Her family last saw her when she went to the store to buy groceries and fill a prescription for her mother. Later that day, she was seen with a male companion at the Rock Inn at the corner of Cedar and Commercial. She has never been heard from again. Gracia's family wasn't immediately concerned by her disappearance, because she'd spoken of plans to travel to Missoula, Montana to find a job. But after she didn't answer her cellular phone for days, they contacted police. Her car was found behind the Anaconda Bar in the 500 block of east Commercial two days after her disappearance. Rotting groceries, the medicine she'd picked up, and her purse were locked inside it. Gracia wasn't showing signs of depression at the time of her disappearance and hadn't mentioned any travel plans other than her job search in Missoula. 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.
