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.

Holtville, Alabama

White
Age 43 years old
Height and Weight 5'3, 120 pounds
Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian female. Brown hair, blue eyes. Susan's ears are pierced. Her nickname is Susie.
Details of Disappearance Susan and her son, Evan Chartrand, were last seen in Holtville, Alabama on May 29, 2017. They lived on Waterview Lane near Highway 111 with her second husband of four years, Jerry Marshall Osborne. They have never been heard from again. Susan's family lived out of state and, after two months without being able to contact the pair, they reported them missing on July 29. She had never gone more than a day or two before with calling or texting them.
Susan's two cherished dogs were later found at an animal shelter; they'd been dropped off on June 12. Both her and Evan's belongings are missing from the home, but Susan left behind her daughter behind, and her family doesn't think she would have voluntarily abandoned her.
When the police went to the house to investigate the disappearances, Jerry told them that on May 29, Susan had decided to leave him and a man had picked her up. The next day, he said, the man returned to the house and removed furniture and other belongings. Susan's car was left behind, however.
Shortly before she and her son disappeared, Susan found out Jerry had previously worked at a gay escort before their marriage, advertising his services online. She recognized him in the ad photos by the tattoos. She told her best friend about it by email, asking her not to mention it in texts because Jerry had started reading those. She said she thought Jerry was still escorting and spoke about leaving him, but later said she and Jerry had worked things out and she still loved him.
Although Jerry had completely remodeled the house after his wife and stepson disappeared, repainting the walls and replacing the hardwood floors with carpet, authorities later found approximately twenty possible bloodstains in their home, which were sent away for DNA testing. Jerry said he had to repaint because Susan spray-painted vulgar phrases on the walls before she left.
Neighbors reported that in the summer of 2017, Jerry burned multiple items of furniture on his property. The house had an elaborate security system with cameras at every door, but by the time the police began investigating, all the footage from the time of Susan and Evan's disappearance was gone because Jerry had bought a replacement system on June 1.
Since Susan went missing there hasn't been any activity on her credit cards, phone or social media accounts. Her best friend said Susan had never said anything about seeing another man, and she appeared to have changed her mind about leaving Jerry. Evan's prescriptions have not been refilled since his disappearance, and he missed an oral surgery appointment scheduled for a few days later. He was supposed to start his sophomore year atHoltville High School in the fall, and the school hasn't gotten any requests from other schools for his transcripts.
Jerry is considered a person of interest in his wife and stepson's disappearances, but he maintains his innocence. The two s remain unsolved and foul play is suspected.
