Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : Look was last seen in Hallock, Minnesota on October 1, 1995. She spoke to her daughter on the phone that day. Around that same time, she cashed a check. She never had contact with her family again. Look had moved to Minnesota from New Mexico with her boyfriend earlier that year. She and her boyfriend had a history of partying and drinking alcohol to excess, and there may have been domestic violence in the relationship. She did, however, stay in contact with her mother and her three daughters. She said she was thinking of moving back to New Mexico. It wasn't until February 1996 that her daughter reported her missing. There was a rumor that she got on a bus and went to New Mexico, but police could find no evidence to support this, and her local friends were surprised that she didn't say goodbye to them. She didn't own as vehicle and it would be uncharacteristic of her to hitchhike. Authorities have lost touch with Look's boyfriend, but they believe he lives in Florida. The circumstances of her disappearance are unclear and her case 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.
