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.

Details of Disappearance Sandra was last seen at her home near the Country Dale Elementary School in Franklin, Wisconsin at 11:30 p.m. on March 26, 2021.
Her husband, Wes Eckert Sr., stated they got into an argument over his late mother's will; Sandra wanted him to contest it. He said Sandra got up, got dressed and appeared to be preparing to leave, saying, "You'll hear from my lawyer." He took her car keys away and told her that they would talk about the issue the next day.
The couple slept in separate bedrooms and Wes did not see his wife after going to bed. When he woke up in the morning, Sandra and his own car were missing; she still had a key for it. He said she also took several thousand dollars in cash. She has never been heard from again.
At 3:00 a.m. on March 27, Wes's gray 2005 Dodge Stratus with the Wisconsin license plate number 319 LGT was sighted traveling southbound on Racine Avenue, westbound on Tans Drive and southbound on Crowbar Drive in Muskego, Wisconsin, about eight miles from the Eckert home. It has not been seen since. A photo of the car is posted with this summary.
Sandra's daughter said she didn't believe her mother would have taken her father's car, or driven anywhere in the middle of the night. Some of the couple's four children believe their father could have been involved in her disappearance. Wes denies this, and theorizes Sandra met with foul play at the hands of someone to intended to rob her.
Investigators believe Sandra was the victim of a homicide, and stated they have two persons of interest in her disappearance. Her remains unsolved.
