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.

Lemons, date, approximate 2014
Date Missing 11/03/2014
Missing From
Chillicothe, Ohio
Missing Classification Endangered Missing
Sex Female
Race
White
Date of Birth 03/10/1977 (45)
Age 37 years old
Height and Weight 5'7, 135 pounds
Clothing/Jewelry Description A t-shirt, jeans and camouflage-print sneakers.
Medical Conditions Lemons has a history of drug abuse.
Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian female. Brown hair, blue eyes. Lemons has a scar on her right leg, which is damaged from a car accident. She has multiple tattoos, including dolphins forming a heart shape on her lower back, and her ears are pierced. Her previous surnames were Hodges and Jackson.
Details of Disappearance Lemons was last seen in Chillicothe, Ohio on November 3, 2014; her last communications with her family were messages to her adult daughter via text and Facebook.
A friend stated he saw Lemons on the day of her disappearance and that he heard she'd gone to Texas with an African-American male truck driver named Darius or Demarcus Thomas. She frequents the Galveston, Texas area.
Lemons has never been heard from again. Although she's been known to be out of touch with her family, it's uncharacteristic of her to not call or visit them over the holidays.
Her disappearance may be connected to the disappearances of Megan Lancaster, Holly Logan, Jayme Bowen and Charlotte Trego, and the deaths of Tameka Lynch and Tiffany Sayre. All the women were involved with drugs, some of them had places and people in common, and Trego, Lemons, Lynch and Sayre all disappeared from the same city in the same one-year period.
Trego and Lynch, who were friends, went missing on the same day: May 3, 2014. Lynch's body was found in Paint Creek three weeks after her disappearance; the autopsy determined she'd died of multiple drug overdoses and the manner of death was undetermined. Lemons disappeared six months later, and on May 11, 2015, Sayre disappeared. Her body was found in a creek on June 19; she'd been murdered.
There's speculation that a serial killer could be behind the disappearances and deaths, but no suspects have been named in any of the s. They remain unsolved.
