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 female. Black hair, brown eyes. Sachiko is of Japanese descent; she was born in Japan and moved to the U.S. at the age of sixteen. Her ears are pierced.
Details of Disappearance Sachiko was last seen in Tucson, Arizona at 8:00 a.m. on May 1, 2018. She lived in the 3900 block of south Amber Rock with her husband, James, and their daughter, Jeni. Sachiko and James had recently moved there from Hesperia, California to help Jeni while she underwent treatment for cancer.
On May 1, Jeni's estranged husband, Norman Schrank III, abducted both Jeni and Sachiko from their residence. Two days later, he was found with Jeni, who was bound and injured but alive, at a cabin he had rented in Pine, Arizona. There was no sign of Sachiko, however.
Jeni is blind and did not know what had happened to her mother. She was treated for her injuries and resumed her cancer treatments. She stated that after the abduction, Schrank stopped several times, including at a storage unit where she heard him opening a combination lock. When they arrived at the cabin in Pine, he left Jeni alone in an upstairs bedroom and was in and out of the cabin several times during the night.
Schrank was arrested on multiple charges in connection with the women's kidnappings. He confessed to abducting both women and to putting a plastic bag over Sachiko's head, and said he had only wanted to talk to his wife. Jeni had filed for divorce earlier in 2018.
Several days later, he was also charged with Sachiko's murder. The charges included second-degree burglary, two counts of kidnapping, one count of first-degree murder, aggravated assault, theft of a vehicle and abandoning or concealing of a dead body or body parts.
A photo of Schrank is posted with this summary. On May 16, he was found unresponsive in his jail cell. His death was ruled a suicide. Investigators are convinced that he murdered Sachiko and think her body could be in the vicinity of Pine, where he and Jeni were eventually located.
Sachiko's remains have never been found, but foul play is suspected due to the circumstances involved.
