siderable number of years is difficult to identify, particularly if the disappearance occurred in childhood. For example, a person's facial features at ten years of age are liable to be different to features at sixteen; at least different enough to create confusion.

In circumstances where there has been some evidence of violence or the reason for absence is unusual, then a prompt investigation is called for.

The reasons for a person being reported as missing are many. They can be runaway cased; slavery; prostitution; drug addiction; or simply moving away without notice.

It is interesting to note that of the several thousand Americans who make it to the missing persons list, nearly four-fifths arechildren. If a missing person is not found for a period of seven years, and there is no adequate proof to suggest existence, then he or she is pronounced a "legally dead".

Over one million people are reported missing each year around the world, of which nearly 90 percent are eventually found.

Often, relatives give a photograph of the missing person to the concerned agencies who are liable to put out a missing persons' list, whether that is the police, newspaper or a website. They do it with the hope that someone will identify the individual and give valuable leads that will eventually lead to finding the missing person.

A person who has been missing for a considerable number of years is difficult to identify, particularly if the disappearance occurred in childhood. For example, a person's facial features at ten years of age are liable to be different to features at sixteen; at least different enough to create confusion.

There are experts in the field who can come up with computer generated images of what a missing child would look like after five or six years. They are generally very accurate.
