- Throughout history there have been people,
or even groups of people
who have mysteriously disappeared without a trace.
With no explanation from anyone who knows them
these people vanished,
but while people go missing all of the time,
these particular cases are especially mysterious
due to their circumstances,
and the fact that many of these are cold cases,
which remained open to this day.
(haunting mysterious music)
Here are 10 mysterious disappearances
that were never explained, part two.
Number 10 is Ray Gricar.
On April 15th, 2005, 59 year old Center County, Pennsylvania
District Attorney, Ray Gricar,
disappeared under truly mysterious circumstances.
His red mini Cooper was found 80 kilometers away,
parked near a bridge with his wallet,
and cell phone still inside of it.
His laptop, and hard drive were later found,
destroyed in the Schuylkill River
that ran under the same bridge.
There were no signs of foul play,
but given his career of putting away criminals,
one theory is that he was killed as revenge,
or as part of a coverup.
Authorities went above,
and beyond to figure out what happened to the prosecutor,
including consulting a psychic,
digging up a grave, using NASA technology,
and running down the over 300 reported sightings of Gricar,
none of which turned up anything substantial.
To this day, the case is still cold.
Number nine is Angikuni lake.
In November of 1930 on a cold full moon night,
fur trapper, Joel LaBell returned
to the Angikuni fishing village on Angikuni Lake
in Nunivit, Canada, looking to trade goods with the locals.
However, upon his arrival,
he immediately found himself standing in a ghost town.
Every one of the villagers seem to have disappeared,
as if the town had been completely evacuated.
Though they've left behind most of their belongings,
including their priced rifles and kayaks.
Some of the homes contained half cooked food,
and several dead dogs.
Adding to the mystery,
all of the graves in the village's cemetery
had been dug up and left empty.
There were no signs of where the town's folk,
or those that were dug up had gone.
But nearby trappers reported seeing a mysterious blue light
over the village that vanished into the darkness.
Number eight is the Yuba County Five.
On February 24th, 1978, five friends, Jack Madruga,
Gary Matthias, Jackie Hewitt, Ted Wheire,
and William Sterling got in a car, and drove from Yuba City,
California, headed for the city of Chico.
The group of friends who ranged in age from 24 to 32
had met while in a day treatment program
for mentally handicapped adults,
and were traveling to attend a basketball game.
However, sadly the group never made it home.
Jack's abandoned car was found off a mountain road
in Plumas national forest,
though why it was so far off the route home is unknown.
The remains of Jack, Jackie, William, and Ted
were found in the forest under mysterious circumstances.
However, Gary was never found.
It's still a mystery to this day
who, or what led the men into the mountains,
and what exactly happened to the fifth friend?
Number seven is the Ninth regimen.
During the second century,
the Roman Ninth Legion led battles across Europe,
and Africa before invading Britain.
Around 109 AD, the Ninth made their way to Caledonia,
in modern day Scotland to battle for control of the land
against a large group that was rebelling against them.
Despite being well trained and heavily armored,
over 5,000 men March north towards the rebellion,
and never returned.
In fact, not only were they never heard from again,
they were never found again.
There isn't even a shred of evidence
that shows that there was a battle fought
in that particular area around that time.
The warrior seemingly vanished from history in an instant.
Some historians think that they disbanded or relocated,
but no records have ever been found to conclusively say
what happened to the Nineth.
Number six are the Beaumont siblings.
On the morning of January 26, 1966,
the three Beaumont siblings,
nine year old Jane, seven year old Arna,
and four year old Grant, took the short trip
to Glenelg beach near Adelaide, Australia
to celebrate the official national day of the country.
After begging their mother, Nancy to let them go,
she relented, and gave them bus fare.
They were supposed to go for a quick swim,
and then be home that afternoon by 2:00 P.M.
But sadly, the children never returned from the trip.
Witnesses saw the children
playing with a mysterious young man at the beach,
but he was never identified.
Since then, police have investigated thousands of leads,
and dug up land in a number of places searching for them,
or even a clue as to what happened.
However, no trace of the Beaumont children
has ever been found.
Number five is the Dahlsjo case.
In a single day, specifically July 29th, 1965,
two separate disappearances occurred in
Gothamberg, Sweden that would leave the city's residents
shaken for a long time.
The first involved shipyard workers,
Gay Carlson, Jan Olaf Dahlsjo,
and Shell Auc Johansson who drove out of town,
but to where no one knows,
the men had been involved in some petty crime,
but weren't considered bad people.
The second disappearance involved another man
named Hubner Lundqvist.
He was traveling through the area,
and it's suspected that he may have actually been picked up
by the three other men,
only to suffer the same fate they did,
whatever that may be.
None of the four men were ever seen again,
and the mystery is one of Sweden's most infamous cold cases.
Number four is Hoer Verde.
In February, 1923, a group of visitors to the Brazilian town
of Hoer Verde made a horrifying discovery.
Though the small town
was considered home to around 600 citizens.
When the group arrived, they found that
every single one of the towns people had disappeared.
All of their possessions had mysteriously been left behind
as if the entire town's suddenly without warning,
or preparation of any kind just left.
The only clues found where a gun that had been fired
within 24 hours of the discovery,
and a chilling note that was written on a chalkboard
in the schoolhouse, that read there is no salvation.
One theory suggests that the villagers
may have been trying to escape guerrilla warfare,
but if so,
why would they not take their possessions?
Nobody from Hoer Verde was ever seen again,
or for that matter even heard from again.
Number three is Granger Taylor.
On the night of November 29th, 1980,
32 year old Granger Taylor from Dunkin,
a city in Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada,
left a note for his parents at their farm outside of town.
The note said that he was going to board a spaceship,
and fly off to explore the universe.
It also relayed his promise
that he would return in 42 months.
That night, he and his bright pink Datsun pickup truck
were last seen leaving a local diner.
42 months later his promise to return was broken,
and he remains missing.
Taylor's friends called him a genius,
but also said that he had become obsessed with aliens,
and how the technology would likely work.
He even built a replica UFO out of satellite dishes,
as well as scrap metal on the family's property,
complete with a couch and stove inside.
Granger believed that he was making contact
with something out in space,
and perhaps he did as he was never heard from again.
Number two is Glenn Miller.
Alton Glenn Miller was one of the best known
big band leaders of the 1930s, and 1940s.
During World War II, the famous American musician
toured with his band to entertain troops and improve morale.
They were always a hit, that is until December 15th, 1944,
when Miller was scheduled to fly from England to France
for a show.
But the small Royal Air Force plane that he was on
never landed at its destination.
The aircraft, and all the people on board it
vanished over the English Channel with no explanation
as to how or why.
Theories range from espionage, sabotage, enemy fire,
and mechanical error.
But with no evidence of a crash,
his disappearance remains unexplained,
and is considered one of the most enduring mysteries
of World War II.
And number one is Maura Murray.
Just after 7:00 P.M. on February 9th, 2004,
21 year old nursing student, Maura Murray
was over 200 kilometers from her dorm
at the University of Massachusetts Amherst,
when she crashed her car into a snowbank
in Haverhill, New Hampshire.
An eye witnessed called 911, but told the operator,
and later the authorities
that Maura didn't appear to be injured.
When police arrived 10 minutes later,
Maura was gone.
Earlier that day, she had emailed her professors,
and her supervisor that there had been a death in the family
before packing up, withdrawing $280 from an ATM,
and purchasing $40 worth of alcohol,
much of which was found spilled in the car.
All of this indicated that she was running away,
but where, and exactly why, no one knows.
