Ran across a fascinating article on latimesblogs.latimes.com about one Dr. George Ripley Fuller, a physiologist at UCLA who disappeared May 31, 1956.

Though there is some evidence, so it’s not entirely unsolved, I always thought the disappearance of Antoine de St. Exupery was sad.

Don’t forget about Ian Mackintosh, the guy who wrote the British TV series “The Sandbaggers.” The show ran for a few seasons in the late 70s, then Mackintosh disappeared while flying or something like that. The show was shelved after that, because they thought no other writer could do it justice.

I second the suggestion of Ambrose Bierce. I enjoy the writings of “Bitter Bierce” and the story of his disappearance in Mexico is an interesting one indeed…

“Good-bye — if you hear of my being stood up against a Mexican stone wall and shot to rags please know that I think that a pretty good way to depart this life. It beats old age, disease, or falling down the cellar stairs. To be a Gringo in Mexico—ah, that is euthanasia!” – Ambrose Bierce, in one of his last letters

And what about Ambrose Bierce? The civil war veteran and author that disappeared sometime around 1914…

If they ever make a movie about Ettore Majorana, I think Javier Bardem should play the lead.

I recently watched “Apocalypse Now” for what seems like the 437th time (give or take) and decided to do a little online research into the film afterwards. Turns out Dennis Hopper’s character was based on Sean Flynn.

This random bit of trivia was brought to you by the color blue and the number 4.

I’ve heard of several of these and thought that there was some evidence (or something) within the past 10 years that Bessie Hyde did kill her husband.

Judge Crater is infamous in this area. Was probably bumped off.

And sadly, I’d bet my eye teeth that Mr. Gaines was killed by some **** (Fill in your own curse word) who didn’t like the idea of a black man going to law school.

Really looking forward to your follow up.
