Book excerpt: Cases of missing people that defy explanation! Some missing person cases are more bizarre and mysterious than others. This book reports such cases. We often tend to think that we can easily find the explanation to everything around us, yet there are so many situations where this is not possible. People themselves continue to disappear seemingly without a trace even with all of the technological and scientific advancement that humanity has had. People disappear every single day, but there are a few cases that simply defy explanation. There are those who have walked into forests and never come out. There are people who have disappeared from secure compounds with no explanation, and even individuals who seem to have vanished into thin air right in front of security cameras. As much as we would like to find some mundane explanation for these cases, a persistent percentage of disappearances remain completely mysterious in every sense of the word. Here in this book, we have brought together some of the most mind-boggling of these strange instances of abrupt vanishing on record, including: The Ill-Fated Alien Abductee Anjikuni, the Vanishing Village Abducted by Bigfoot The Fierce Legend of Ambrose Bierce What Happened to Gerry Irwin? The Mysterious Disappearance of a Manic Street Preacher The Troubling Case of Brandon Lawson And many more! Scroll back up and order your copy today!

Book excerpt: Missing person cases attached to national parks are difficult to research even with the online databases of today. The problem is many of these cases are classified as cold, meaning they are still open and unsolved. The incident reports are not public knowledge and unless you have a warrant you cannot access the details. Even family members have a hard time getting all the information in some of the cases. It leads to numerous questions for those who happen upon any one of the missing person's cases mentioned in the following chapters. What you will also discover within these pages is the high rate of missing person's cases within certain national parks. This is not where the talk of Bigfoot and other "supposed" creatures of the forest are going to be labeled as the "killers" as in other books. Rather, there are various reasons for people to come up missing, while their camping and other equipment is left behind, as well as their clothes.

Aila Quinn’s mother, Juliet, has always been a mystery: vibrant yet guarded, she keeps her secrets beyond Aila’s reach. When Juliet dies, Aila and her younger brother Miles are sent to live in Sterling, a rural town far from home—and the place where Juliet grew up. Sterling is a place with mysteries of its own. A place where the experiences that weave life together—scents of flowers and food, reflections from mirrors and lakes, even the ability to dream—vanish every seven years. No one knows what caused these “Disappearances,” or what will slip away next. But Sterling always suspected that Juliet Quinn was somehow responsible—and Aila must bear the brunt of their blame while she follows the chain of literary clues her mother left behind. As the next Disappearance nears, Aila begins to unravel the dual mystery of why the Disappearances happen and who her mother truly was. One thing is clear: Sterling isn’t going to hold on to anyone's secrets for long before it starts giving them up.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 2 of the Missing People series: Mysterious True Stories And Gripping Missing Persons Cases Of The Last Century: Where Do Missing People Go? Closure. People who mysteriously lost someone crave this. Whatever happened to their loved ones, whether they are still alive somewhere, or they died, the people they left behind want to know. For them, knowing the ending, no matter how horrible, is better than continuously thinking of the terrible things that they might be suffering. In the cases that we discuss, closure is elusive. It's a wonder whether the families will ever find the truth behind these disappearances cases. Unexplained disappearances are something not to be taken lightly. Just imagine, how could someone not be found when in almost all corners, authorities and concerned, vigilant people are on the lookout? If they were murdered, then why does the perpetrator have the ability to hide the body without a law enforcers' knowledge? If they willingly disappeared, how come no solid tip was observed? Perhaps their disappearances are ought to teach us a lesson, that anything can happen to anyone at anytime."

Download or read book The Disappearances written by Scott Thybony and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The gripping true story of three young people who went missing at the same time in the same tangle of canyons and slickrock expanses of the American Southwest. In 1935, during the wind-swept years of the Dust Bowl, three people went missing on separate occasions in the rugged canyon country of southeastern Utah, a place 'wild, desolate, mysterious.' A thirteen-year old girl, Lucy Garrett, was tricked into heading west with the man who had murdered her father under the pretense of reuniting with him. At the same time, a search was underway for Dan Thrapp, a young scientist on leave from the American Museum of Natural History. Others were scouring the same region for an artist, Everett Ruess, who had disappeared into 'the perfect labyrinth.' Intrigued by this unusual string of coincidental disappearances, Scott Thybony set out to learn what happened. His investigations took him from Island in the Sky to Skeleton Mesa, from Texas to Tucson, and from the Green River to the Red. He traced the journey of Lucy Garrett from the murder of her father to her dramatic courtroom testimony. Using the pages of an old journal he followed the route of Dan Thrapp as he crossed an expanse of wildly rugged country with a pair of outlaws. Thrapp's story of survival in an unforgiving land is a poignant counterpoint to the fate of the artist Everett Ruess, which the New York Times has called 'one of the most enduring mysteries of the modern West.' Thybony draws on extensive research and a lifetime of exploration to create a riveting story of these three lives"--Provided by publisher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER! "A stunning story... The ending is ingenious, and it's possible that Benedict has brought to life the most plausible explanation for why Christie disappeared for 11 days in 1926."—The Washington Post The New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Only Woman in the Room returns with a thrilling reconstruction of one of the most notorious events in literary history: Agatha Christie's mysterious 11-day disappearance in 1926. In December 1926, Agatha Christie goes missing. Investigators find her empty car on the edge of a deep, gloomy pond, the only clues some tire tracks nearby and a fur coat left in the car—strange for a frigid night. Her World War I veteran husband and her daughter have no knowledge of her whereabouts, and England unleashes an unprecedented manhunt to find the up-and-coming mystery author. Eleven days later, she reappears, just as mysteriously as she disappeared, claiming amnesia and providing no explanations for her time away. The puzzle of those missing eleven days has persisted. With her trademark historical fiction exploration into the shadows of the past, acclaimed author Marie Benedict brings us into the world of Agatha Christie, imagining why such a brilliant woman would find herself at the center of such murky historical mysteries. What is real, and what is mystery? What role did her unfaithful husband play, and what was he not telling investigators? Agatha Christie novels have withstood the test of time, due in no small part to Christie's masterful storytelling and clever mind that may never be matched, but Agatha Christie's untold history offers perhaps her greatest mystery of all. Fans of The Secrets We Kept, The Lions of Fifth Avenue, and The Alice Network will enjoy this riveting saga of literary history, suspense, and love gone wrong.

Download or read book True Crime Addict written by James Renner and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2016-05-24 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As seen on the Oxygen mini-series The Disappearance of Maura Murray When an eleven year old James Renner fell in love with Amy Mihaljevic, the missing girl seen on posters all over his neighborhood, it was the beginning of a lifelong obsession with true crime. That obsession leads James to a successful career as an investigative journalist. It also gave him PTSD. In 2011, James began researching the strange disappearance of Maura Murray, a UMass student who went missing after wrecking her car in rural New Hampshire in 2004. Over the course of his investigation, he uncovers numerous important and shocking new clues about what may have happened to Maura, but also finds himself in increasingly dangerous situations with little regard for his own well-being. As his quest to find Maura deepens, the case starts taking a toll on his personal life, which begins to spiral out of control. The result is an absorbing dual investigation of the complicated story of the All-American girl who went missing and James's own equally complicated true crime addiction. James Renner's True Crime Addict is the story of his spellbinding investigation of the missing person's case of Maura Murray, which has taken on a life of its own for armchair sleuths across the web. In the spirit of David Fincher's Zodiac, it is a fascinating look at a case that has eluded authorities and one man's obsessive quest for the answers.
