People have disappeared without a trace for centuries, right? Sometimes we get hints of what happens, and often we find the missing person – but occasionally they’re just –poof. Gone. Keyzer Soze style. We become fixated on these cases, because one of the human mind’s integral characteristics is what psychologists call closer. Here are 4 of the strangest.
Jimmy Hoffa was the leader of the teamsters – and man, was he crooked. He spent years in prison for jury-tampering, mail fraud, bribery.
Pardoned by Nixon in 1971
Four years later in 1975 he disappeared outside a Michigan restaurant.
Despite decades of investigation, millions in stolen pension money, and rumors of mafia involvement, the FBI still has found Hoffa.
Was he buried in Detroit? Fed to alligators in Florida? Shipped to Japan? We just don’t know.
In 1962, Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers — John and Clarence — used spoons to dig holes in the walls of their prison cells
Left papier-mache heads propped on pillows
Climbed up a utility vent, then down a drainpipe
Hit the water a paddled away one a boat and life vests made from glued-together raincoasts.
Some of their gear was found a little ways up the coast
A badly-=decayed, unidentifiable body was also found
More than 50 years later, the US Marshall Service still has these men on the list of wanted fugitives
Helen Vorhees Brach, no relation to Jason.
Widow of candy company executive Frank Brach disappeared after supposedly being dropped off at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport in February 1977.
The employee who'd dropped her off was Jack Matlick
He took two weeks to report the disappearance and later was found to have cashed $13,000 in checks with Brach's signature forged on them.
Or that Matlick and Helen’s brother Charles burned her diaries after her death. Just sayin’.
Brisker was an all-star forward for the Pittsburgh Condors of the now-defunct American Basketball Association averaging 26 points a game.
He was also a wild card with a short fuse. Once 4 police officers had to subdue him during an off-court fight.
After finishing his career in 1975 and unsuccessfully trying his hand at restaurants, Brisker and a friend headed to Africa to create an import-export business.
About six weeks later, he made a phone call from Kampala, Uganda, telling his partner Melvis Diane Williamson that he was planning to send for her and their daughter soon.
No one heard from him again.
Over the years rumors spread – was Brisker really building an import business? Was he a mercenary fighting for Idi Amin, the Ugandan dictator with an even worse mean streak than Brisker?
Other stories have him drifting to Guyana and dying in the Jonestown massacre in November 1978. Or maybe he took on a new identity and is alive somewhere today.
These are just a few examples. It’s possible that new evidence may emerge, shedding light on these mysteries – but for now, they’ve vanished. Who else should be on this list? Let us know, and if you’d like to learn more, check out our article “10 Things That Disappeared Without A Trace.”
