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.

Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Hispanic female. Black hair, brown eyes. Hernandez is originally from the Dominican Republic. Her nickname is Rosi. Her ears are pierced.
Details of Disappearance Hernandez was last seen in Jupiter, Florida on November 28, 2016. She was living with her three children in a women's shelter there at the time. She has never been heard from again. In December of that year, her estranged husband, Daniel Paul York, moved to Monticello, Kentucky with Hernandez's children, his stepchildren. A photo of York is posted with this summary.
York and Hernandez had been married for less than a year by the time of her disappearance. In September 2016, York filed for custody of her three children, saying she was an unfit mother who was suffering from untreated mental health problems.
The next day, Hernandez filed for two restraining orders, accusing York of physical abuse. She also said she believed he was sexually abusing her oldest child, a daughter who was then thirteen years old. A judge granted a restraining order against York. On November 14, Hernandez asked the court to dissolve the restraining order.
She disappeared two weeks later, and York suggested she might have simply left him. He said Hernandez needed "time to herself" and might have returned to her native Dominican Republic, and said she had "done this many times, just not for this long."
Child protective services in Kentucky took custody of Hernandez's children in February 2018. In March, Hernandez's youngest daughter, age eleven, told her therapist that York had sexually assaulted her multiple times between early 2017 and early 2018. In April, the oldest daughter, now fifteen years old, ran away from her foster home to be with York.
The pair was located in Pulaski County, Kentucky in June. The girl was found hiding in a closet and was taken into protective custody, and York was charged with multiple counts of incest and rape. Messages from York were found on the child's phone; they discussed the possibility of having a baby together.
Authorities haven't named York a suspect in his wife's disappearance or said what they think happened to her. Hernandez's sister in the Dominican Republic believes her disappearance is suspicious, as she describes her as a devoted mother who wouldn't have abandoned her children. Her disappearance remains unsolved.
