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.

Details of Disappearance Archer was last seen leaving a gas station at the Shell gas station at the corner of Cherokee Road and Southwest Avenue in Johnson City, Tennessee at 8:30 p.m. on May 18, 2017. She got into a multi/primer colored sedan with a tall African-American man with a slender build. She appeared to be in good spirits at the time and not in distress. She has never been heard from again.
The last text message Archer's cousin got from her on the day of her disappearance simply said "Lov u". She was staying with him at his home at the time of her disappearance, and they were expected to have dinner together that night, but she never showed up. She was reported missing in early June, after no one was able to get in touch with her.
Although it's not uncharacteristic of Archer to accept rides from people, her cousin doesn't think she would have gotten into a car with someone she didn't know. The circumstances of her disappearance are unclear.
