Hundreds of thousands of regular people disappear every year around the world, many of them never to be found. Despite their fame and the public’s general attention, celebrities also periodically pop up on the missing people lists and do not always come back.
Here are some of the unsolved cases of famous people who vanished without a trace.
1. Richey Edwards
One of the most interesting personalities of the Britpop era, Richey Edwards, guitarist for the Manic Street Preachers, was reported missing on February 1, 1995, when the band was going on tour. Police later found Edwards’ car near the Severn Bridge. Presumably, the man committed suicide, but the body was never found. The musician was officially declared dead in 2008.
2. Jim Sullivan
Musician Jim Sullivan went missing in 1975. The man checked into a hotel, left his things there, got into a car, and drove away. No explanations, no nothing. No one saw Sullivan after that. Later, his car was found in the desert in New Mexico, but the musician himself was never found.
3. Joe Pichler
Joe Pichler is best known for his role as Brennan Newton in Beethoven 4 and 5. All was going well until 2006, when the young actor went missing. Joe’s friends last saw him on January 5, and four days later, his car was discovered abandoned near Seattle. The police never found the body. However, there was a note with a request to give all his belongings to Pichler’s younger brother, which made the detectives think that the guy had committed suicide.
