missing

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 not known.
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 2–5% 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.

    Working for a neighbour today, had to nip home for cement and then later on I noticed my new Estwing straight claw hammer had gone. I've looked everywhere, there were two decorators there who I didn't know. I can't prove anything... I'm going back to cheap hammers again....

    Faulty Gas Tap - Knob Missing

    Just completed a landlord cert and there was a hob belonging to the landlord with a missing control knob. I categorised it as At Risk purely on the basis that if it was turned on it would be difficult to turn off. Is this correct as I can't find an answer in my book.
