Missing persons refer to individuals whose whereabouts are unknown and who have not been seen or heard from for an extended period of time. This status can arise due to various circumstances, including abduction, voluntary disappearance, accidents, natural disasters, or in situations where individuals may suffer from mental health issues or memory loss. The term encompasses a wide range of cases, from those that are reported to law enforcement to those that may remain unreported. Missing persons cases can involve urgent search and rescue operations, public appeals for information, and investigations by law enforcement agencies. The impact of a person going missing can be profound, affecting families, friends, and communities emotionally and socially. Efforts to locate missing persons often rely on cooperation among various authorities, community involvement, and the use of technology such as social media and databases.
