Yeah this one just struck me as strange. If you fall into water, and sink to the bottom your body will begin to decompose then fill with gasses, and surface, and wash up on shore. With the P.D. only finding a leg with a shoe on it makes me think foul play.
@@DoctorRobertNeville ---There was some cases about finding people's feet in a shoe washing up on shore...don't forget that wildlife can also eat us too like sharks.
I once saw an interview with a detective who finds people who faked there deaths and he said he’s never once found a woman he’s said this means either A) women just do it less B) women are much better at no getting caught (not doing obvious things like returning to partners and family afterwards) The interviewer posited C) their investigation techniques are tailored on male behaviour and the more men they find the more solidified that becomes.
My brother, 12 yrs. Older than me, invented the term "ghosting". Hadn't talked to him in 20+ yrs then reconnected on Facebook for about 1 month. He ghosted again. I thought nothing of it. Until 3 months later I see a post on FB in Spanish ( we live in different countries) about his death. He had died of a heart attack at 57 yrs old
Ashley Martinez from Saint Joseph, Missouri. Ashley was the same age as me being 15 when she dissapeared in the summer of 2004. I've had the strangest connection to her and have a constant drive to find her and what happened to her. The day she dissapeared her Mom dropped her and her little brother off at a local pool in our city called Krug Pool. When her mom came to pick them back up, only her little brother was there. She had used a friend's phone to call a 32 year old man at the time named Christopher M Hart. Apparently they had been talking for a bit before this and discussed taking a road trip to Ohio or Washington, I believe. She was seen being picked up by him in the car he drove at the time. Ashley was never seen or heard from again. When Christopher was questioned for it, he refused to speak about Ashley and the his car was never seen again either. He's currently in prison right now for different crimes and has been there for a little bit but will get out at some point. I believe when he does he will dissapear too taking the truth about what happened to Ashley with him. I want to go to his court dates but I can't figure out how to get more information about them. The police suck in my city and haven't found anything at all since she dissapeared. I believe she is dead and that she is somewhere near the north part of our city not far from where she was picked up from. I've contacted so many sources on RUclips, tv shows, channels, etc. No one will bring attention to her. She deserves to be put to rest properly. She deserves justice. But I don't have much faith it will ever happen. I've considered going around where i believe she is to investigate myself but haven't yet. If you see this, please share her story. Here is a link to one of the web pieces done on her: storiesoftheunsolved.com/2020/05/13/the-disappearance-of-ashley-martinez/amp/ Thank you. #AshleyMartinez:LittleGirlLost
"Bad times friend ahead. Maybe no computer. Maybe no home. I go away but we are two of soul. I will return." -Anon, last online 615 days ago as of March 2013
If they ever log back in you gotta ask what happened. If they were able to turn it back around based on their grim outlook it would be a complete rollercoaster of a journey.
My buddy is missing right now. Few years ago, he up and moved out west to Dallas, Oregon for his own benefit. Few months ago, he hasn't been heard from. His mother and brother post about him, desperately trying to find him but no luck. We are preparing for the worst, but we hope he turns up. If anyone has any information, his name is Cody Martinez. He is about 29 years old. His family would appreciate any information.
I probably did this. I just kinda left after high school, went to college, and just kinda left there. I don't have any real social media presence, aside from here and Reddit. I'd like to think there's still people wondering what happened to me, but my cynical side doubts it.
I barely knew her, but a woman I knew through friends of friends has been missing for 3 years now. She was last seen at a house in the not great part of town, and then literally just poof, disappeared. No leads. No suspects. She had kids and theres absolutely no way she would've left them willingly. FBI has even been involved, but theres been zero updates. I feel so badly for her family. 😔 her name is Sarah Burton if anyone wants to look up her case.
Yes! A friend of mine disappeared years ago about 5 years after she moved to California. She moved there for a model talent scout. She did some modeling & seemed to be going places. Then her Facebook posts and text replies dwindled and her last Facebook post said something about living under a bridge, homeless, and her much older boyfriend commented on her post, saying that he was sorry for losing his temper and asking her to come back home. No one, but even her mother, has heard from her for years. My heart broke when I came to the realization that she may not be alive anymore
This is sad. Have you or her mother thought of filing a missing person's report? Maybe that might help get some closure and maybe some answers as to what happened
I had a friend my son was very good friends with her daughter, one day her husband came home (they were asylum seekers) she came to see me to give me a gift to tell me that her family were moving to Canada I gave her my email, phone number and my address. I never heard from her again, I assumed she didn't see need to keep in touch or that she lost my details. But Caroline if you read this I hope you are having the life you deserve and are happy
I never met her, but it was my bio grandmother's cousin. She disappeared while painting her fence in Hesperia (CA) one day in May of 1967 and no one ever saw a trace of her again. No suspects, no leads, but foul play is suspected. All of her personal things (wallet, ID, keys) and the wet paintbrush and open paint can were all left behind, and her dogs were left running around, despite the fact that she was rarely seen without them by all accounts.
My mother's cousin. He was arguing with his mother, got angrier, took his shirt and simply left. His mother and the whole family searched in the city, his girlfriend's city, called the local TV, pasted missing posters but no one appeared to see him. That was about 20 years ago and we still don't know what happened
This story made me remered that my drama teacher missed weeks of school then she ended up on the news for committing suicide in the ocean and all the students in my school didnt know she was that sick
My ex disappeared. I know, that sounds typical. But a mutual friend even asked me if I'd heard from her any time in the recent past, but I hadn't heard anything. No social media, can't find anything online. It was strange
Some girl I slept with disappeared too. She had slept with 2 other friends of mine and one wanted to contact her for a hook up. We never found her. I did see her about 5 years later at a Walmart with some dude and a baby.
Had this online friend for 3-4 years who constantly talked about how his family is soon moving to Hawaii and how we'll be out of touch for a bit when he moves. For two years nothing. Now every once or twice a year he'll contact me asking for social media to add me on so we can catch up, then he goes off the grid again.
Was told this story by my old supervisor at a different mill than where I work now. At a sawmill here in Kentucky, some guy disappeared from work. Friend/supervisor said it was highly unlike him to just disappear, so they called his wife. She hadn’t seen him either. Long story short, it was winter and he had one of those heavy Carhartts on while unplugging a chipper (you usually have to leave it on to) and it sucked the board in, and the board got caught on his sleeve and pulled him in. The night crew found the boot that night and thought to watch the camera recording. Dude was gone in less than a second. Always roll your sleeves up or take it off. Better to be cold than disintegrated
That is heart wrenching 🙏🏽 More than just traumatizing, poor man didn’t even get to think about it. Makes me grateful he didn’t suffer but so bad that he didn’t know and just left 🙈💜🙏🏽 I hope his family may heal and his soul be at peace
@@inaty22 chippers aren’t something you fuck around with lol I’ve had more than my fair share of close calls with them. Don’t fear them if you have to work around them, just respect them, respect them a lot
My voice teacher. He was like a father figure to me, and one day he just dropped off the face of the earth. None of his friends, colleagues, or students had any idea what happened to him until he eventually just popped up in another state years later, teaching high school choir. However, despite multiple attempts by multiple people to contact him, he has never replied to anyone. Because he and I were so close, it hit me really hard. Even though we know he’s at least alive, the fact that he won’t talk to us has kept me from getting any closure.
Write a (snail mail) letter to him. Address it to school, no return address on outside. Tell him how you feel. At least you will have your feelings expressed, and he will know. After that, it’s on him.
There was one person I remember who went missing. A few years ago, I was going to the local community college to hang out with friends between classes. I'd entered the workforce straight out of high school, and on the side was in the competitive yugioh scene. Through that, I'd met a ton of people, including a girl around my age. Friend tried to play matchmaker, but there were some things that were just incompatible between us, and I never pursued her as anything more than a friend. We'd talked about banlists and decks and played a couple of times, and we were decent enough friends. Then one day, she disappeared. I checked her Facebook and found she hadn't posted anything. No local news articles about her either, she was just gone. She stopped showing up at college, stopped showing up at work, she was just gone. Relatives posted on her FB that they weren't sure what happened, and that they'd wish she'd come back home. I sent her a couple messages, but the account I sent them from is long deleted- it's unlikely I ever got a reply. Dunno where she went, hope she's okay.
I was technically missing for a few hours one day back when I was in preschool. My school was connected to a decently large church through a kitchen and one day both doors got left open for some reason so I took it upon myself to explore the church side. I've always been small (still am rip), and so it took a long time to catch me. My mom says that her and like 3 cops very quickly learned that I didn't leave the building so she wasn't nearly as worried anymore cuss I was never the type to run away. She told me to come out, but I decided to play hide and seek instead by giggling in one room, then sneaking out and giggling in another. She says it took like 4 hours to finally catch me cuss I eventually got tired and just went to my mom on my own. All in all she told me that other than one of the cops who was grumpy everyone was a pretty good sport about it. She was mad cuss I worried her, but I can't help but still find it funny as hell. I hope that doesn't make me a bad person.
Not sure if this counts but one of my online friends disappeared. He told me that he won't be around much longer irl. Based on how he phased that I think he's dead. He could just not be online anymore, I don't know what happened to him. He stopped talking to me September last year. His account is still up, but I never see him online. I still miss him and sometimes re-read our messages.
Had a best friend through most of elementary. One year he just vanished. I couldn't find anything on him and actually just found out he's in Detroit, almost 10 years later.
I live in a small rural town in Indiana and many towns like mine in this state have a combined elementary, middle, and high school. We shared a school where the city our school was in was a population of about 200. Our principal became a science teacher at one of the other schools and we got a new principal. Shortly after, one of our teachers stopped showing up to school. He didn't tell us goodbye. He didn't pack up his stuff from the classroom. He just disappeared. I heard someone say that he said he moved to Indianapolis to be with his girlfriend, but I heard someone else said that's what he claimed, but he actually only wanted that job because he was friends with the original school principal. (I looked him up on Facebook out of curiousity and know he's still alive.) (Unrelated, that was the single most unprofessional thing I've seen an instructor do, although I've had more unpleasant teachers/professors).
On a less serious note, a childhood friend of mine, one who I was once really close with for a long time, has completely ghosted his family and all of the friends he had grown up with. The last thing any of us heard about him was his attempting to get into med school (he certainly had the academia prowess to do it), but not even his own brother or parents know of his current status or whereabouts. Whatever his reasons are, I’ll never know.
My seventh grade bestie just disappeared one day. She didn't show up for school, which wasn't unusual. When I went to her house to see her it was empty. I've tried to find her on search engines and social media, but now I think Chelsea Bellm wasn't her real name. Still looking for a woman named Chelsea Bellm. We went to Litchfield Middle School in Illinois, and took Mr. Hannah's resource math class
Oddly enough, I sometimes have the idea of just disappearing and never being heard from again but I could never encourage or bring myself to actually do it
This case particularly still haunts me to this day: so back in 2018, I was speaking with a fine black woman (not going to expose her real name for safety reasons) on this group social platform named GroupMe and she came to me via direct messaging and confessed to me that I reminded her of her deceased boyfriend and how I was the first guy that never sexualized or antagonized her in any form or fashion. I have never met this woman beforehand (I was an undergraduate college in South Carolina and she was either in Georgia or California) but she was always there for me, even during one fire drill one early morning. I'll never forget her but I would love to just find and reconnect with her and just lay my eyes on her, confirming to me that she is 100% real and not nothing that was in my head.
I left. Abusive "parents", bigoted "siblings", poor work prospects "back home". I landed a job abroad for a year, it turned into a new and better life. I cut off all contact permanently, never looked back. I track their social media and newspapers online to make sure they don't know where I am. Governments won't tell anyone where you are without permission (re: passports and country of residence). Best decision ever.
Can relate. I disappeared when I was a teenager, as soon as I found somewhere safe to live. The abuse had just gotten worse and worse over the years and disappearing was the sane choice.
Coworker who joined after my area became WFH. One day she just didn’t log in. Other than a few comments we didn’t make a fuss, as it’s not the first time someone mixed up their days and our boss hadn’t noticed. Next day we brought it up, thinking she had taken time off and it wasn’t on the calendar or maybe she went into labor a little early. No one could get through to her phone or emergency contacts. We brought it up to HR to keep trying/bring it up to the police. Still have no idea what happened. We knew she was worried about the vaccine mandate and getting the vaccine while pregnant, but being in her third trimester should have allowed her a delay. It’s possible she may have just quit without notifying anyone so she could get a couple extra weeks paycheck. We all hope she’s alright.
Oh my god YALL LISTEN 27:38 this happened to alot of people I am talking about the wilderness program in Utah. Many people have started speaking up about it under the tag #breakingcodesilence or something similar. Everyone of them was in a similar situation. Kidnapped by strangers, sent to the airport with them and landing in this program where they would suffer until they were sent back home. Holy shit I am so sorry for this kid. The stories from this camp are horrible.
A person I grew up with 4-5 years younger than me, the son of my parents plumber. He got into drugs and was homeless. I had moved away by that point. He called a family member saying he was going to off himself. He was missing 2 years before I heard.
I once had a friend in primary school. I don’t remember much about her but the things I do remember was her name was savannah and she would say some weird things about her family life I can’t remember what exactly I just remember feeling uncomfortable but she was cool. Anyways one day she just stops showing up to school no one comes to collect her books or anything she just disappears and I never found out what happened to her.
Two of my friends have. I moved away and lost contact. All of our mutual friends have no idea where they are or what happened to them. We are all spread out but we were very close. Especially the one. She was my roommate for a long time. I worry about them.
My cousin. So my cousin was adopted. By the time she was 3, it was clear she had some severe difficulties of the social type. She was a literal genius, IQ tested and everything, but she just had so many strange things she did - like she was reading Jane Austen at the age of 8, and when her teacher told her to read See Spot Run, she refused because she thought it was beneath her. Her parents ended up putting her in home school, and she even got kicked out of youth group at the church because she could infuriate the entire room full of kids. Unfortunately, her parents were two of the closest minded people I've ever met, who thought there was only one right way to be, that there was probably no such thing as mental illness and if there was it just needed to be slapped out of you. Plus her dad was a bit peculiar himself, and was actually happy that she didn't get along with most kids because "she's better than them and shouldn't be friends with them." Her mom was a little more grounded than her dad, and they'd sometimes go back and forth with "well she doesn't have to be friends with them but she needs to learn how to treat people politely" "no she doesn't she's too good for them we don't even want her associating with the likes of them." So she at no point ever got any sort of help for her problems. When she went away to college she fell off the wagon, hard. She ended up marrying a man over twice her age against her family's wishes (he was a creep, but not really relevant to the story). Then she lost a ton of weight - she'd always been morbidly obese, but she got on the ketogenic diet and became thin and hot. So she started cheating on her husband. He died in his late 50s of a heart attack while she was in her late 20s/early 30s. She immediately rushed off to get with some big man on campus hunkasaurus she'd known from her college days who wouldn't have anything to do with her while she was fat but perfectly happy to rail her while she was skinny. The last time I talked to her, she told me some story about how she was telling him the way she'd mistreat her husband and how he'd throw her out a window for doing it, and he responded 'I would not, you wouldn't be worth the window or the glass' and she acted like it was the sexiest thing anyone had ever said to her. Or so she told us. She was a chronic liar. Well, her mom may have been a terrible mother through ignorance but she did love her, and tried to get her to come home. So my cousin changed her name legally. And none of us have heard from her since. We all worry since the last thing we heard was that she was with a guy who liked to treat women badly and roughly, and despite being a genius had a total lack of common sense, including a lack of self preservation (she's the type that would yell at the crowd of black men on the corner to quit cussing).
Not sure this counts but one of my friends that I knew from highschool comes online randomly for a day and then disappears for months, maybe close to a year or so, no idea why he just does it. We have no way of contacting him as he never responds back to basically anything and constantly makes new emails for unclear reasons. He then comes back online as if nothing happens and says he will most definitely continously come online and talk to us as it is agreed by me, him and another friend before doing it all over again. I stopped considering him as a friend entirely and I just come into chat whenever he comes online but since then I stopped trying to contact him as I am all exhausted all resources on him. What's even more annoying is that he messages me then quickly deletes it and says "I shouldn't have said it if was cringe" which is bs to me and refuses to talk again.
My ex and I had a good friend. He used to show up to our house parties and we invited him to go to warped tour with us one year. We brought him along he seemed to be having a great time and was super happy. We brought him back he walked to his car and we haven't seen or heard from him since. We tried texting and calling him but never got a response it's been years since that happened. Drake if you ever see this comment by chance reach out my guy we've always wondered what happened to you and if your ok.
I unfortunately have two stories: I was best friends with a girl in elementary school and the last time I ever saw her was when we rode our bikes home from school together. She literally never showed up to school again after that day and she never mentioned to me that she was moving or switching schools so it was completely unexpected. Each time I asked my teacher what happened she would just say she moved away in a condescending manner and quickly change the subject after. I also repeatedly called and knocked on her door for weeks but never got an answer and most of the other kids didn’t seem to care or even remember her for that matter, it was super weird and creepy. Someone once told me a very strange & disturbing story about once seeing her running outside completely naked in the middle of winter. I never did find out where she went or what really happened to her but I never forgot her and I hope she’s ok. Over the years I’ve tried looking her up on various social media platforms but no one that even resembled her showed up; it’s literally like she just disappeared in mid air. A very close friend from high school didn’t have the best relationship with her family and she ended up running away from home and was missing for about 3 weeks. Unfortunately, her body was found in a lake 10 minutes away from her house and her death was ruled a suicide. My heart breaks for both of my friends and I still love and miss them so much. I hate how my HS friend ended her life and I wish I had closure on what happened to my ES friend. 💔
Have two odd stories my family history. A great uncle in the 1920-30s moved from Idaho to the Midwest and subsequently disappeared. The family was unable to contact him for several years. In the meantime, his mother (my great grandmother) moved to Los Angeles. One day she and her sister were shopping downtown and the sister pointed out a guy working the pharmacy counter that looked like her son. Turned out to be him. He had changed his name and ended up in LA. I found that he had been married during the time he was missing, but it seems like a rather drastic measure just to skip out on a marriage. After that he remained in contact with the family but kept the new name. He never told anyone why he had done it, not even his later wife (I asked her). Later he was questioned in the black dahlia murder - he worked not far from where she disappeared and the body was found a couple minutes from his home. But I dont think he had anything to do with it...he was kind of a joker. Also my grandfather (brother of the guy above) had a step son that disappeared in the late 1940s. He was living in a home for troubled youths (granddad had already divorced his mother). His mom picked him up for the holidays and afterward she dropped her son off at the boys home. But when she tried to contact him a couple weeks later, the home didn't know where he was. Apparently the last time she saw him he was in a waiting room to be checked in. She hired an attorney to look into the disappearance of her son (have a letter sent to granddad about it), but he was never found. I think it was in WA or OR. Since he was a step son he wouldn't show up in a DNA search of relatives.
There was a girl that used to work in the front end of the store with us, and we were friends and she would give me rides home somtimes, then said she had enough of the front end and started working in a different department. Then she got really, REALLY paranoid, and then just up and quit and I never heard from her again. She blocked me on her phone and stuff, and that was it. I often wonder if she's okay, but I suppose I'll never know.
In college a friend of mine developed bipolar disorder and had to drop out. For a long time, we stayed in touch via social media and FaceTiming each other and I used to come up to her house on weekends. One day she sent me a message thanking me for being her friend and saying that the next day she was going for a job interview and to wish her luck. I literally never saw or heard from her again after that. She never responded to any of my messages or even read them and all of her social media was deleted shortly after. None of her other friends even knew where she was or what happened and I had no means of contacting any of her family members, it was literally like she just dropped off the face of the earth.
My ex gf, many years after we broke up. She has adult children now, none mine (as far as I know). They don't seem to be overly concerned about their mum.. Apparently, disappearing people is not nearly as uncommon as you'd think. Scary thought.
I'm late but here's one that I know of: So during the 70s-80s the Marcos administration wasn't really looking good, with Marcos' political rivals start going missing etc. By the 80s the country got strict censorship and reporters and journalists are either killed or never to found again. My home economics teacher told us that one day his brother went out to do a report or something like that but he never went home that night. He said that his parents would've rather have their son dead than missing because at least if he was killed they'd have a body to bury. But until now, 30 years passed, they still don't know where his brother is or if he's still or dead somewhere.
I had an ex that disappeared. Somewhere around 2011. He’d gotten bad into drugs and dealing, and was frequently robbed. As far as I know, he’s still missing, no body has been recovered, and there’s no evidence he’s been arrested again since he disappeared
I had a friend named Zach. He dropped out senior year of high school and was going through some mental issues and was on probation. The last time we talked he told me it wasn’t safe for me to be around him and he’d contact me when he was better. A year later I got what I assumed were spam calls and eventually I answered after recognizing they called me multiple times. The person wouldn’t tell me their name but I was sure it was him the second time he called. Later I got a voice message saying to never contact him again (after he contacted me). I worry he might be in jail, homeless, or dead. I haven’t seen him in almost 4 years. None of our mutual friends know what happened. I was the last one to hear from him. I really hope he’s doing better.
Probably an order from up high, plus maybe the grandparent and child requesting privacy. But yeah I agree. Not answering basic things like that just makes it worse.
My best friend from age 13 to 16 ghosted me. We had plans to meet up and she just stopped answering to my messages. She has social media but doesn't use it so I couldn't see what she's up to through there. I was devastated and was blaming myself for years wondering what did I do wrong for her to just simply abandon me. Recently I saw on her mother's Facebook that she is engaged and travels alot with her fiancée. Good for her I guess but it left a scar.
I know two people who vanished (to me, at least) one was this kid I used to be friends with, I ended up bullying them later on bc shitty toxic friends and all that, yeah after awhile I stopped seeing them I think they just moved honestly, but I do wish I could find them again and apologize. The other one is a bit more tragic, I was in a long distance relationship with this guy (well technically I was dating his boyfriend who wasn't long distance) we knew him for about a year(?) He was gay, trans and didn't have the most supportive parents. The story ultimately culminates in him being homeless, living out of his car, he kept speaking with us for a while, but he just,,,,, stopped? It was a few years ago and I think he might be dead now, I didn't know him too well but I still think about him sometimes
When I was in grade nine I became friends with this guy Mike. In grade ten he moved away to Toronto. From what I heard he was walking home from school shortly after he had moved there; never to be seen again.
My dad disappeared. When i was 14 he got kicked out. The last message i got from him on my Instagram was Christmas 2017 and then nothing. What is strange about it is that he has always tried to look up someone he knew at least twice a year and basically cyber stalks them. He was doing that with me but all of fb accounts disappeared or are inactive and its like he dropped off the face of the planet. I've been claiming he's dead cause his absence is really uncharacteristic of him.
I have never known anybody well enough to keep track of them. I really have had no friends since fifth grade. This semi-anonymous RUclips rant is my only online existence. I have no true social media network accounts at all. I have no family in the continent I reside. I have no friends. There is no reason to keep track of anybody if I know nobody. I am the disappeared one.
My friend from hs disappeared for two years. He resurfaced a town over after my friend found out where he worked. Turns out he was living with his abusive ex who wouldnt let him use his phone while they were tigether, and when they broke up his ocd got so bad he stopped trying to contact people. Another year later and he's gonna move out and back to our city. Ditching his mooch of an ex Too. I stg i thought this guy died for awhile. He manages a walmart! He's coming to visit us this weekend and im gonna hug him like crazy
When I was a teenager I had a lot of emotional and mental health issues and when I was 15 I used to go to this group therapy once a week for teenagers with emotional problems. I met this girl there that I ended up becoming very close friends with until one day she stopped responding to my messages and when I went to group therapy a few days later, she didn’t show up and the therapist didn’t know where she was either and couldn’t get a hold of her. I never saw her or heard from her again. I’ve tried looking her up on social media but couldn’t find anything.
Had 2 uncles disappear from commercail fishing in Alaska in the 1950s. Found pay stubs from one for a couple years after he vanished but no sign of him. The other we tracked down after he drowned in a fishing boat accident in Oregon in the 1980s.
I had a cousin vanish one day back in the late '90s. No one could find him. Well one day I was up in Seattle WA., and I saw him walking down the sidewalk. I said, "Donnie?" he took one look at me and ran like the Devil himself was chasing him. After getting home I called his parents, and told them what happened. I guess they called the P.D. and let them know that he is in Seattle. I never heard anything after that. So Donnie if you read this I miss you man. Typo: spelling
A couple of the so-called "Smart" alumni from my college who I graduated with seemed to have fallen off of the face of the earth because no knows whatever happened to them.
My Hk friend. It was during the second wave of covid. I live in USA so I can't look for her. There are three possible situations. 1) death by Covid 2) Lost interested in me 3) China got her. The last message from her was about avoiding China covid camps.
Hey I appreciate brother. Keep bringing awareness to what's really going on out here and keep leading ppl to the Lord. You can reach so many ppl and your words are wise. ❤️
After reading all these comments i can assume that most of you need to dump that ego in the trash where it belongs and reach the f out to the missing person.
I had a good friend from 6th grade( 1996 )until we were around 21 then I lost contact with him. Nobody knew where he went or what happened. Found out around a year ago, thanks to the internet, that he died around the time we lost contact. I can't find any cause of death information.
I’m writing a Power Rangers fanfiction about this, it’s sort of about the fandom itself, but it’s also about the rangerverse as I like to call it. The premise is this: Rachel Ager tried to disappear in the night with her sister from their mother and the deadly cult they grew up in, but when the escape goes awry, Rachel finds her self transported to the world of a television show she and her sister Loved to watch, will Rachel wake up in time to protect her sister like she promised, is she even alive in her real world anymore? It’s supposed to be a series of books where Rachel would encounter multiple people drifting through the Rangerverse like she is. So how is this relevant to what’s being talked about in this video, you ask? Well the main character is trying to disappear as if into thin air, I’d say that’s pretty relevant.
The brother of a friend of mine went missing We found out at the BBQ my friend was hosting Most agreed he’d hopped on a train to London We were recruited to search for him, we looked everywhere local The police located him in guess where.. LONDON!!! My friend was not happy we were right and he was wrong
My uncle moved to Florida in the 90s (before I was even born) and literally nobody has heard from him since. If anyone down in Florida knows a Richard Abbot LMN
Yall if someone gives you a sotry then drops you suddnely and you only knew them online... they likely just dont want to speak to you anymore. I know it hurts, but ive seen it happen time and time again. This is qhy online friendhsips are such a negative in my mind. You dont actually know that person, and rhy could easily just leave you at anytime
Physically or mentally? Because the person I knew slowly began fading the deeper she went into the JW religion they’ve been in. Already bad enough the twin is nuts. Now I do not even recognize them anymore and it feels like the bond had been severed. The person in question claims we still have one but all I sense is pure evil. I mean, sure I’ll occasionally make small talk but something is making me feel like I have to run away.

The one with the mother who drops flowers in the ocean for her son.. that hurt. Made me shed a tear.
Yeah this one just struck me as strange. If you fall into water, and sink to the bottom your body will begin to decompose then fill with gasses, and surface, and wash up on shore. With the P.D. only finding a leg with a shoe on it makes me think foul play.
@@DoctorRobertNeville ---There was some cases about finding people's feet in a shoe washing up on shore...don't forget that wildlife can also eat us too like sharks.
I once saw an interview with a detective who finds people who faked there deaths and he said he’s never once found a woman he’s said this means either A) women just do it less B) women are much better at no getting caught (not doing obvious things like returning to partners and family afterwards)
The interviewer posited C) their investigation techniques are tailored on male behaviour and the more men they find the more solidified that becomes.
It's A.
It's B.
I think it’s a little bit of all of the above but I’m not a detective so IDK
Or they're actually dead 🙄
@@no_peace his job wasn’t to find dead people it was to find people faking their death. He found plenty of dead woman that just wasn’t his focus.
My brother, 12 yrs. Older than me, invented the term "ghosting". Hadn't talked to him in 20+ yrs then reconnected on Facebook for about 1 month. He ghosted again. I thought nothing of it. Until 3 months later I see a post on FB in Spanish ( we live in different countries) about his death. He had died of a heart attack at 57 yrs old
💙
Aww.. Michelle I don’t know what to say except reading your story made me tear up.
Im sorry.
He definitely didn't invent the term ghosting but okay

Ashley Martinez from Saint Joseph, Missouri. Ashley was the same age as me being 15 when she dissapeared in the summer of 2004. I've had the strangest connection to her and have a constant drive to find her and what happened to her. The day she dissapeared her Mom dropped her and her little brother off at a local pool in our city called Krug Pool. When her mom came to pick them back up, only her little brother was there. She had used a friend's phone to call a 32 year old man at the time named Christopher M Hart. Apparently they had been talking for a bit before this and discussed taking a road trip to Ohio or Washington, I believe. She was seen being picked up by him in the car he drove at the time. Ashley was never seen or heard from again. When Christopher was questioned for it, he refused to speak about Ashley and the his car was never seen again either. He's currently in prison right now for different crimes and has been there for a little bit but will get out at some point. I believe when he does he will dissapear too taking the truth about what happened to Ashley with him. I want to go to his court dates but I can't figure out how to get more information about them. The police suck in my city and haven't found anything at all since she dissapeared. I believe she is dead and that she is somewhere near the north part of our city not far from where she was picked up from. I've contacted so many sources on RUclips, tv shows, channels, etc. No one will bring attention to her. She deserves to be put to rest properly. She deserves justice. But I don't have much faith it will ever happen. I've considered going around where i believe she is to investigate myself but haven't yet. If you see this, please share her story. Here is a link to one of the web pieces done on her:

Thank you.

If they ever log back in you gotta ask what happened. If they were able to turn it back around based on their grim outlook it would be a complete rollercoaster of a journey.
God that story hit me in the feels.
My buddy is missing right now. Few years ago, he up and moved out west to Dallas, Oregon for his own benefit. Few months ago, he hasn't been heard from. His mother and brother post about him, desperately trying to find him but no luck. We are preparing for the worst, but we hope he turns up. If anyone has any information, his name is Cody Martinez. He is about 29 years old. His family would appreciate any information.
Update?
@@jordo4707 Still missing. No one has heard from him still.
@@jayl111792 oof
Sorry about your friend, man. Any news?
Any updates to this?
I probably did this. I just kinda left after high school, went to college, and just kinda left there. I don't have any real social media presence, aside from here and Reddit. I'd like to think there's still people wondering what happened to me, but my cynical side doubts it.
Same here, for the most part.
Hey, i did the same, i don't think they, the bullied in particular would recognize me anyway, i say good riddance! Lol have a pleasant day!
I did the same, I had social media for a little while but left it
Lol same
I don’t think this counts lol
I barely knew her, but a woman I knew through friends of friends has been missing for 3 years now. She was last seen at a house in the not great part of town, and then literally just poof, disappeared. No leads. No suspects. She had kids and theres absolutely no way she would've left them willingly. FBI has even been involved, but theres been zero updates. I feel so badly for her family. 😔 her name is Sarah Burton if anyone wants to look up her case.
Yes! A friend of mine disappeared years ago about 5 years after she moved to California. She moved there for a model talent scout. She did some modeling & seemed to be going places. Then her Facebook posts and text replies dwindled and her last Facebook post said something about living under a bridge, homeless, and her much older boyfriend commented on her post, saying that he was sorry for losing his temper and asking her to come back home. No one, but even her mother, has heard from her for years. My heart broke when I came to the realization that she may not be alive anymore
This is sad. Have you or her mother thought of filing a missing person's report? Maybe that might help get some closure and maybe some answers as to what happened
I had a friend my son was very good friends with her daughter, one day her husband came home (they were asylum seekers) she came to see me to give me a gift to tell me that her family were moving to Canada I gave her my email, phone number and my address. I never heard from her again, I assumed she didn't see need to keep in touch or that she lost my details. But Caroline if you read this I hope you are having the life you deserve and are happy
I never met her, but it was my bio grandmother's cousin. She disappeared while painting her fence in Hesperia (CA) one day in May of 1967 and no one ever saw a trace of her again. No suspects, no leads, but foul play is suspected. All of her personal things (wallet, ID, keys) and the wet paintbrush and open paint can were all left behind, and her dogs were left running around, despite the fact that she was rarely seen without them by all accounts.
My mother's cousin. He was arguing with his mother, got angrier, took his shirt and simply left. His mother and the whole family searched in the city, his girlfriend's city, called the local TV, pasted missing posters but no one appeared to see him. That was about 20 years ago and we still don't know what happened
This story made me remered that my drama teacher missed weeks of school then she ended up on the news for committing suicide in the ocean and all the students in my school didnt know she was that sick
My ex disappeared. I know, that sounds typical. But a mutual friend even asked me if I'd heard from her any time in the recent past, but I hadn't heard anything. No social media, can't find anything online. It was strange
Some girl I slept with disappeared too. She had slept with 2 other friends of mine and one wanted to contact her for a hook up.
We never found her.
I did see her about 5 years later at a Walmart with some dude and a baby.
My sister disappeared entirely from existence 5+ years ago. I have suspicions as to why she disappeared, but I can't get any of them confirmed.
Had this online friend for 3-4 years who constantly talked about how his family is soon moving to Hawaii and how we'll be out of touch for a bit when he moves. For two years nothing. Now every once or twice a year he'll contact me asking for social media to add me on so we can catch up, then he goes off the grid again.
Was told this story by my old supervisor at a different mill than where I work now. At a sawmill here in Kentucky, some guy disappeared from work. Friend/supervisor said it was highly unlike him to just disappear, so they called his wife. She hadn’t seen him either. Long story short, it was winter and he had one of those heavy Carhartts on while unplugging a chipper (you usually have to leave it on to) and it sucked the board in, and the board got caught on his sleeve and pulled him in. The night crew found the boot that night and thought to watch the camera recording. Dude was gone in less than a second. Always roll your sleeves up or take it off. Better to be cold than disintegrated
That is heart wrenching 🙏🏽 More than just traumatizing, poor man didn’t even get to think about it. Makes me grateful he didn’t suffer but so bad that he didn’t know and just left 🙈💜🙏🏽
I hope his family may heal and his soul be at peace
@@inaty22 chippers aren’t something you fuck around with lol I’ve had more than my fair share of close calls with them. Don’t fear them if you have to work around them, just respect them, respect them a lot
My voice teacher. He was like a father figure to me, and one day he just dropped off the face of the earth. None of his friends, colleagues, or students had any idea what happened to him until he eventually just popped up in another state years later, teaching high school choir. However, despite multiple attempts by multiple people to contact him, he has never replied to anyone. Because he and I were so close, it hit me really hard. Even though we know he’s at least alive, the fact that he won’t talk to us has kept me from getting any closure.
Write a (snail mail) letter to him. Address it to school, no return address on outside. Tell him how you feel. At least you will have your feelings expressed, and he will know. After that, it’s on him.
@@ax2usn That’s actually the first thing I did, but although pretty honest, it definitely wasn’t as honest as how I actually felt lol
There was one person I remember who went missing.
A few years ago, I was going to the local community college to hang out with friends between classes. I'd entered the workforce straight out of high school, and on the side was in the competitive yugioh scene. Through that, I'd met a ton of people, including a girl around my age. Friend tried to play matchmaker, but there were some things that were just incompatible between us, and I never pursued her as anything more than a friend.
We'd talked about banlists and decks and played a couple of times, and we were decent enough friends. Then one day, she disappeared. I checked her Facebook and found she hadn't posted anything. No local news articles about her either, she was just gone. She stopped showing up at college, stopped showing up at work, she was just gone. Relatives posted on her FB that they weren't sure what happened, and that they'd wish she'd come back home. I sent her a couple messages, but the account I sent them from is long deleted- it's unlikely I ever got a reply. Dunno where she went, hope she's okay.
The story about the Vietnam war grandfather could literally be turned into a movie
I was technically missing for a few hours one day back when I was in preschool. My school was connected to a decently large church through a kitchen and one day both doors got left open for some reason so I took it upon myself to explore the church side. I've always been small (still am rip), and so it took a long time to catch me. My mom says that her and like 3 cops very quickly learned that I didn't leave the building so she wasn't nearly as worried anymore cuss I was never the type to run away. She told me to come out, but I decided to play hide and seek instead by giggling in one room, then sneaking out and giggling in another. She says it took like 4 hours to finally catch me cuss I eventually got tired and just went to my mom on my own. All in all she told me that other than one of the cops who was grumpy everyone was a pretty good sport about it. She was mad cuss I worried her, but I can't help but still find it funny as hell. I hope that doesn't make me a bad person.
Not sure if this counts but one of my online friends disappeared. He told me that he won't be around much longer irl. Based on how he phased that I think he's dead. He could just not be online anymore, I don't know what happened to him. He stopped talking to me September last year. His account is still up, but I never see him online. I still miss him and sometimes re-read our messages.
Had a best friend through most of elementary. One year he just vanished. I couldn't find anything on him and actually just found out he's in Detroit, almost 10 years later.
The priest story had me in first part, NGL.
Ssserrrrrrrrrrrr
Good guy priest
So did the priest
I live in a small rural town in Indiana and many towns like mine in this state have a combined elementary, middle, and high school. We shared a school where the city our school was in was a population of about 200. Our principal became a science teacher at one of the other schools and we got a new principal. Shortly after, one of our teachers stopped showing up to school. He didn't tell us goodbye. He didn't pack up his stuff from the classroom. He just disappeared. I heard someone say that he said he moved to Indianapolis to be with his girlfriend, but I heard someone else said that's what he claimed, but he actually only wanted that job because he was friends with the original school principal. (I looked him up on Facebook out of curiousity and know he's still alive.) (Unrelated, that was the single most unprofessional thing I've seen an instructor do, although I've had more unpleasant teachers/professors).
On a less serious note, a childhood friend of mine, one who I was once really close with for a long time, has completely ghosted his family and all of the friends he had grown up with. The last thing any of us heard about him was his attempting to get into med school (he certainly had the academia prowess to do it), but not even his own brother or parents know of his current status or whereabouts. Whatever his reasons are, I’ll never know.
My heart broke for the brother whose brother was found dead.
My seventh grade bestie just disappeared one day. She didn't show up for school, which wasn't unusual. When I went to her house to see her it was empty. I've tried to find her on search engines and social media, but now I think Chelsea Bellm wasn't her real name.
Still looking for a woman named Chelsea Bellm. We went to Litchfield Middle School in Illinois, and took Mr. Hannah's resource math class
FindAGrave has many Bellm family members. You can check those posts for familiar names ...relatives often mentioned.
I’ve had 4 best friends, the first two moved away without a word, my third best friend and I drifted away, and my fourth and I are still friends
Oddly enough, I sometimes have the idea of just disappearing and never being heard from again but I could never encourage or bring myself to actually do it
Me 💀
It’s my way of fantasizing living life out free because in this one I’ve always never existed.
I'm honestly about to do that due to a extremely shitty homelife
Have everything set for it
This case particularly still haunts me to this day: so back in 2018, I was speaking with a fine black woman (not going to expose her real name for safety reasons) on this group social platform named GroupMe and she came to me via direct messaging and confessed to me that I reminded her of her deceased boyfriend and how I was the first guy that never sexualized or antagonized her in any form or fashion. I have never met this woman beforehand (I was an undergraduate college in South Carolina and she was either in Georgia or California) but she was always there for me, even during one fire drill one early morning. I'll never forget her but I would love to just find and reconnect with her and just lay my eyes on her, confirming to me that she is 100% real and not nothing that was in my head.
I left. Abusive "parents", bigoted "siblings", poor work prospects "back home". I landed a job abroad for a year, it turned into a new and better life. I cut off all contact permanently, never looked back. I track their social media and newspapers online to make sure they don't know where I am. Governments won't tell anyone where you are without permission (re: passports and country of residence). Best decision ever.
Can relate. I disappeared when I was a teenager, as soon as I found somewhere safe to live.
The abuse had just gotten worse and worse over the years and disappearing was the sane choice.
The mother that put flowers in the sea, it sounds like he made some mafia people angry or something like that, poor family
Coworker who joined after my area became WFH. One day she just didn’t log in. Other than a few comments we didn’t make a fuss, as it’s not the first time someone mixed up their days and our boss hadn’t noticed. Next day we brought it up, thinking she had taken time off and it wasn’t on the calendar or maybe she went into labor a little early. No one could get through to her phone or emergency contacts. We brought it up to HR to keep trying/bring it up to the police. Still have no idea what happened. We knew she was worried about the vaccine mandate and getting the vaccine while pregnant, but being in her third trimester should have allowed her a delay. It’s possible she may have just quit without notifying anyone so she could get a couple extra weeks paycheck. We all hope she’s alright.
Oh my god YALL LISTEN 27:38 this happened to alot of people
I am talking about the wilderness program in Utah.
Many people have started speaking up about it under the tag #breakingcodesilence or something similar. Everyone of them was in a similar situation. Kidnapped by strangers, sent to the airport with them and landing in this program where they would suffer until they were sent back home. Holy shit I am so sorry for this kid. The stories from this camp are horrible.
A person I grew up with 4-5 years younger than me, the son of my parents plumber. He got into drugs and was homeless. I had moved away by that point. He called a family member saying he was going to off himself. He was missing 2 years before I heard.
Those wilderness camps also kill a lot of people
I once had a friend in primary school. I don’t remember much about her but the things I do remember was her name was savannah and she would say some weird things about her family life I can’t remember what exactly I just remember feeling uncomfortable but she was cool. Anyways one day she just stops showing up to school no one comes to collect her books or anything she just disappears and I never found out what happened to her.
Two of my friends have. I moved away and lost contact. All of our mutual friends have no idea where they are or what happened to them. We are all spread out but we were very close. Especially the one. She was my roommate for a long time. I worry about them.
My cousin.
So my cousin was adopted. By the time she was 3, it was clear she had some severe difficulties of the social type. She was a literal genius, IQ tested and everything, but she just had so many strange things she did - like she was reading Jane Austen at the age of 8, and when her teacher told her to read See Spot Run, she refused because she thought it was beneath her. Her parents ended up putting her in home school, and she even got kicked out of youth group at the church because she could infuriate the entire room full of kids. Unfortunately, her parents were two of the closest minded people I've ever met, who thought there was only one right way to be, that there was probably no such thing as mental illness and if there was it just needed to be slapped out of you. Plus her dad was a bit peculiar himself, and was actually happy that she didn't get along with most kids because "she's better than them and shouldn't be friends with them." Her mom was a little more grounded than her dad, and they'd sometimes go back and forth with "well she doesn't have to be friends with them but she needs to learn how to treat people politely" "no she doesn't she's too good for them we don't even want her associating with the likes of them." So she at no point ever got any sort of help for her problems.
When she went away to college she fell off the wagon, hard. She ended up marrying a man over twice her age against her family's wishes (he was a creep, but not really relevant to the story). Then she lost a ton of weight - she'd always been morbidly obese, but she got on the ketogenic diet and became thin and hot. So she started cheating on her husband. He died in his late 50s of a heart attack while she was in her late 20s/early 30s. She immediately rushed off to get with some big man on campus hunkasaurus she'd known from her college days who wouldn't have anything to do with her while she was fat but perfectly happy to rail her while she was skinny. The last time I talked to her, she told me some story about how she was telling him the way she'd mistreat her husband and how he'd throw her out a window for doing it, and he responded 'I would not, you wouldn't be worth the window or the glass' and she acted like it was the sexiest thing anyone had ever said to her. Or so she told us. She was a chronic liar.
Well, her mom may have been a terrible mother through ignorance but she did love her, and tried to get her to come home. So my cousin changed her name legally. And none of us have heard from her since. We all worry since the last thing we heard was that she was with a guy who liked to treat women badly and roughly, and despite being a genius had a total lack of common sense, including a lack of self preservation (she's the type that would yell at the crowd of black men on the corner to quit cussing).
Friend of mine from first grade until second year of college. She just randomly stopped talking to some people & it kind of hurts
Not sure this counts but one of my friends that I knew from highschool comes online randomly for a day and then disappears for months, maybe close to a year or so, no idea why he just does it. We have no way of contacting him as he never responds back to basically anything and constantly makes new emails for unclear reasons. He then comes back online as if nothing happens and says he will most definitely continously come online and talk to us as it is agreed by me, him and another friend before doing it all over again. I stopped considering him as a friend entirely and I just come into chat whenever he comes online but since then I stopped trying to contact him as I am all exhausted all resources on him. What's even more annoying is that he messages me then quickly deletes it and says "I shouldn't have said it if was cringe" which is bs to me and refuses to talk again.
My ex and I had a good friend. He used to show up to our house parties and we invited him to go to warped tour with us one year. We brought him along he seemed to be having a great time and was super happy. We brought him back he walked to his car and we haven't seen or heard from him since. We tried texting and calling him but never got a response it's been years since that happened. Drake if you ever see this comment by chance reach out my guy we've always wondered what happened to you and if your ok.
I unfortunately have two stories:
I was best friends with a girl in elementary school and the last time I ever saw her was when we rode our bikes home from school together. She literally never showed up to school again after that day and she never mentioned to me that she was moving or switching schools so it was completely unexpected. Each time I asked my teacher what happened she would just say she moved away in a condescending manner and quickly change the subject after. I also repeatedly called and knocked on her door for weeks but never got an answer and most of the other kids didn’t seem to care or even remember her for that matter, it was super weird and creepy. Someone once told me a very strange & disturbing story about once seeing her running outside completely naked in the middle of winter. I never did find out where she went or what really happened to her but I never forgot her and I hope she’s ok. Over the years I’ve tried looking her up on various social media platforms but no one that even resembled her showed up; it’s literally like she just disappeared in mid air.
A very close friend from high school didn’t have the best relationship with her family and she ended up running away from home and was missing for about 3 weeks. Unfortunately, her body was found in a lake 10 minutes away from her house and her death was ruled a suicide. My heart breaks for both of my friends and I still love and miss them so much. I hate how my HS friend ended her life and I wish I had closure on what happened to my ES friend. 💔
Shane R Deenis missing since 12/15/2013 from Parkersburg WV
My grandma disappeared in June of 1981. We have never found out what happened or have found a body.
Update
That story about the kid parents got a divorce remind me something straight out of erased which is an anime I watched
I've had days where I want to throw my phone away and go away to the mountains for a week
I think I heard something in my family about a great grandpa who just disappeared one day.
Have two odd stories my family history. A great uncle in the 1920-30s moved from Idaho to the Midwest and subsequently disappeared. The family was unable to contact him for several years. In the meantime, his mother (my great grandmother) moved to Los Angeles. One day she and her sister were shopping downtown and the sister pointed out a guy working the pharmacy counter that looked like her son. Turned out to be him. He had changed his name and ended up in LA. I found that he had been married during the time he was missing, but it seems like a rather drastic measure just to skip out on a marriage. After that he remained in contact with the family but kept the new name. He never told anyone why he had done it, not even his later wife (I asked her). Later he was questioned in the black dahlia murder - he worked not far from where she disappeared and the body was found a couple minutes from his home. But I dont think he had anything to do with it...he was kind of a joker.
Also my grandfather (brother of the guy above) had a step son that disappeared in the late 1940s. He was living in a home for troubled youths (granddad had already divorced his mother). His mom picked him up for the holidays and afterward she dropped her son off at the boys home. But when she tried to contact him a couple weeks later, the home didn't know where he was. Apparently the last time she saw him he was in a waiting room to be checked in. She hired an attorney to look into the disappearance of her son (have a letter sent to granddad about it), but he was never found. I think it was in WA or OR. Since he was a step son he wouldn't show up in a DNA search of relatives.
I know some people who’s dads had gone out to get milk and never came back
There was a girl that used to work in the front end of the store with us, and we were friends and she would give me rides home somtimes, then said she had enough of the front end and started working in a different department. Then she got really, REALLY paranoid, and then just up and quit and I never heard from her again. She blocked me on her phone and stuff, and that was it. I often wonder if she's okay, but I suppose I'll never know.
In college a friend of mine developed bipolar disorder and had to drop out. For a long time, we stayed in touch via social media and FaceTiming each other and I used to come up to her house on weekends. One day she sent me a message thanking me for being her friend and saying that the next day she was going for a job interview and to wish her luck. I literally never saw or heard from her again after that. She never responded to any of my messages or even read them and all of her social media was deleted shortly after. None of her other friends even knew where she was or what happened and I had no means of contacting any of her family members, it was literally like she just dropped off the face of the earth.
i had this friend on some game literally just disappeared it says last online 2 years ago no message either just one normal day gone
My ex gf, many years after we broke up. She has adult children now, none mine (as far as I know). They don't seem to be overly concerned about their mum.. Apparently, disappearing people is not nearly as uncommon as you'd think. Scary thought.
I'm late but here's one that I know of:
So during the 70s-80s the Marcos administration wasn't really looking good, with Marcos' political rivals start going missing etc.
By the 80s the country got strict censorship and reporters and journalists are either killed or never to found again.
My home economics teacher told us that one day his brother went out to do a report or something like that but he never went home that night. He said that his parents would've rather have their son dead than missing because at least if he was killed they'd have a body to bury. But until now, 30 years passed, they still don't know where his brother is or if he's still or dead somewhere.
I had an ex that disappeared. Somewhere around 2011. He’d gotten bad into drugs and dealing, and was frequently robbed. As far as I know, he’s still missing, no body has been recovered, and there’s no evidence he’s been arrested again since he disappeared
"Has anyone you've known simply disappeared?"
That one Redditor: "Yup, it's me"
I had a friend named Zach. He dropped out senior year of high school and was going through some mental issues and was on probation. The last time we talked he told me it wasn’t safe for me to be around him and he’d contact me when he was better. A year later I got what I assumed were spam calls and eventually I answered after recognizing they called me multiple times. The person wouldn’t tell me their name but I was sure it was him the second time he called. Later I got a voice message saying to never contact him again (after he contacted me). I worry he might be in jail, homeless, or dead. I haven’t seen him in almost 4 years. None of our mutual friends know what happened. I was the last one to hear from him. I really hope he’s doing better.
I want to know about the grandfather in vietnam that story is so intriguing any links or something.
What is wrong with that elementary school teacher? The least she could have told the class that their classmate was okay.
Probably an order from up high, plus maybe the grandparent and child requesting privacy.
But yeah I agree. Not answering basic things like that just makes it worse.
The 404 cases always give me chills
2:00 Sounds like he's in witness protection.
My best friend from age 13 to 16 ghosted me. We had plans to meet up and she just stopped answering to my messages. She has social media but doesn't use it so I couldn't see what she's up to through there. I was devastated and was blaming myself for years wondering what did I do wrong for her to just simply abandon me. Recently I saw on her mother's Facebook that she is engaged and travels alot with her fiancée. Good for her I guess but it left a scar.
I know two people who vanished (to me, at least) one was this kid I used to be friends with, I ended up bullying them later on bc shitty toxic friends and all that, yeah after awhile I stopped seeing them I think they just moved honestly, but I do wish I could find them again and apologize. The other one is a bit more tragic, I was in a long distance relationship with this guy (well technically I was dating his boyfriend who wasn't long distance) we knew him for about a year(?) He was gay, trans and didn't have the most supportive parents. The story ultimately culminates in him being homeless, living out of his car, he kept speaking with us for a while, but he just,,,,, stopped? It was a few years ago and I think he might be dead now, I didn't know him too well but I still think about him sometimes
Keith Madison Greensburg, Louisiana went missing in February. Walked away from home and gone
Family on my mother's side always tell me about Uncle Carl who simply went missing in the 1980s.
When I was in grade nine I became friends with this guy Mike. In grade ten he moved away to Toronto. From what I heard he was walking home from school shortly after he had moved there; never to be seen again.
15:42 Witness protection?
My dad disappeared. When i was 14 he got kicked out. The last message i got from him on my Instagram was Christmas 2017 and then nothing. What is strange about it is that he has always tried to look up someone he knew at least twice a year and basically cyber stalks them. He was doing that with me but all of fb accounts disappeared or are inactive and its like he dropped off the face of the planet. I've been claiming he's dead cause his absence is really uncharacteristic of him.
3:56 That's so sad. The first tragic story on here.
I have never known anybody well enough to keep track of them. I really have had no friends since fifth grade. This semi-anonymous RUclips rant is my only online existence. I have no true social media network accounts at all. I have no family in the continent I reside. I have no friends. There is no reason to keep track of anybody if I know nobody. I am the disappeared one.
Do you yearn for it?
My friend from hs disappeared for two years. He resurfaced a town over after my friend found out where he worked. Turns out he was living with his abusive ex who wouldnt let him use his phone while they were tigether, and when they broke up his ocd got so bad he stopped trying to contact people. Another year later and he's gonna move out and back to our city. Ditching his mooch of an ex Too. I stg i thought this guy died for awhile. He manages a walmart! He's coming to visit us this weekend and im gonna hug him like crazy
That POW/MIA story... oh, my heart.
When I was a teenager I had a lot of emotional and mental health issues and when I was 15 I used to go to this group therapy once a week for teenagers with emotional problems. I met this girl there that I ended up becoming very close friends with until one day she stopped responding to my messages and when I went to group therapy a few days later, she didn’t show up and the therapist didn’t know where she was either and couldn’t get a hold of her. I never saw her or heard from her again. I’ve tried looking her up on social media but couldn’t find anything.
Yes and I'm worried about her.
Had 2 uncles disappear from commercail fishing in Alaska in the 1950s. Found pay stubs from one for a couple years after he vanished but no sign of him. The other we tracked down after he drowned in a fishing boat accident in Oregon in the 1980s.
I had a cousin vanish one day back in the late '90s. No one could find him. Well one day I was up in Seattle WA., and I saw him walking down the sidewalk. I said, "Donnie?" he took one look at me and ran like the Devil himself was chasing him. After getting home I called his parents, and told them what happened. I guess they called the P.D. and let them know that he is in Seattle. I never heard anything after that. So Donnie if you read this I miss you man.
Typo: spelling
2 years later, any updates on Donnie?
A couple of the so-called "Smart" alumni from my college who I graduated with seemed to have fallen off of the face of the earth because no knows whatever happened to them.
A girl I had a brief fling with disappeared several months later. She showed up on Facebook about 30 years later as a friend of a friend.
My mom has an uncle that left his home and lives somewhere in Texas
Thanks for the stories
Thanks for listening
I can't keep friends for shit so I have disappeared from many peoples' lives. I am probably too insignificant in their lives anyway.
I have.Twice. To escape communism and to escape abuse and potential murder.
My dad
Sorry, dude :(
My Hk friend. It was during the second wave of covid. I live in USA so I can't look for her. There are three possible situations. 1) death by Covid 2) Lost interested in me 3) China got her. The last message from her was about avoiding China covid camps.
Hey I appreciate brother. Keep bringing awareness to what's really going on out here and keep leading ppl to the Lord. You can reach so many ppl and your words are wise. ❤️
A friend of mine who I had been friends with since middle school just left our high school without a word our junior year.
After reading all these comments i can assume that most of you need to dump that ego in the trash where it belongs and reach the f out to the missing person.
I had a good friend from 6th grade( 1996 )until we were around 21 then I lost contact with him. Nobody knew where he went or what happened. Found out around a year ago, thanks to the internet, that he died around the time we lost contact. I can't find any cause of death information.
I’m writing a Power Rangers fanfiction about this, it’s sort of about the fandom itself, but it’s also about the rangerverse as I like to call it.
The premise is this: Rachel Ager tried to disappear in the night with her sister from their mother and the deadly cult they grew up in, but when the escape goes awry, Rachel finds her self transported to the world of a television show she and her sister Loved to watch, will Rachel wake up in time to protect her sister like she promised, is she even alive in her real world anymore?
It’s supposed to be a series of books where Rachel would encounter multiple people drifting through the Rangerverse like she is.
So how is this relevant to what’s being talked about in this video, you ask? Well the main character is trying to disappear as if into thin air, I’d say that’s pretty relevant.
Hope your story finds success.
My father - haven't seen him in 35+ years.
The brother of a friend of mine went missing
We found out at the BBQ my friend was hosting
Most agreed he’d hopped on a train to London
We were recruited to search for him, we looked everywhere local
The police located him in guess where.. LONDON!!!
My friend was not happy we were right and he was wrong
Imagine leaving a turd bucket like Philadelphia for sunny California and when you get off the plane you see San Francisco. Good luck with that.
One of my cousins is missing no one knows where he is and the last time anyone remembers seeing him is 2012.
My uncle moved to Florida in the 90s (before I was even born) and literally nobody has heard from him since. If anyone down in Florida knows a Richard Abbot LMN
Yall if someone gives you a sotry then drops you suddnely and you only knew them online... they likely just dont want to speak to you anymore. I know it hurts, but ive seen it happen time and time again.
This is qhy online friendhsips are such a negative in my mind. You dont actually know that person, and rhy could easily just leave you at anytime
Just because you can’t see the crocodile, doesn’t mean it still isn’t there.
14:45 wtf is wrong with people these days
Physically or mentally? Because the person I knew slowly began fading the deeper she went into the JW religion they’ve been in. Already bad enough the twin is nuts. Now I do not even recognize them anymore and it feels like the bond had been severed. The person in question claims we still have one but all I sense is pure evil.
I mean, sure I’ll occasionally make small talk but something is making me feel like I have to run away.
Heed your intuition. Always.
Jehovah’s witnesses will never befriend outsiders for anything other than the purpose of converting them to the cult.
