the LE need to reliaze that every time some one over 18 goes missing, they don't alway leaveon their owns. some time it the other way around. this why my daughter Lisa Michelle Hatchell is still missing to this day, the LE stated that she is over 18, and maybe she just left, this was five years ago, and to this day they never did a CSI on the property that she was last seening at. no, adult does not just leave on their owns.

America's Silent Epidemic
In 2006, 173,903 missing adults were entered into the FBI's National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database, but many adults who go missing are never reported.

Every year, the media covers a few high-profile stories of adults who suddenly go missing, people like Chandra Levy or Laci Peterson. For each of these women's anguished families, there are untold numbers of other families who are coping with the agony and chaos that comes when a loved one is missing. Most of those families will never gain the closure that Chandra's and Laci's families found. Instead, they may spend years wondering about the fate of their loved one.

Resources
The Nation's Missing Children Organization & National Center for Missing Adults
The Nation's Missing Children Organization expanded to accept adult cases in 1995, and The National Center for Missing Adults was created with the passage of Kristen’s Law in October 2000. The first national clearinghouse for missing adults, the Center serves as a central repository of information available to the general public, advocacy groups, law enforcement officials and medical examiners. The Center also provides support, technical assistance and advocacy services to families dealing with the loss of a missing adult.
