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.

Norbert Anthony Dantzman
Dantzman, date, approximate 2019
Date Missing 08/30/2019
Missing From
Winter, Wisconsin
Missing Classification Endangered Missing
Sex Male

White
Date of Birth 06/20/1930 (92)
Age 89 years old
Height and Weight 5'9, 136 pounds
Clothing/Jewelry Description A checkered shirt, a black vest, black pants, black shoes, a light colored baseball cap, and a ring on his right hand.
Medical Conditions Dantzman suffers from dementia and other cognitive issues. He is, however, very physically fit and mobile for someone his age.
Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian male. Gray hair, brown eyes. Dantzman's nickname is Tony. The index fingers on both his hands are crooked. He wears prescription eyeglasses and dentures, and he had a gray beard at the time of his disappearance.
Details of Disappearance In August 2019, Dantzman traveled from his home in Crescent City, California to Winter, Wisconsin for a family reunion. He arrived on August 29 and stayed in the Northern Lights Motel with his daughter and son-in-law. On the morning of August 30, he left the motel on foot and never returned.
Surveillance footage the motel showed Dantsman walking out of the building to his vehicle. He tried to open it, but the car was locked, so he walked to the back of the motel and continued walking north. He was sighted at 9:30 a.m. near the Norwood Trailer Court, about a quarter-mile north of the motel; this is the last time anyone saw him. Dogs tracked his scent to Highway 70; he may have been picked up by a passing motorist.
Dantzman didn't have any identification or cash at the time of his disappearance. He may not realize he is a missing person and may be attempting to return home to California, or he may try to travel to Arizona, where he and his late wife spent a few months every year. He had worked as a merchant mariner along the Great Lakes, and he enjoyed vacationing in the southwestern U.S. and hunting and trapping in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Idaho.
His remains unsolved.
