I’ve always thought the Gaines story was sad. It was Thurgood Marshall’s first major case.

Why is it that when someone disappears in the wilderness/mountains/ocean they expect to find a body?

…and if a body isn’t found, there has to be some weird explanation to their disappearance – (kidnapped/being held prisoner/alien abduction)?

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 â€” 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 Mexicoâ€”ah, that is euthanasia!” – Ambrose Bierce, in one of his last letters
