Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : Grossman was last seen leaving his residence in Boca Raton, Florida on August 3, 1997. He got into a brief argument with his mother and left on foot at 9:30 p.m., without any identification or money. He has never been heard from again. His mother at first assumed he had simply gone to stay with some friends for a few days. She reported him missing two days later.
Grossman's family suspects foul play was involved in his case. Three months after his disappearance, his girlfriend received a telephone call from someone who stated his body had been dumped in a canal near southwest 18th Street in Boca Raton. A search of the canal turned up no clues, however.
Authorities stated Grossman had no problems at home and wasn't involved with gangs. He was a senior at Spanish River High School, had a part-time job as a camp counselor at St. Andrews School, and planned to go to college. It's uncharacteristic of him to leave without warning or be out of touch with his loved ones.
Palm Beach County, Florida authorities are investigating Grossman's case.

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.
