In 2009, the Jamison family vanished while looking at land in the Oklahoma mountains. Their truck was found abandoned with their dog and belongings still inside. The family had reportedly been acting strangely and increasingly paranoid before they disappeared. Four years later, their remains were found in the woods. What happened to them is still unknown.

In 1922, six members of a family were found unalived on their isolated farm in Germany. What makes the case so unsettling is what reportedly happened beforehand: strange footsteps were heard in the attic, an unfamiliar newspaper appeared on the property, and footprints in the snow seemed to lead toward the farm with no clear trail back out. Afterward, the animals had been cared for and food appeared to have been eaten. Whoever was responsible was never identified, and the mystery remains unsolved more than 100 years later.

In July 1981, 14-year-old Stacy Ann Arras disappeared while on a backcountry trip in Yosemite National Park. Stacy had been staying with a group at Sunrise High Sierra Camp when she decided to walk toward a nearby lake to take photographs. Another member of the group initially went with her but stopped to rest while Stacy continued ahead. She was seen walking toward the lake and then disappeared from view. A search began almost immediately and eventually involved hundreds of people, helicopters, and search dogs. Despite the extensive effort, Stacy was never found. A piece of her camera was reportedly recovered, but there was no confirmed trail leading to her and no explanation for what happened. Over the years, Stacy's disappearance became associated with Missing 411 and theories about unexplained disappearances in national parks. There is no evidence proving a paranormal explanation, but the circumstances have kept her case alive for more than four decades.

On April 7, 2007, 25-year-old Khoi disappeared from his family’s home in Vancouver, Washington. He was deaf from birth, could not speak, and communicated primarily through limited ASL, writing, and hand signals. His family discovered him missing around 8 a.m. His bicycle—the way he normally got around—was still at home. So was his favorite jacket. Khoi had never left the house alone at night and typically returned within an hour or two. That night, there was also a heavy rainstorm. Searches, K-9 teams, the FBI, and local investigators followed numerous leads. His case was eventually classified as a criminal investigation, and a person of interest was identified, but no one was charged. To this day, no trace of him has been found.

Elijah Snow, 35, an Arlington, Texas firefighter, flew to Cancún in July 2021 with his wife Jamie to celebrate their 10th anniversary at the all-inclusive Royalton Chic resort. After a day of drinking, Jamie went back to their room to sleep while Elijah stayed at the bar for “one more drink.” She woke in the early morning to find him gone. Hours later, he was discovered about 10 miles away at a completely different hotel — the Sunset Royal Beach Resort. He was found wedged in a low bathroom window: upper body outside the wall, legs inside, unable to reach the floor. Mexican authorities ruled it accidental “mechanical asphyxia,” saying he likely became trapped while trying to climb through the window, possibly intoxicated and disoriented. But no one could explain how he got to another resort or why he’d try entering through a bathroom window at all.

POV: Your neighbor is a quiet, respectable bachelor who feeds travelers and is known as a kind, helpful man.
Then, in 1924, police enter his home. What they discover is horrifying: hum4n remains, belongings from missing people, and evidence pointing to a years-long pattern of unalivings. Karl Denke had been targeting vulnerable travelers, and investigators believed he may have unalived dozens of people. Even more disturbing, reports from the investigation alleged that he preserved and consumed parts of his victims. For years, the man living quietly among his neighbors had been hiding one of Germany's darkest secrets.

On April 15, 2005, Ray Gricar, the longtime District Attorney of Centre County, Pennsylvania, left work early and went for a drive. Around 11:30 that morning, Gricar called his girlfriend, Patty Fornicola, and told her he was driving through the Brush Valley area toward Lewisburg. He never came home. That evening, Fornicola reported him missing. The following day, investigators found Gricar’s red-and-white 2004 Mini Cooper parked near an antique store in Lewisburg, close to the Susquehanna River. His cell phone was still inside the locked vehicle, but Gricar himself was nowhere to be found. There was no obvious sign of a struggle, and investigators could not determine where he had gone from there. Then, months later, an even stranger clue surfaced. In July, fishermen discovered Gricar’s county-issued laptop in the Susquehanna River. The computer was damaged, and its hard drive was missing. A hard drive later found along the river could not be successfully analyzed, leaving investigators without the information it might have contained. Another puzzling detail emerged years later: investigators learned that searches had been made on a computer at Gricar’s home concerning ways to damage or destroy a hard drive. It was never established who conducted those searches or what, if anything, they had to do with Gricar’s disappearance. Over the years, investigators considered numerous possibilities, including that Gricar left voluntarily, died by choice, or was the victim of a crime. None has ever been proven. There were reported sightings of Gricar in several places after he vanished, but none were confirmed. His disappearance remains unsolved.

In April 1981, a quiet California resort town became the center of a mystery that remains unsolved more than 40 years later. Several members of the Sharp family and a family friend were found unalived inside Cabin 28 in Keddie, California. Three other children were also in the cabin that night—and survived. They were reportedly sleeping in a nearby room. One of the victims, 12-year-old Tina Sharp, was missing from the cabin. Her remains were discovered nearly three years later, about 30 miles away. Investigators developed suspects and uncovered additional evidence over the years, but no one has ever been convicted. Who entered Cabin 28 that night? Why was Tina taken? And how did the suspect(s) leave without being caught? More than four decades later, those questions remain unanswered.

Cynthia “Cindy” Anderson was 20 when she disappeared from the Toledo law office where she worked on August 4, 1981. Her bosses returned at noon to find the doors locked, the radio on, their desks prepared, and no sign of Cindy. Her purse and keys were gone, but her car was still locked outside. In the weeks before she vanished, Cindy had reportedly been receiving disturbing phone calls at work. Her employers took the concern seriously enough that she kept the office locked and had an emergency buzzer at her desk that could alert the business next door. There were no signs of forced entry, a struggle, or any indication that she used the buzzer. The most eerie detail is the book left on her desk: a romance novel opened to what authorities described as its only violent scene—where the heroine is abducted. Her family also reported that Cindy had recurring nightmares about a man attacking or abducting her. The dreams are not proof of anything supernatural, but in the context of her disappearance, they became a lasting part of the case.
