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.

Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian male. Black hair, brown eyes. DiSilvestro's nicknames are Billy and Billy D. He has the following tattoos: the word "SMOKE" across his upper back, the word "Juggalo" on the back of his neck, the Insane Clown Posse band logo Hatchetman on the left side of his neck, a tattooed necklace of the Hatchetman, Jesus carrying a cross on his upper right arm, a large angel on his upper left arm, flames on both wrists, dark eyeballs with flames at the crease of both elbows, a skull with a cowboy hat on one forearm, Jesus and the devil on his other forearm and the words "Your Name" on his hip. Photos of the tattoos are posted with this summary. DiSilvestro has scars on his head. He has a closely-trimmed beard and mustache and keeps his hair cut very short.
Details of Disappearance DiSilvestro was last seen at a friend's home in the 200 block of Ross Avenue in Hamilton, Ohio on February 7, 2011. He tried to call his mother and his grandmother at 2:30 a.m., but neither answered and he did not leave a message. He may have been planning to ask them for a ride. He then left the house between 3:00 and 6:00 a.m., and never returned.
He may have been on the way to his grandmother's house, which was two miles away. The most logical route he would have taken in that would have been through a forested area known as Millikin Woods. He never arrived at his grandmother's and has never been heard from again.
DiSilvestro's family reported him missing on February 11. He lived on McWhorter Drive at the time of his disappearance. He has dropped out of sight before for a few days at a time, but never for this long. He left his cellular phone at the Ross Avenue residence he disappeared from, and he didn't have his medication or any money.
Little information is available as to DiSilvestro's fate, but his family believes he's deceased.
