List of people who disappeared mysteriously
This is a list of people who disappeared mysteriously, and of people whose current whereabouts are unknown or whose deaths are not substantiated, as well as a few cases of people whose disappearances were notable and remained unexplained for a long time, but were eventually explained, or the body found. Many people who disappear are eventually declared dead in absentia.
Before 1800
- 531 BC – Laozi, Chinese sage and founder of Taoism. He is said to have worked in the court of the Zhou dynasty until an old age, when, dismayed at the corruption and hypocrisy widespread in his surroundings, he gave up all he had and knew. He departed from China into the Western wildlands, mounted on a water buffalo, never to be seen or heard of again.[1] All he left behind was his famous book, the Tao Te Ching, the basic teaching of Taoism, which he wrote at the request of a Chinese border keeper right before disappearing into the mountains ahead.
- 71 BC – Spartacus, one of the leaders of escaped slaves during the Third Servile War, a slave rebellion against the Roman Republic. Although he was presumed killed in battle, his body was never found and his fate remains unknown.[2]
- 53 BC – Ambiorix was, together with Catuvolcus, prince of the Eburones, leader of a Belgic tribe of northeastern Gaul (Gallia Belgica), where modern Belgium is located. According to the writer Florus (iii.10.8), Ambiorix and his men managed to cross the Rhine and disappeared without a trace.

- 108–164 – Legio IX Hispana (Ninth Spanish Legion), Roman legion stationed in Roman Britain following the Roman conquest of Britain in AD 43. The legion disappears from surviving records without explanation in the second century. There are multiple conjectures regarding what happened to it and why no record of its fate has been found. Many references to the legion have been made in subsequent works of fiction.[5]
- 378 – Roman Emperor Valens was defeated by the Goths at the Battle of Adrianople (modern Edirne, Turkey). However, his body was never found.
- c. 834 – Muhammad ibn Qasim (al-Alawi), Alawite imam who led a rebellion against the Abbasid Caliphate. He was eventually defeated and detained. He was able to flee, but was never heard from again.

- 1071 – Hereward the Wake, formerly exiled Anglo-Danish minor noble rebel. He led a huge revolt in the marshy region of Ely in England against the rule of William the Conqueror. He was eventually betrayed by fearful local monks, who led the Norman troops through secret trackways. Many rebels were mutilated or executed, but Hereward escaped, never to be heard of again.
- 1203 – Arthur I, Duke of Brittany, heir to the throne of England. His claim to the throne was supported by French nobility, who did not want John, King of England (Arthur's paternal uncle) as their overlord. On 31 July 1202, while besieging his grandmother Eleanor of Aquitaine, Arthur was surprised and captured by John's barons and imprisoned at Falaise in Normandy. The following year, Arthur was transferred to Rouen and then vanished mysteriously in April 1203.
- c. 1291 – Vandino and Ugolino Vivaldi, Genoese sailors and explorers. They were lost while attempting the first oceanic journey from Europe to Asia.[7] Their two galleys sailed out of the Mediterranean Sea and into the Atlantic Ocean.
- 1412 – Owain Glyndŵr, last native Welsh person to hold the title Prince of Wales. He instigated the Welsh Revolt against the rule of Henry IV of England in 1400.

The remains of four children have been found which could be the princes, but they have not been subjected to DNA analysis to positively identify them.[10]
- 1487 – Lord Lovell, a rebel Yorkist knight, was last seen alive fleeing from the Battle of Stoke Field after defeat by the Lancastrians. In 1488 he was granted safe conduct in Scotland by King James IV but there is no evidence he was ever in the country.[11] (A skeleton found at one of his mansions at Minster Lovell, Oxfordshire in 1708 was believed without evidence to be of him.)
- 1499 – John Cabot, Italian explorer, disappeared along with his five ships during an expedition to find a western route from Europe to Asia.[12]

- 1526 – Francisco de Hoces, Spanish sailor. He was commander of the San Lesmes, one of the seven ships of the Loaísa expedition under García Jofre de Loaísa.

- 1546 – Francisco de Orellana, Spanish explorer and conquistador. He disappeared while exploring the Amazon River in November. His fate remains a mystery.
- 1578 – Sebastian of Portugal, Portuguese king. His body was never found after the Battle of Alcácer Quibir; many Portuguese came to believe that Sebastian had survived the battle and would return to claim his throne. Sebastianism, the belief that Sebastian could return at any moment to help Portugal in its darkest hour, is a recurring theme in Portuguese and Brazilian mythology and culture.
- c. 1590 – The Roanoke colonists disappeared, becoming known as the Lost Colony. On 18 August 1590, their settlement was found abandoned.[16] The settlement was located in Roanoke Island, currently part of Dare County, North Carolina.

In March, Every had led his ship, the Fancy, to the island of New Providence. He and his crew spent months living there and soon lost their ship. By June, Every and his crew were forced to flee the island. The crew then split up, with Every possibly setting sail toward Ireland. A manhunt for Every lasted for at least a decade. There were several unconfirmed sightings of him and contradictory reports of his death during the 18th century. Most of them are considered unreliable, however, and his actual fate is unknown.
- 1769/70 – Henry Vansittart (37), MP and director of the East India Company, Luke Scrafton and Francis Forde, who formed a delegation to investigate corruption and reform the British government in India, were last seen embarking at Cape Town en route to India on 27 December 1769. Their ship disappeared with all hands, apparently in a storm, the captain having decided to sail the Mozambique Channel despite adverse weather.[19]
- 1788 – Aimée du Buc de Rivéry, daughter of a wealthy plantation owner on the French island of Martinique. After being sent to a convent school in France, she was returning home in July or August 1788 when the ship she was on vanished at sea. It is thought that the ship was attacked and taken by Barbary pirates. It has been suggested that she was enslaved and eventually sent to Constantinople as a gift to the Ottoman sultan by the Ottoman governor of Algiers. It is unconfirmed if she was the same person as Naksh-i-Dil Haseki, consort of the sultan.
- 1788 – The French expedition of Jean-François de Galaup, Comte de Lapérouse disappeared after the last stop off Botany Bay (near what is now Sydney, Australia).

- 1792 – James Harrod (46), early explorer of the areas west of the Appalachian Mountains prior to their settlement by European-Americans, never returned from a trip to western Kentucky from Harrodsburg.

She never did, and the ensuing investigation attracted national media attention. The girl was never located, and the case remains the oldest unsolved missing-persons case of this nature in the files of the Chicago Missing Persons Bureau.[68] A California woman's belief that she was Mary Agnes has subsequently been disproven by DNA testing.[69]

Botanists who examined the weeds clinging to it estimated that the aircraft itself lies not far from the island at a depth of approximately 15 fathoms (90 ft; 27 m).[78] A filmmaker claimed to have located Lady Southern Cross on the seabed in February 2009.[79]

- 1941 – James Litterick (41), the first member of the Communist Party of Canada (CPC) elected to the Manitoba provincial parliament. By the time that the CPC was banned in 1940 and Litterick formally expelled from the legislature, he had already gone into hiding,[90][91] and become the subject of a Royal Canadian Mounted Police manhunt. Litterick surrendered to the RCMP during 1942 and was held at the Don Jail, in Toronto.[92] The following year, he was reported to be working at a garment factory in Toronto,[91] but nothing further appears to be known about him.

Ernest Cody and Ens. Charles Adams, radioed in that they were going to take a closer look at an oil slick. When the ship eventually crashed in Daly City, neither man was aboard. A massive search failed to find any trace of them; they were both declared dead a year later.[94]

- 1944 – Although the U.S. Navy claimed later the submarine USS Robalo was lost with all hands after failing to report while on a July patrol in the Philippines, Lt. Cmdr. Manning Kimmel and three other crewmen are known to have survived. A note recovered by an Army prisoner of war claimed the four had been arrested as spies after reaching Palawan Island following the Robalo's 26 July collision with a Japanese mine just offshore. Another witness account says they were massacred following an air raid later that year, but Japanese records do not indicate they were being held at the camp in question at that time. It is believed that they were killed in captivity at some point or another, but officially their fate is still unknown.[98]

For various reasons, largely legal delays, a planned trial was never held in either France or (after 1940) Germany, while Grynszpan was held in various prisons and concentration camps. Adolf Eichmann testified at his 1961 trial in Jerusalem that he had interrogated Grynszpan in Magdeburg in either late 1943 or early 1944; after that there is no record of his whereabouts or ultimate fate. The West German government had him declared legally dead in 1960.[101]

- 1945 – Heinrich Müller (45), Nazi Gestapo chief, last confirmed sighting in the Führerbunker on the evening of 1 May 1945 where he had stated his intention to avoid being taken into custody by the Soviet forces advancing on Berlin. His CIA file and related documents state that while the record is "...inconclusive on Müller's ultimate fate... [he] most likely died in Berlin in early May 1945."[106] Other theories have suggested that he either escaped to South America like many other fugitive Nazis and lived out his life there (the Israelis continued to investigate his whereabouts into the 1960s) or was protected by U.S. or Soviet intelligence under a new identity. He is the most senior Nazi official whose fate is unknown.
- 1945 – Raoul Wallenberg (32), Swedish diplomat credited with saving the lives of at least 20,000 Hungarian Jews during the Holocaust, was arrested on espionage charges in Budapest following the arrival of the Soviet army. His fate remains a mystery despite hundreds of purported sightings in Soviet prisons, some as recent as the 1980s. In 2001, after 10 years of research, a Swedish-Russian panel concluded that Wallenberg probably died or was executed in Soviet custody on 17 July 1947, but to date no hard evidence has been found to confirm this.[107] In 2010, evidence from Russian archives surfaced suggesting he was alive after the presumed execution date.[108]

After his defection, he became a military consultant and analyst for the Imperial Japanese Army. He disappeared during the Soviet invasion of Manchuria and was reported as being last seen in a crowded train station in Dairen (Dalian) in August 1945. Several theories exist about his fate, but he is presumed to have died in 1945, killed by either Soviet or Japanese forces.[112]

However, no remains were found in the ashes the morning after; some small fragments found on subsequent investigations turned out to have been planted. Later reported sightings of some of the children and suspicions that the fire had been arson rather than an accident led the family to believe that the children were still alive, to the point that they kept a billboard offering a reward for information on their fate up at the house site until the late 1980s.[114]

On 7–8 September, blood identified as that of Dr Godard's wife was found in their camper van and in the family home. Fragments of the bodies of the three were recovered from the sea bed over the next few years. Godard's wife is still considered missing; the apparent multiple murders are unsolved. The case was officially closed in 2012 with only accidental death eliminated as a possibility.

2000s
2000
- Zebb Quinn (18), disappeared on 2 January in Asheville, North Carolina, after receiving a page from his aunt's phone number. She denied paging him, but told police that her home was broken into during that time frame. Nothing was stolen from her home, but items were moved around. His car resurfaced two weeks after his disappearance when it was mysteriously parked in front of his mother's workplace with a live puppy inside and a large set of lips drawn on the window. In 2015 Asheville detectives unearthed fabric, leather materials and "unknown hard fragments" that were buried under a layer of concrete on the property of Robert Jason Owens. Owens was the last person known to have seen Quinn and had given several conflicting stories to detectives in his case. The search of his property that uncovered this new evidence was conducted after he was arrested for an unrelated triple murder. On July 10 of 2017, Owens was indicted with Zebbs murder.[420]
- Asha Degree (9), last seen in the early morning hours of 14 February running into a woodlot off North Carolina Highway 18 near her Shelby home; it was raining heavily and very windy at the time. Some of her personal effects were found three days later in a nearby shed; her backpack was found buried 20 miles (32 km) away in August 2001. There have been no other signs of her since then; theories have ranged from running away to foul play.[421]
- Leah Roberts (23), abruptly left her home in Durham, North Carolina, on 9 March. Her sister later found a note suggesting she was going on a cross-country road trip to northern Washington; a review of her banking and credit records confirmed this. Her car was found wrecked and abandoned nine days later off the Mount Baker Highway in Whatcom County; evidence found in it suggested she had arrived there several days earlier, and she had last been seen in a restaurant at a local shopping mall on 13 March. Other than one report that she was seen walking disoriented around a gas station in Everett shortly after her car was discovered, she has not been seen or heard from since.[422]
- Joseph Kibweteere (67 or 68), a leader of the Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God is believed to have died on 17 March,[423] but in 2014 it was announced by the Uganda National Police that there were reports that Kibweteere was hiding in Malawi.[424]

- Jerry Michael Williams (31), successful property appraiser from Tallahassee, Florida, was last seen leaving his house to go duck hunting at nearby Lake Seminole early in the morning of 16 December. It was assumed he had drowned accidentally after his car and abandoned boat were found at the lake later in the weekend; however, a lengthy search failed to find his body, the only time a drowning victim's body has never been found in the lake. Investigators initially concluded his remains had been eaten by alligators in the lake; Williams was declared legally dead six months later. In 2004, a reopening of the case prompted by pressure from Williams' mother discredited the alligator theory and found other suspicious aspects of the case suggesting the accident at the lake might have been staged and evidence planted; it was later investigated as a possible insurance fraud. Police have persons of interest but have not named them.[426]
2001
- Rilya Wilson (4), a foster child of the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) disappeared on 18 January in Miami, Florida. Because she was not discovered missing until 2002, she became the centerpoint of an investigation into neglect and mismanagement in the organization.[427]

- Sneha Anne Philip (31), Indian-American physician last seen on 10 September, on surveillance camera footage from a store near her Lower Manhattan apartment. Due to the proximity of the World Trade Center and her medical training, her family believes she perished trying to help victims of the next day's terrorist attack.

There were no signs of a struggle and $40,000 in cash was found in the car along with von Ackermann's laptop and satellite phone, suggesting he was not the victim of a robbery attempt; nor were his employer or family ever contacted with ransom demands. Nevertheless, the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command later concluded he had been killed in a botched kidnapping; they still consider the case open and his body has not been found.[442]
- Zsolt Erőss (45), a Hungarian high-altitude mountaineer who, after successfully climbing Kangchenjunga on 20 May went missing on his descent.[443] Searches were suspended two days later because, according to the expedition's leader and other experienced mountaineers, his survival would be impossible.

- Maura Murray (21), of Hanson, Massachusetts, nursing student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, was last seen 9 February at the scene of a minor one-vehicle accident in which her car was immobilized after having crashed into a roadside snowbank on New Hampshire Route 112. Earlier on the day of her disappearance, she had lied to professors about a death in her family, saying she would be absent from class for a week.[447][448] A schoolbus driver who happened upon Murray's crash site stopped to ask if she needed help; Murray declined.

No Mayday call was heard, and his distress radiobeacon was not activated. Despite one of the most ambitious search and rescue missions of all time, no trace of Gray or his yacht has ever been found.[476] In 2012 he was declared legally dead.[477]
- Andrew McAuley (38), an Australian adventurer best known for mountaineering and sea kayaking in remote parts of the world, is presumed to have died following his disappearance at sea while attempting to kayak 1,600 kilometres (990 mi) across the Tasman Sea in February 2007.

It was later revealed that he was working for the CIA at that time as well. In 2010 a video of him, somewhat emaciated, was released in which he begs for help from the U.S. government to be released. The U.S. government has regularly raised the issue of his release with Iran as part of talks between the countries, but Iran's statements as to whether he still is in their custody or even alive have been contradictory and it has been speculated that Levinson is no longer under their control if he is still alive.[481]
- Lisa Stebic (37), last seen by her husband at their Plainfield, Illinois, home on 30 April, while she was awaiting a ride to the local track where she worked out; he was working in the back.

2010
- Russell Bohling (18), disappeared from the Bempton area of the East Riding of Yorkshire, England on 2 March 2010. His car was found in the car park for Bempton Cliffs RSPB site which has seen some suicides. The police assume suicide or tragic accident, though no body has been found. His family maintain that a third party was involved as he did not have enough fuel to drive to Bempton from his family home in West Ella, a USB stick detailing the pornographic artwork and graffiti left on the walls of the former bunker of RAF Bempton was missing and the trainers he supposedly wore that day were found in the family's holiday home even further up the coast after he had disappeared.[504]
- Paolo Renda (76), member of the Rizzuto crime family in Montreal, told his family he would be picking up steaks for dinner on his way back from a 20 May funeral; he never arrived.

Extensive searches found only two decompression tanks that were placed incorrectly and filled with the wrong gases; no evidence of a body has been found in the spring. While it is still possible his body is in an unexplored area of the cave, other theories include foul play, possibly related to the suspicious 2011 death of Vortex Spring's owner, and a possible staged disappearance in the wake of McDaniel's recent marital and financial failures.[507][508]

- Bethany Decker (21), student at George Mason University in Virginia, was last heard from on 29 January, when she called the restaurant she worked at to confirm her schedule for the next week. Her husband and a boyfriend both claim to have seen her that day as well. Three weeks later, after Facebook messages from her to friends that seemed to them to have been written by someone else, she was reported missing. Investigators found no evidence of activity on her part other than the suspicious Facebook messages since the day she was last seen.

When she returned he was gone. Police found that the car had plenty of fuel left and worked as it should; they publicly expressed doubts about her story as she and the boy's father were getting divorced and she had just withdrawn from a mediated custody agreement that gave him visitation. The case was also noted to be similar to a recently aired episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit;[517] investigators have even questioned whether Sky was in the car that morning at all. While police have indicated they could charge the mother with child endangerment, they have declined to do so due to those doubts.[518]
