Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : McCallum was last seen leaving her grandmother's home in Montvale, New Jersey on March 11, 2015. She was driving a black 1998 Subaru Impreza with the New Jersey license plate number N32-EAY. She has never been heard from again. Her vehicle was later found abandoned in Long Branch, New Jersey. There were no indications that McCallum had planned to run away. She was staying with her grandmother when she disappeared, but had stopped at her parents' home the night before to pick up a phone charger. She left all her clothing and belongings behind, as well as her dog, whom she adored and even took to work with her. One theory is that McCallum took her own life, perhaps by walking into the ocean in Long Branch, where her car was found. There is no evidence to support any theory, however. Her case remains unsolved. Other information and links : ncy Oakland Police Department 201-337-6171 September 2021 updates and sources 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. 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. |
