Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : Crowe was last seen in Santa Cruz, California on September 10, 1998. He was a self-employed computer consultant and lived alone in an apartment on the east side of the city. That day, he called a company to ask for details about a web design project he was going to start for them. He was supposed to call back later that day, but he never did and has never been heard from again. He was reported missing after a week. Crowe left behind fresh produce in his refrigerator and a half-read book lying out on his table; his family doesn't believe he planned to disappear. They stated it's uncharacteristic of him to leave without making arrangements for someone to pick up his mail and water his plants. His 1993 Nissan Altima with the license plate number 3EER261 was found parked in a hidden turnout off Gazos Creek Road Big Basin Redwoods State Park. It was dirty on the outside, but locked, and there were no indications of foul play. Police initially theorized he'd taken his own life, or gotten lost while hiking in the park, but now foul play is suspected in his case. Crowe's disappearance remains unsolved.

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. Several organizations seek to connect, share best practices, and disseminate information and imAge at the time of disappearance: s 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.
