In this book, we will be examining the various circumstances in which people happen to vanish. These circumstances can vary from elegant plans of their own design to freak accidents that result in memory loss. In some cases, we will find that there is a malicious party at play and a far greater crime to be solved. But in every single case, we will learn of someone who vanishes before being found again.So, read on to discover the strange and mysterious events which can drive people away, as well as the emotions and motivations that lead them to come home. With so many people disappearing across the planet, the stories of those who are able to come home are inspirational, fascinating, and – in some cases – almost unbelievable. In this book, we will learn the true stories of the lost and found, the real life events which see people arrive back home after most people might have given up hope. Read on and discover just what it takes to come back. Here are some of the cases that you will find inside: • The young boy abducted by a crazed man • The boy whose kidnap inspired a search and rescue team • The controversial lawyer who vanished for eight years • The rapper who dropped off the radar • The actress who vanished without warning • The man kidnapped by North Korea • The man struck down by a little known medical issue • And many more!
