Where do all the missing people go?
I seem to have read no end of stories of families having another shyte Christmas because one of their loved ones is missing. Where do they all go? I realise that something terrible has probably happened to them but why is no trace ever found of so many of them?
Corrie McKeague, the airman who has been missing since September just seems to have vanished, no personal items, clothing or remains have been found yet. Rather than his being a sinister case, Is it he possible he may have decided to just drop out of life and start again somewhere else? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-38267086 This story is really sad about the 'Milk Carton' kids, they've been on the missing list for 20 years. It does read like the Police investigation into their disappearance wasn't handled particularly well as they were 'naughty boys' but even so, they were still kids. No remains have ever been found. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-37999316 `Nicola Payne has now been missing for 25 years and again no trace of her has ever been found. She had just had a baby which she left at her boyfriends house, said she was popping home to get something and just never came back http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england...shire-37907058 It's all very sad. |

Maybe they're altogether in a nice place having a party and want to be left alone.

Think how small the average person is in context of a big city, They could go anywhere and not be spotted
On a more sinister level think how small the average person is hidden in a forest, Or buried there and how long they could take to be found. Bodies have never been found even when the general area is known Then we have rivers, They can take a body very far before is it even realised someone went in there |

Some of them start over with false names etc. Its alot easier to disappear from the radar than people think.

The trees are thick enough to shield it from the farmer and passing motorists won't be able to see it either. Assuming any of them are even capable of looking beyond the end of their bonnet. It's a big, big world and people are small. |

They didn't change their clocks and got lost in the missing hour.

I was watching a documentary on Jennifer Kesse a couple of days ago. The person who abandoned her car, and presumably killed her or knows what happened to her, walks right in front of a CCTV camera but behind a fence and by chance on all the frames the face is obscured by a railing.
Sometimes murderers get incredibly lucky. Occasionally suicides can dispose of their own body but that's difficult and rare. |

Had a bit of music marathon on Youtube the other night and one of the songs I played was Runaway Train by Soul Asylum. The video shows missing children throughout it's duration.
This thread got me thinking about what happened to them all and Wikipedia has some answers - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runawa...Resolved_cases |

From Wiki: Claudia Elizabeth Lawrence (27 February 1974 – disappeared 18 March 2009) was an English chef at the University of York who disappeared on 18 March 2009. Although the police have treated her disappearance as a case of murder, with various people arrested (but later released), her fate is unclear. |

This thread got me thinking about what happened to them all and Wikipedia has some answers - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runawa...Resolved_cases From your Wiki link: Also featured in the UK version was Mark Bartley, a runaway who went missing in 1992. He was recognised in the video by a man who knew Bartley was staying in the tenant's house below them, but was unaware of his missing status. By the time the police arrived, Bartley and the man he was living with were gone. It is unknown what happened to him after this. This bit is a just a tad scary, especially when you think how many families have their kids go off back packing every year. The version shown in Australia showed a number of young backpacking tourists whose families were looking for them. Several of them turned out to be victims of Ivan Milat, the Backpacker Murderer. |

Bottom of a river or canal would be my guess.

It's a shame about the two missing boys. More should have been done at the time. One of them was only 11 for God's sake.

Whenever I hear Manics come on the radio I always wonder whatever happened to Richey. It's now near 22 years since he disappeared, officially presumed dead but nothing has ever been found. He had his passport and a lot of cash on him, but also ended up near a bridge he might have jumped off of. Will we ever find out what happened to him?

"Last year more than 300,000 calls were made to police in England, Scotland and Wales reporting someone missing.
Almost two thirds of people go missing intentionally, but that doesn't mean they want to" http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/articl...-uk-every-year I often wonder how many are found who refuse to go back or choose not to have their location disclosed. After all, if you're an adult I believe you can choose not to be found, so to speak (not communicate with those searching for you or not go back, if you're found by a charity or the authorities). |

Or indeed by the side of quite a few major rural roads. I doubt anyone would find a body dumped somewhere like here for instance.

Maybe subconsciously some missing children cases are given more importance than others? |

Some just leave for a new life and change their name. Some just don't want to be found. Sadly some do away with themselves or worse. Here in Norfolk they have been trying to identify remains that were found 42 years ago. They have never been able to identify the "woman" they found and to this day have no idea who killed her.

There was a programme on last year or before about missing people, the oddest one was of a young man gone out for the night and was on his way home and rang his mother to say he was on his way back, it was Manchester I think. There were cc tv of him and sightings but while he was speaking to his mother he suddenly started screaming and that was it, never got home, never found no clues. The really unsettling part was the screaming, it was a scream from someone who was absolutely terrified.

Bodies have never been found even when the general area is known Then we have rivers, They can take a body very far before is it even realised someone went in there https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...-solve-mystery There seems absolutely nothing to indicate what happened to Nicola Payne, who had just had a child and could have succumbed to post-natal depression and decided to end it all in a place where it would be difficult to find her. Yet the police are so certain they're dealing with abduction and murder that they obviously have evidence not mentioned in the article. I hope her family find out what really happened to her one day. It's not totally impossible, given the advances that are made in detection methods and forensics every year. The Corrie McKeague case is a baffling one. Given that it's not possible to leave the area where he was last seen on foot without being caught on CCTV, and that a signal was picked up from his phone miles away and hours after the event, he must have left in someone else's vehicle. I'm not sure why it's not possible to identify and eliminate cars that leave the area, described as 'a horseshoe' and 'closed off by buildings' if you can identify and eliminate human beings much smaller than cars doing the same thing. It must be a quirk of the location. I don't think he left voluntarily, especially since he would have known just how much more fuss would've been made about the disappearance of an RAF servicemen in the current climate. I hope his family get answers soon too. The disappearance of the 'Milk Carton Kids' is upsetting on more than one level. Kids of 11 and 13 don't typically do what it takes to earn labels like 'wild and streetwise troublemaker' unless they've been badly let down by some kind of authority at least once already. The idea of authority going on to use such labels as an excuse to let them down badly again at a time when they most need help is heartbreaking. |
