily medications which she doesn't have with her. Her doctor was adjusting her medications at the time of her disappearance, and she was delusional, seeing and talking to people who weren't there. She may have extreme emotional episodes, or episodes where she doesn't speak or respond to her surroundings.
Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian female. Brown hair, brown eyes. Timperley may dye her hair other colors, or wear a wig. Her ears are pierced, and her nose and navel had piercings which have healed. She has a "stork bite" type birthmark on the back of her neck. She also has a burn scar. Timperley wears black eyeglasses with pink frames. Her nickname is RoseMarie. She may use the alias names Amy, Candy, Sasha and/or Shannon.
Details of Disappearance Timperley was last seen in Okmulgee, Oklahoma at the care home where she was a resident during the early morning hours of February 2, 2016. She went to bed at 10:00 p.m., but kept getting up. The last time the staff saw her was at 2:30 a.m.
Before her disappearance, Timperley's doctor planned to admit her to the hospital. She was going to go as soon as a bed became available. Timperley was unhappy about this, as she didn't like the hospital. She had never run away from the care facility, but had previously run away from foster homes. She would usually come home on her own within a few hours.
A few days before her disappearance, Timperley was on the phone with someone, whom she said was "Uncle Charles." She said he was going to get her to take her to a family funeral. However, there was no one by that name in Timperley's mother's family or her stepmother's family, and authorities don't know who "Uncle Charles" was or if he had anything to do with Timperley's disappearance.
