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.

Clothing/Jewelry Description A yellow tank top, blue jeans and white sneakers.
Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian female. Brown hair, blue/hazel eyes. Cable may spell her middle name "Renaee" or "Renee" and may use the name Roberta Renee Fisher. She has a tattoo on her hip of the cartoon character Tweety Bird carrying a rifle, and scars on her hip and both knees. Cable goes by her middle name, Rene or the nickname Nana.
Details of Disappearance Cable was last seen at her home in the 1700 block of Owen Drive in Clearwater, Florida on December 14, 2013. She was supposed to start a new job at a restaurant on December 16, but never showed up for her first shift and has never been heard from again. She was reported missing in January by a friend who hadn't been able to contact her for weeks.
When questioned by police, Cable's roommate, Jerry Gaston, said she'd moved out to go live with relatives. However, none of Cable's family, who all live out of state, had heard from her, and she always contacted them at Christmastime.
Cable has a minor criminal record and was once ordered into treatment for substance abuse, but hasn't had any contact with law enforcement since 2013. Authorities have classified her disappearance as suspicious, and their main suspect in her is Gaston. He made contradictory statements about her disappearance and eventually stopped cooperating with the investigation. The police found unspecified evidence at their home on Owen Drive.
Gaston died of natural causes in 2016. Cable's remains unsolved.
