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.

Details of Disappearance Crispo was last seen in Hanson, Massachusetts on August 7, 2019. Her car was in the repair shop and her son-in-law was giving her a ride that day. She was driven to a Cumberland Farms store, purchased cigarettes there and then was dropped off at her home on Spofford Avenue at 5:00 p.m.
Crispo had given her daughter Laina McMahon's phone number to the car mechanic as a contact number. On August 8, the mechanic called McMahon to let her know what needed to be done on the car, and when McMahon called her mother to tell her, Crispo didn't answer. She tried to call several more times but never got an answer. McMahon was concerned, and Crispo was supposed to watch her daughter's three sons that day, so she decided to go to the house early.
When McMahon arrived at the house, the back door was unlocked, the air conditioner and lights were on, and Crispo was gone, along with her shoes and purse. Her dog was there, without any food or water, which is uncharacteristic of Crispo's behavor. Inside the refrigerator was a watermelon cut up and ready for her grandchildren to eat. Nothing appeared to be out of place, except the bed boards had been taken off the bed and it appeared that someone had lifted up the mattress.
Crispo did not own a computer or cellular phone at the time of her disappearance, and since she went missing there has been no activity on her bank accounts. She had moved to Hanson from the Houghs Neck area of Quincy, Massachusetts only three months earlier. She had no known medical issues and no history of leaving without warning.
McMahon fears her mother met with foul play, but police are uncertain what happened to Crispo. Her remains unsolved.
