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 William was last seen in Shasta County, California on June 25, 2020. He has never been heard from again.
William's son, Daun Eric Sanders, allegedly shot three people in Shingletown, California on June 27, two days after William was last seen. All three victims ultimately died of their injuries, two of them that same day and one of them a few weeks later.
Police named Daun as the sole suspect in the crimes and began looking for him, but he left the area and was killed on July 1 after he was struck by a vehicle on the freeway in Ontario, California. A photo of him is posted with this summary. When authorities were looking for Daun, they realized his father was missing.
Father and son lived in a trailer together on the same property, a few minutes' walk from the owner's house; they lived there rent-free and helped the property owner with chores. Authorities haven't stated whether William's disappearance is related to his son, but they believe William could be at risk. His remains unsolved.
