21 of the Most Puzzling Missing Person Cases in History

Sort of by definition, all missing persons cases are mysterious. The whole point is that we don’t know something — i.e. where they are. Oftentimes, though, we may not know, but we know. Like, they have clearly been murdered by their spouse or fell into the ocean or got chosen for a secret comics-based government mission to save the world. All the evidence points that way, but there’s just not quite enough of it to give the case the official “CLOSED” stamp.

Some cases, though, are just weird. Five coworkers watch them enter the breakroom, say, through the one door that goes in and out of the room that nobody saw them come out of it, and they seem to have just vanished, leaving behind nothing more than a perfectly cooked steak with no grill in sight and a bag of dice even though they hated tabletop games.
