The average amout of missing people in Estonia is 199 persons per year, although 70% of the missing persons in 2001-2005 were found alive, luckily. In 2007, night before 24th of June, a 19 year old girl Maris Järve was lost in Pärnu, she was last seen at 2.30 am at the beach promenade, and no one has heard anything about her ever since. She was so young, and had her whole life waiting for her, and although the police did everything that they could search the whole beach promenade, even the canebrake they didn´t find her. I imagine it is devastating to her family and her friends, and even if she would be found dead, the family would be better off than at the moment, unknowing about her well-being. They can only guess where she is or if she´s alive, and hope. Hope is what gives them the strength to continue with their normal day routine, and to let her go, from their hearts and souls. Hope is what makes them expect the best and to not worry. Hope is what makes their life bearable.
