Missing vs. Endangered Missing

This is just an example, of Arkansas Law on Missing Vs. Endangered Missing.

Missing: A family member, friend, etc, as turned up missing. Unknown reasons. This meets the Arkansas State and FBI stats of Missing Persons.

Endangered Missing: Customer goes and gets gas at an all night convenience store. Enters the store. Blood on the floor, register open and empty, employee is no where to be found. This is Endangered Missing.

Car door open, keys in the ignition, engine running, lights on, purse and driver are not present, and Police can not locate anywhere. This too is Endangered Missing.

Circumstances indicate the seriousness of the Missing Person.
