The Creepiest Cases of People Disappearing

[@fabiola4166]

[@frisk151]

Lie detectors only work on people who are scared and shaken up.. They are more of a tool law enforcement uses to try and rattle suspects and tarnish them in the press. I once lied through my teeth, trying to make myself shake or trip it up, by way of a friend in law enforcement - as a baseline test for the department.. I blatantly lied (and my friend knew it, but the examiner didn't know me from atom).. GOOD detectives will never eliminate or even lessen their suspicion if someone who "passes" a "lie detector" testing, or multiples passes with flying colors.. IF they do, then they are amature at best..

And I'm sorry, but the argument of "mourning does nothing to bring them back, so stop," has got to be the stupidest argument against an emotional response I have ever heard. If someone loses somebody they love dearly, they can't just tell their emotions to "stop". Not to mention that, as painful as the process of mourning is, it is ultimately healthy for the individual. Shoving the emotions down and trying to "get over it" is mentally and emotionally exhausting and does not do the person any good.

Clint isn't guilty for wanting a lawyer, he's smart. Your mom could be missing and you'd still be best to not talk without a lawyer present. Cops don't want your help, they want to see if you're guilty, and no matter how innocent or truthful you are, they're still there to get you to confess, not to see what you know. There was one story awhile back of a guy that confessed to harming his father because the police manipulated him into confessing under the guise of coming to him for help. His father was actually alive and the police just manipulated him until he broke down, even bringing his dog in there telling him they'll put him down if he doesn't confess, that's the people who clint lawyered up from.

[@leigha2814]

To be fair, if your ma is missing you're more likely to be a suspect than most people are (other than her partner). But the best advice is never to talk to cops without a lawyer. In a neutral environment cops will tell you that, too. I personally think Clint was protecting Brian who ran away, but even so, that doesn't mean the cops wouldn't make him look worse.

If there's no organized crime involvement, usually they end up at the bottom of some ventilation shaft to be found 30 years later when someone goes down there. Especially if they're drunk. There was the case of the one dude who died in the walls of a very popular club and wasn't found for weeks. And iirc that guy was sober. If it was foul play, if there are 0 clues, they could be anywhere on the planet. Probably at the bottom of a lake or remote woods.

When he mentions foul play and getting the body out without being seen, I’m like what makes you think he ever left?

Hopefully they actually searched the bar, the piping, grease storage etc much more extensively than this video would lead you to believe.

The police in South Korea just handled the frog boys case poorly from start to finish. Wonder if they were connected to the military base…

[@noi_den]

I think they were definitely covering for each other. It seems most likely that one of the boys got shot accidentally and the officer shooting at the range, either with help or alone, decided to cover up the evidence and get rid of the witnesses. It seems most likely the police would cover for the military and vice versa, in this situation and with that political climate.

[@roflewafe47]

The bullets found in the boys were the same they used at the base, at least according to this video.. So unless someone had access to these kinds of firearms, then someone on base most likely shot them. Either accidentally or intentionally.

While I have heard of all three stories before, the story of the frog boys is just a constant reminder how little the South Korean government cares about its children. The Sewol Ferry disaster is another great example of that and it makes it less odd how their birthrate is falling so hard. Who would want to get children, when those who should take care of them while their parents work and ensure their security, have zero interest in doing so?

[@bradsanders407]

How was the ferry accident the governments fault?!?! Sure they lied to the parents to keep them from showing up to the scene and trying to get inside a capsized ship. Its called a lie for the greater good. By the time rescue got their there was nothing that could be done but rescue those who made it out. The rest were doomed and anyone dumb enough to climb down in the ship would never have comeback out alive. The navy performed a test to see the viability of escaping a ship listed on its side and it took 8 grown men 18 minutes to get just one out of one room and if that person has anymore doorways to get through he's no less stuck then the rest of them.

​@bradsanders407 you're not very familiar with that incident, are you? The first rescue ship got there within half an hour.

There was a Japanese ship that offered aid in the area- they were refused. There was literally an American military ship there that offered over three times to assist because they had specialized search and rescue divers on board - they were refused. They were also refused when they tried to offer assistance recovering bodies. Survivors say they watched "rescuers" from the coast guard watch without helping as they tried to break windows and escape. The government wasted precious hours that lives could have been saved with. They also did nothing to stop or correct national news headlines falsely saying they rescued everyone.

[@ripvanwinkle2002]

my theory for the last one is, they were going to the army base to collect souvenirs like the empty shells, a thing boys would definitely do.. and explains all the empty casings and bullets among the corpses this ALSO explains why they wouldnt tell anyone what they were really doing that day.. HOW or WHY they died i havent a clue..

[@noi_den]

I think the theory that an officer was shooting at the range that day and accidentally hit one of the boys, then tried to hide the evidence and get rid of the witnesses to cover up his accident is the most likely. Whether this officer had help or not, I couldn't say, but this theory is absolutely possible and what I personally think happened to them. The simplest explanation is usually the right one, and your idea that the boys went to collect trophies fits in perfectly with the whole accidental shooting/hiding the crime theory. Of course they wouldn't tell anyone where they were going because any parent or guardian would tell them that it's not a good idea to hang out near a shooting range, even on a day when no one is supposed to be there! I feel so bad for the parents.

[@crypt84]

@@noi_den The bodies showed blunt force trauma only, so they weren't shot. I think the image shown in the video is very misleading in that regard

[@kurtbilinski1723]

This does seem most likely: searching for casings and live rounds (explaining why both were be found on them). The blunt force trauma could be due to them falling down the hillside on the way back and being unable to continue, eventually dying of hypothermia.

[@chrisdowning6396]

Omg.. that is a really good theory though.. especially, with all of those empty casings , and everything...

[@sleepingbee8997]

My first thought when I heard there were bullet casings with the kids was that one of them had found a gun and wanted to show it off. As soon as I heard there was a military base, my next thought was souvenir hunting. I loved to explore as a kid, and I know if I routinely explored that mountain, I'd be very tempted to sneak in there. Grabbing the bullets as a neat keepsake is a logical next step for the kids. The question of how they ended up bludgeoned to death is a harder one. If it was natural causes, then I'd assume one of them fell, and the others fell or became exhausted trying to help them. They didn't go for help, because then they'd have to admit where they were. If it was homicide, the accidental shooting doesn't make sense to me. You shoot downrange and hear someone scream, you call for help. It's not your fault if someone wanders onto the range. What makes more sense to me is if they were caught and an over-enthusiastic guard hit them with a rifle or baton, trying to punish them or just "exert his authority" like a bully. One or more of the kids goes unconscious from the beating and he realizes he's gonna be in trouble, so he disposes of all of them.

I'm so glad you covered Brian's case. His is one of the missing person cases that really sticks with me. I've watched so many videos about it and read a tons of posts, and there just isn't any solid conclusion. I hope the family has answers someday.

[@chendaforest]

The first one has been covered extensively, apparently the CCTV surveillance to the front of the bar was only intermittent which would have allowed him to leave undetected. Though I remember the case, I think you featured, where some guy vanished in a club and eventually his body was found behind some dry wall he appeared to have accidentally fallen through or something. Maybe something similar happened at the construction site though you would have thought it all would have been thoroughly checked. And South Korean police seriously sucked. But it was a dictatorship so its not surprising. Minor point, South Korea did not 'return' to democracy - it never was a democracy prior to the 1990s.

[@bk138gt6]

I think Brian went out the door without a camera, ended up in the construction site, passed out and got crushed or something

[@noi_den]

I think it is the most likely explanation, that he fell on the construction site in an area where he wouldn't easily be found and construction went on as normal without them even realizing his body may be there. I am surprised not more went into investigating the construction site, at least according to this account. I don't know what kind of construction site it was, but people accidentally die on construction sites, especially if they don't know where they're going, and I imagine if he was drunk it makes it that much more likely he fell down a hole or something like that.

[@FawnCC]

I’ve watched more in depth coverages of this and it was an interior remodel and it is considered to be unlikely because there weren’t many places to hide and equipment would have been used on visible areas. Plus the area would have ended up smelling as he decomposed.

They covered a very large area multiple times. Nothing was ever found, large predator is unlikely because the only predator capable of that is black bear and their population is scarce here in NY.

The "Frog Boys" case feels damn near self-explanatory to an extent, considering that the bullets came from the base. Whether one boy was accidentally shot and the rest purposely executed, or any other scenario that may have taken place, their deaths definitely seem to be linked to that army base. Because of that, the case will likely never be solved, unfortunately.

[@jus10lewissr]

Not to take away from that last comment, but that's probably the most rhyming in one paragraph that I've ever done in my life. Lol

As far as the frog boys go, I think they wandered onto the military base, not telling their parents that that was where they had planned to go, so that they could collect rifle shells. I used to have fun collecting spent blank casings from a military museum near where I live when I was a kid, and I can absolutely see them planning a trip to get in there and snag some military souvenirs. As to what happened afterwards, I have no idea, but that seems to be a likely explanation for the casings and the kids secrecy to me.

[@Roland_Deschain_of_Gilead19]

I agree with the other commenters, even if you're totally innocent and the police need to interview you, you need to get a lawyer. Also, as somebody who has worked in mental health for over 10 years, the possibility that Brian ended it seems by far to be the most likely. When I've seen people attempt to end their own lives, substances are almost always involved because it lowers your inhibitions and makes you more impulsive and less likely to think through things logically. Many times, when we interview families of the patient, they will say they had no idea the person was depressed or was thinking about attempting to end themselves. On average, men use methods that are more likely to be fatal. Brian was also very versed in what would be most likely to "work". I would also like to say that there is a chance the security cameras just missed him because the technology at the time was not the best and if he took a jacket or hat off, he might look different enough where they saw him on camera and assumed he was somebody else. That's just my speculation though. I'm avoiding the S word because of KZbin systems that flag things.

Polygraphs are an unreliable “tool” used in investigations, yet not allowed as evidence in court. For a good reason. My husband was a Federal LEO for 42 years. He was considered to be the best of “top tier” investigators. Upon occasion young agents attending polygraph school would ask my husband to be a test subject for the students. He chose one thing to “lie” about in each test. Like the name of his mother, how long we had been married and so on. He passed every test showing “no deception”. He simply repeated the lie over and over to himself before the test. Now he understands the polygraph better than the general public, he’s also a very mentally and emotionally strong person, however he stated that no one should subject themselves to that test.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

There is a fourth option for Brian: He could have an accident. So neither foul play nor deliberate disappearance. There was a case where they found remains behind a box freezer of someone who went missing years before. He simply fell behind the freezer, got stuck there, perished, and wasn't found. So there is a chance that Brian is still somewhere in the building. And nothing wrong with lawyering up and denying a polygraph. Those machines are even in the best case just marginally better than randomly guessing. And if there is any risk that you might say something stupid or get manipulated, even if you have done nothing wrong.

I think it's more likely he went into a hole or crevice. Anyone doing something to him would have had to hide the body as well as any evidence of foul play without anyone noticing anything strange. Foul play isn't a magical answer when other things don't make sense because you have to consider how they were able to actually do it.

I love how Sean always says "the last one is particularly scary" or something like that and i find them ALL super scary lol every single time

Tom was taken to an eternal green land, where he can hunt and enjoy nature forever, with his youthful vigor renewed.

[@kaylahjames1093]

I’m with Clint, you should never take a polygraph.

[@ashkii9452]

I don’t trust em either

[@SkyFyre2435]

They're not admissible as evidence in court because of how inaccurate they are. Police shouldn't be allowed to use them.

1. Drunken suicide, maybe guilt from cheating on his gf because of the grief? 2. Slow onset stroke 3. Police cover-up of military That's my conclusions, I think the disappearance of Tom is the most confusing as the search effort really should've provided SOMETHING and foul play is pretty strange for someone almost on their death bed How Brian managed to leave the bar without being unseen is a complete mystery though

Just yesterday I went from binging lost cases up to creepy door cam videos, up to the point where I forgot about the lost cases binge. Glad this remembers me
