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.

Farrell never arrived as expected and has not been heard from again.
Farrell's mother reported her as a missing person on October 28. Farrell's dark blue 1988 Ford Escort was discovered abandoned in a remote area of Oroville, California at approximately 9:40 p.m. on October 31. It appeared that the vehicle had been pushed over a ravine and settled in dense brush off of Lower French Creek Road.
The Ford had been stripped by vandals prior to its discovery, and investigators were unable to determine if the thieves pushed the car into the canyon or if other factors were involved. There was no evidence of Farrell's whereabouts at the scene.
Farrell's mother said it is uncharacteristic of her daughter to leave without warning. Her remains unsolved. She resided in Gridley, California in 1993.
