Missing People: True Stories of Unexplained Disappearances (True Stories of People Gone Missing and Never Found)

The majority of missing people are white, male adults, missing children are rightfully more covered by the media as studies show that the first three hours after a child is missing is when they are most likely to be murdered if killing the child is the intent of the abductor.

With increased technology, improvements in dna evidence gathering and better law enforcement communication and cooperation, solving missing persons cases should have gotten easier and been more successful over time. However, solving these cases is still difficult and many are never found.

Some of the stories within are:

• The missing colonists of roanoke island
• The heiress who went shopping and never returned
• The english lord who disappeared after a night of bloodshed
• The tragic mystery of three missing australian children
• The man who vanished from a cruise ship
• And many more.

This is an interesting area of the case. Some investigations are done with great resources and expertise. Occasionally investigations are botched, such as one featured case where the primary suspect's social prominence and wealth caused sweeping allegations of corruption. Some investigations are hampered by cruel coincidence, as occurs in one featured case when torrential downpours swept across the plains, causing the destruction of crucial evidence.
