Rico Harris briefly rose to stardom while playing for the Harlem Globetrotters, probably the sport's most entertaining team. When he was assaulted in a road rage incident and beaten in the head with a baseball bat, he had only been a member of the team for one month. He managed to live, but he never entirely recovered. He could no longer play the game because of headaches and balance problems.

In the years that followed, Harris's life descended into chaos. He was detained multiple times for offenses like burglary and intoxication in public. But he changed his life after having a near-death experience spurred on by an overdose. He moved to Seattle to be with a girl he had met. He also turned to narcotics once more.

Harris made the decision to travel back to California on October 9, 2014, in order to speak with his mother and brother and bring some of his belongings back to Seattle. He vanished somewhere on the highway. He had contacted his girlfriend at 10:45 to let her know that he was exhausted and was going to the mountains to relax. Days later, his automobile was located in a county park parking lot. Nearby, size 18 footprints were found, but Harris was never again located.

Glenn Miller, one of the most well-known Big Band musicians ever, enlisted in the military during World War II in an effort to provide entertainment for the troops. He forfeited a substantial paycheck and performed, trained, and raised army morale overseas for two years.

Miller and two other troops were traveling by plane from Bedford, England to Paris, France on December 15, 1944. The plane disappeared somewhere over the English Channel. Miller and his friends were never located. Additionally, the plane was never found.

Since they were not flying over a combat zone, it was suggested that perhaps friendly fire killed them. There were even rumored conspiracies that he was murdered or engaged in espionage. Later, an RAF navigator by the name of Fred Shaw would claim to have seen the same kind of aircraft being thrown from the sky into the channel on the day and time Miller was in transit, but it was never confirmed.

The tragedy of "Sweet" Jimmy Robinson's disappearance may in part be due to the fact that you might not be familiar with his name. When Robinson fought Cassius Clay, who is now known as Muhammad Ali, on February 7, 1961, he had the chance of a lifetime. He engaged in a 94-second duel with one of the best boxers in history. Robinson was Ali's fourth opponent ever, and because he was a last-minute replacement, he had not prepared at all for the fight.

Sure, not every fighter has the potential to be a champion. Robinson nevertheless made an effort. His record consisted of 25 losses and only 8 wins. He persisted, nonetheless, for seven years. Additionally, he was close with Ali. He claimed to have driven Ali about in a pink Cadillac and that the champion would occasionally give him cash when he was struggling in an interview from 1980.

The 50 boxers that Ali had faced throughout his career were the subject of an ESPN article that was being written in 2009. 49 was located, but Robinson was not. And this wasn't some clumsy effort. The FBI and police joined the search but found nothing. They were unable to locate a path, let alone find Robinson. Nobody knew the exact date of Robinson's birth. Even his complete name and whether or if he had a family were unknown to them. There was no established record of Sweet Jimmy Robinson anywhere.

Few people today are familiar with Lord Lucan's name. The 7th Earl of Lucan, whose full name was Richard John Bingham, enjoyed some notoriety in the UK during his lifetime. Rumor has it that before Sean Connery was cast as James Bond, he was a contender.

He wasn't destined to be the next James Bond for no reason. It was the 1950s, long after the Wild West had also made it a feasible possibility, and before the internet had made it an actual option for some people. The man drove an Aston Martin and abandoned his full-time job to become a professional gambler. The main problem with his choice was that he was a terrible gambler and lost much more money than he won. He owed perhaps around £250,000 in debts.

Eventually, Bingham's wife took their children and left him. Bingham reportedly lost his head and began spying on his ex, recording phone calls, and acting generally in a creepy odd manner. When his ex-girlfriend Veronica Duncan and her nanny were attacked in their house, everything came to a head. Duncan recognized Bingham as the killer after the nanny was murdered. After a manhunt, Bingham vanished without a trace.

Brennan Newton, the endearing St. Bernard featured in Beethoven's Third and Fourth, is the character for which Joseph Pichler is most known. When his family decided he should go back to Washington to finish his education, he had been acting since he was about 9 years old and had made appearances in a number of other films and television programs.

Police claim that Pichler, 18, left a suicide note behind when he vanished in 2006; even though no body was discovered, they plainly came to that conclusion. The Pichler family disagrees, though. The writing that the police allegedly discovered was simply that—writing. They think it was just creative writing like poetry. But according to the letter he left in his car, which police discovered close to a body of water, he intended to give his brother his possessions.

Sean Flynn briefly followed in his father Errol Flynn's footsteps. He had been in a few movies made in Europe. However, his work as a freelance photojournalist during the Vietnam War is what made him most well-known as a photographer. Time Life published several of his images, and he eventually worked for UPI. He rose to fame—or even infamous status—for his risky photographs in the midst of a conflict area. And there has been no end to the rumors that his final disappearance was brought on by this.

In an effort to capture his iconic images, Flynn parachuted alongside US soldiers. He and another photojournalist were searching for a Viet Cong highway checkpoint in 1970. They set off from Cambodia with the intention of visiting the checkpoint en route to Saigon and a press conference. They vanished without a trace. According to the Defense Intelligence Agency, the men were kidnapped by the Viet Cong and transferred to the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, who put them to death. There were never any bodies found.

In addition to his well-known short story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek," Ambrose Bierce wrote The Devil's Dictionary, which is widely regarded as one of the best novels of all time. He was well-known, productive, and a true American original. People certainly expected him to write something extraordinary when he said he was going to Mexico to document the Mexican Revolution firsthand. He instead disappeared and was never heard from again.

Most of his readers undoubtedly were unaware of another side to Bierce. He was well known for drinking and for being sarcastic. Numerous hypotheses developed to explain what happened to him because there was practically no evidence at all. Many of them were influenced by his famous image as a dark soul with a taste for the dramatic and lethal.

There are many theories out there today explaining what occurred. There are other options, including sickness, murder, execution, and suicide. From Dusk Till Dawn 3 makes the implication that the man was a vampire. Thus, there is a lot of speculation but no concrete solutions.

In the 1980s and 1990s, the Welsh band Manic Street Preachers became well-known, and possibly their most well-known song was "If You Tolerate This Your Children Will be Next." This happened soon after the band, which had been together for six years, experienced a significant setback when lyricist and guitarist Richey Edwards vanished.

Although not as part of a suicide attempt, Edwards had previously slashed himself and was known to have mental health concerns. In fact, after a performance, he is infamous for using a razor to shave the words "4 Real" into his arm in front of a reporter. As part of a promotional tour for their most recent record, Edwards was scheduled to visit the US in 1995. He disappeared the day of the flight.

He had taken out a few thousand dollars from the bank, left a hotel at seven in the morning, and was never heard from again. Records from the toll booth indicate that he crossed the bridge sometime later, but the records indicate that he did so at 2:55 a.m., before checking out. No corpse was discovered, however his automobile was discovered at a nearby gas station. The idea that Edwards staged his demise has persisted. Years of sightings have occurred, but nothing definite has been established.
