Woman Reported Missing By Her Mom Ends Up On 'The Bachelor'

The sad reality of "missing persons" is that in most cases, the individuals aren't missing at all: they're usually dead.

In order for law enforcement to legally declare someone dead, there has to be a body. And if there's no body, then that individual is reported as missing, unless someone files a petition for the person to be declared dead in absence.

Rebekah Martinez was officially declared missing by her mother on November 18th, 2017, but thankfully she wasn't missing or harmed at all.
