“I went to the same elementary school asMichael Dunahee.
He was kidnapped off the playground and still not found to this day.
I remember after it happened every parent showed up to walk the entire school of kids home.
They were terrified.”
gave me an intense paranoia about kidnapping when I was a kid.
It was by far my biggest fear."

“My brother’s middle school teacher.
He just didn’t show up to school one day, which was very unusual.
The school scrambled to find a substitute for him, because they had no notice.
He left the house that morning as usual, according to his wife.
He was never seen again.
Many search parties were organised, and people looked for months, but they never found him.
He is still officially missing today.”

“When I was a kid, a friend of mine was kidnapped by his dad.
The mum got custody and the dad just showed up one day and took him.
He was safe, but he was really quiet for a few years after he got back.
I have no idea what happened during that time.

“Guy I went to school with went missing in 2010 on his way home.
Police and search parties searched everywhere looking for him and his truck.
It was him and his truck.
At least the family got some closure after four long, excruciating years.”

“A girl from my graduating class in high school went missing ten years ago.
She had two kids and was just gone one day.
Shes still missing, so I really cant answer what happened.
Her family, law enforcement, and the greater community have looked for her tirelessly.
I hope we get answers one day.”

“A guy I grew up with went missing from a music festival he was working at.
Someone told police that he abruptly told them he was going home.
He didnt go home, he just disappeared.
He got to the festival on a bike but his bike was still there.
The case remains unsolved but it is considered a homicide.”
Did he abruptly decide to go home because something scary happened and he just didnt get that far?
Or was that person the one who put him in that burned out building?”

“My cousin went missing in the early 2000s.
He also had many front businesses like used car lots, small restaurants, and a real estate company.
There was a journalist in the area that got wind of his operation and started digging.
She wrote in the local paper that he was working with a Mexican cartel.

“My cousin never came home from school one afternoon.
She was only 12 at the time so it was unusual.
Her body was later found in the woods.
A family friend saw her walking home from school, told her he’d give her a ride home.
He instead took her to the woods to rape and murder her.
The sick bastard ‘helped’ looking for her as well.”
