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.

He also suffers from epileptic seizures and hepatitis, and he's HIV-positive. Moline needs medication which he doesn't have with him. His medical conditions make him weak; he isn't able to walk far and his shoulders dislocate easily. He has a history of heroin abuse, but was in recovery at the time of his disappearance.
Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian male. Black hair, blue eyes. Moline has the words "CASH ONLY" tattooed across his fingers and a tattoo on the top of his left wrist just above his hand. He may have other tattoos and piercings as well.
Details of Disappearance Moline was last seen in Detroit, Oregon on June 30, 2011. He was traveling with four friends to a party in Bagby Hot Springs in the Mount Hood National Forest when they got lost just before dark.
According to his friends, they were low on fuel and wanted to turn back, but Moline insisted on going on, left the vehicle with his backpack and started walking down the road. Moline's friends said they waited half an hour for him to return, then turned around. He has never been heard from again.
Moline's mother believes foul play was involved in her son's disappearance. She stated they were close to each other and in daily contact, and she doesn't believe he would have left without contacting her. An extensive search of the area turned up no sign of him; the circumstances of his disappearance are unclear. Because of Moline's medical conditions, he is considered to be at risk.
