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.

Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Asian male. Black hair, brown eyes. Alghannam's nickname is Mo. He was born in Saudi Arabia.
Details of Disappearance Alghannam was last seen in New Orleans, Louisiana on March 28, 2015. He lived with his sister in San Antonio, Texas and was studying mechanical engineering at the University of Texas at San Antonio. He disappeared while visiting his uncle in New Orleans.
Alghannam and his uncle stayed for three nights at the Extended Stay America hotel in the 3300 block of south Interstate 10 in Metairie, Louisiana. His uncle stated Alghannam paid for his share of the hotel bill in cash, which was uncharacteristic of him; he usually used a debit or credit card to cover his expenses.
On March 28, they went their separate ways; Alghannam's uncle dropped him off near Bourbon Street at 9:30 p.m., then drove overnight to Arkansas. They exchanged text messages on the morning of March 29. Alghannam was supposed to take a Greyhound or MegaBus Lines bus back to San Antonio. It's unclear whether he ever arrived there. He has never been heard from again.
Alghannam is originally from Saudi Arabia. He was struggling in school at the time of his disappearance, and his student visa has since been terminated, but his family stated it was uncharacteristic of him to simply vanish. He enjoys photography as a hobby. San Antonio police are investigating his disappearance.
