However, no remains were found in the ashes the morning after the fire and some small bone fragments found during 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.

|[[Royal Marine]] Alan Addis went missing on [[East Falkland]] 5 August 1980. His small unit was on a patrol to [[North Arm]] in [[Lafonia]] on East Falkland in August 1980 when Addis went missing. The marines had attended a local function in the social hall of the remote and small community with Addis last being seen at 1:30&nbsp;am. He was not noticed as being absent until the other members of his team had set sail on a steamer to take them back to their base at [[Port Stanley]]. The official report assumes he drowned, however, investigations and rumours have led to a belief that he was murdered. No body or trace has been found.<ref>{{cite news|last1=MacKinnon|first1=Ian|title=Final act in a Falklands drama|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/final-act-in-a-falklands-drama-1598465.html|accessdate=30 November 2016|work=The Independent|date=28 August 1995}}</ref>

|Jared Negrete disappeared from a [[Scout (Scouting)|Boy Scout]] expedition to the summit of [[Mount San Gorgonio|San Gorgonio Mountain]] on 19 July 1991 after becoming lost from his group. A search party was immediately launched and rescue teams followed his footprints finding candy wrappers and his disposable camera. Most pictures on the filmstrip depicted the surrounding landscape, however, only his eyes and nose are visible in the photograph. To this day he is still missing and no trace of him has been found.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.gistmania.com/talk/?action=gallery;sa=view;id=55333|title=3.

|Kristin Smart, a student at [[California Polytechnic State University]] (Cal Poly) in [[San Luis Obispo, California]], disappeared after leaving a late-night party 25 May 1996 during the [[Memorial Day]] weekend. Campus police were unsure if Smart had left on vacation and initially did not treat her disappearance as a potential crime. The delay resulted in the passing of the Kristin Smart Campus Security Act two years later.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://articles.latimes.com/1998/aug/12/local/me-12421|accessdate=10 July 2017|title=Law Aims to Bolster Campus Crime Investigations|date=12 August 1998|publisher=Los Angeles Times – latimes.com}}</ref>

|Swiss traveler who during the 1970s and 80s lived with the [[Penan people]] of Borneo. He became an internationally prominent activist in the fight for the Penan land rights and opposition to logging and rain forest destruction. He was in the country illegally, and was continually hunted by authorities and escaped numerous times under gunfire. He eventually escaped the island country in disguise and went on a world tour to raise awareness about the Penan including founding a non-profit organization. In 2000, against all advice, he snuck back into Borneo. Manser was last seen carrying a 30-kilogram [[backpack]] by his Penan friend, Paleu, and Paleu's son on 25 May 2000. They accompanied Manser until they saw [[Bukit Batu Lawi]] (2000-metre limestone pinnacle in Sarawak). Manser stated his intention to climb the mountain alone and requested Paleu to leave him there. The Penan mounted search and rescue missions after he failed to return.

|Sky Metalwala left in a parked car on a [[Bellevue, Washington]] street by his mother on the morning of 6 November 2011 after it supposedly ran out of gas. She was on the way to the hospital where she claimed to have been taking him after he woke up sick and when she returned he was gone.
