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 Grant was eight months pregnant at the time of her disappearance; the baby, a girl she planned to name I'yanna Ree Grant, was due on September 16, 2016.
Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics African-American female. Black hair, brown eyes. Grant's hair was in a ponytail at the time of her disappearance. Her ears are pierced in the lobes and the upper cartilage. She has a tattoo of eight birds flying on her forearm; a photo of it is posted with this summary. Grant's nickname is Gata.
Details of Disappearance Grant was last seen in Kilgore, Texas at approximately midnight on the night of August 19-20, 2016. She has never been heard from again.
Her family never believed she had left of her own accord, as she was looking forward the birth of her baby and had purchased many things for it. She spent part of every paycheck from her job at the Chicken Express on baby clothes, diapers and other supplies, and she planned to take only a short maternity leave so she could provide for her daughter.
The baby things, and all of Grant's belongings, were left behind. Authorities found evidence that indicates both Grant and her unborn daughter were killed shortly after Grant was reported missing.
Grant's house in the 700 block of Martin Luther King Street caught fire and was completely destroyed a month after her disappearance, but investigators don't think this was related to her disappearance. Two suspects were charged with insurance fraud in connection with the fire. One of them was Grant's older sister, who also lived in that house.
In March 2017, Laneshia Lashae Young and Allen "Lamont" Sutton Jr. were charged with tampering with or fabricating physical evidence in Grant's ; the evidence they allegedly tampered with was a human corpse.
Photos of Sutton and Young are posted with this summary. Grant's family stated Sutton is her ex-boyfriend and the father of her unborn child, and that he had repeatedly threatened her after she became pregnant. A car belonging to Young and Sutton was repossessed after Grant disappeared, and the trunk liner was discovered to be missing. There was blood in the trunk and DNA matched it to Grant.
Both suspects were convicted of tampering with physical evidence with intent to impair a missing persons investigation, although Sutton is appealing his conviction.Although investigators believe Grant was a homicide victim, no one has been charged in connection with her actual presumed death and her body has never been found. Her remains unsolved.
