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.

Age 13 years old
Height and Weight 5'5, 108 pounds
Clothing/Jewelry Description A denim jacket, a yellow-striped shirt, worn black corduroy pants and beige boots. Carrying a shoulder bag.
Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian female. Light brown hair, hazel eyes. Tammie has a homemade tattoo or scar of her initials, T. A. M., on her upper left arm. Her ears are pierced.
Details of Disappearance Tammie missed her morning bus to Saratoga Springs Junior High School on west Circular Street in Saratoga Springs, New York on April 19, 1986. She told her sister she would hitchhike to school instead. Tammie never arrived for her seventh-grade classes that day and has not been heard from again.
Around the time of her disappearance, she told friends she was planning on running away to Florida. Her mother didn't believe she would have run away, because she left all her clothes behind, and because on the day of her disappearance she was wearing her most worn-out pair of pants and a pair of uncomfortable boots that gave her blisters.
Tammie resided on Deerlap Place in the Geyser Crest neighborhood of Saratoga Springs at the time of her disappearance. Her mother reported her missing two days after she was last seen. There were several possible sightings of her over the years in Florida, Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont and California, but none of these were confirmed.
In February 2011, authorities announced they believe Tammie had been murdered and they had identified her probable killer as Arthur Mason Slaybaugh II. Slaybaugh was a corrections officer at Mt. McGregor Correctional Facility in Winton, New York. He died of a heart attack in 2001, at the age of 41.
He would have been in his mid-twenties when Tammie disappeared. She knew and admired him and thought of him as a mentor. Authorities had long considered Slaybaugh a person of interest in Tammie's , but they had little evidence against him until after his death, when witnesses came forward with information they had been too afraid to disclose before.
Tammie's parents now live in Cossayuna, New York, but her five siblings still live in the neighborhood she disappeared from. Authorities still hope to recover her body. Foul play is suspected in her due to the circumstances involved.
