Missing Karen Margaret Kincaid 
Kincaid, approximately 2002 Date reported missing : 10/03/2002 Missing location (approx) : Oakland, Oregon Missing classification : Endangered Missing Gender : Female Ethnicity : White DOB : 03/17/1944 (77) Age at the time of disappearance: 58 years old Height / Weight : 5'5, 180 pounds Medical conditions : Kincaid has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. She may have been depressed at the time of her disappearance. Distinguishing characteristics, birthmarks, tattoos : Caucasian female. Red hair, brown eyes. Kincaid may use the name Ciaran B. Murray. Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : Kincaid was last seen in the afternoon of October 3, 2002, at the Safeway store on northeast Stephens Street in the Metz Hill area of Oakland, Oregon. She has never been heard from again. Her dog, a neutered male Pomeranian named Pippen, disappeared with her and has never been found. Kincaid left behind her pet bird and cat, however. It was initially believed that Kincaid left of her own accord because of a recent divorce, but foul play is now suspected in her case. Investigators think finding Pippen may be key to solving Kincaid's disappearance, as whoever took her possibly took the dog as well, and may have sold it or given it away. Pippen would be seven or eight years old as of 2007. At the time of her disappearance, Kincaid was living in a small cabin on Sparks Road in Oakland. She was close to her family and it is uncharacteristic of her to leave without warning. 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.
