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 For a few months prior to her disappearance, Strohmeyer was exhibiting symptoms consistent with rapid onset dementia. She was scheduled to take a battery of tests with medical experts to get a diagnosis. She needs to take medications daily and doesn't have her medicine with her.
Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian female. Blonde hair, blue eyes. Strohmeyer wears eyeglasses.
Details of Disappearance Strohmeyer was last seen outside her apartment on Millhaven Place in Germantown, Maryland on February 3, 2016. Prior to her disappearance, due to the concerns about her health, her family had been keeping a close eye on her.
Her daughter checked on her at 7:00 p.m. and then she called her son at 7:15 and they spoke for fifteen minutes. Neighbors saw her walking back and forth on the sidewalk in front of her apartment building later that night; she had this before to clear her head.
When Strohmeyer's daughter called the next morning to see how she was and whether she'd taken her medication, she got no answer. Her daughter came to her home and discovered the car was there, the bed was made and her mother was gone.
She left behind all her belongings, including her purse, money, credit cards, identification and cellular phone, inside her residence, and has never been heard from again.
Strohmeyer took only her house keys when she disappeared. There were no signs of forced entry to the residence and her bed was made the way her caregiver usually made it, suggesting she disappeared during the evening hours. The night she was last seen, there was dense fog in the area.
Strohmeyer wasn't comfortable leaving her apartment, particularly by herself; she usually left home only while in the company of a caretaker or one of her children.
Although foul play is not suspected in her disappearance, an extensive search of the neighborhood turned up no sign of her and there is concern for her welfare. Her remains unsolved.
