The Intellectual Disappearance Problem: Potential Missing 411 Cases

[@MissingVoidTV]

Hello all, I'm still putting the research together for the worldwide National Parks disappearances video and the language barrier is pretty massive so it's taking me longer than I thought it would, but in the meantime I came across scientists who had gone missing under unusual circumstances and there are some pretty strange ones with odd reporting in here so do leave your thoughts.

As a response to the defecting at least. I've read many stories from north korean about soldiers or pilots wanting to secretly defect but because of the strict totalitarian regime over them, they make no "plans" to leave that include their family or personal belongings. The one I can think of was a north korean pilot who broke formation and defected towards a border state. He was later interviewed by a south korean media outlet and he's said he'd wanted to leave for years but he knew it was impossible to get out without being noticed with his family and belongings. He then said on a standard flying and formation run, he decided that defecting at that moment was the only chance that he was going to get. Obviously these aren't directly connected in anyway. But it is an interesting addition to why he would have continued the research with the government and university, if he was active and was also planning on defecting, the government would think some what the same as you and I'm sure many others in that because he had on going research with them therefore he wasn't planning on defecting. However, it could be to the contrary, he continued his studies so that he'd have less eyes on him over time. The longer hes there for and more dedicated to the regime he seems, the government will trust him and giv him a longer leash with more money. And over time he may have used that to his advantage. Just a thought.

Hi, I think in the case of the female runner (Natalie), could she have been running and just decided to sit down to rest and take in the views only for the rock she sat on to break away from the cliff and fall. After she landed at the bottom, other rocks that had been loosened by the fall of the 1st rock could have fallen down on top of Natalie thus crushing her before she had chance to either gain consciousness or get out of the way.

Well, if you interested, I can tell a bit more about the missing of Peng Jia Mu. Lop Nur is a much bizarre place than you might think. It is always a place involves missing people, unexplainable phenomenon. In 1950s, a group of tomb raiders toke back some strange artifacts. Strangely, many of these people went mad soon after they get back. Some of them zombified start attack citizens, some of them running to die, I mean, some of them got their entire foot wear out but still keep running. Further study found out that these tomb raiders have some unknown fungi in their stomach. Local governor realized huge potential of weaponize these planter. They setup a scientific research team. Peng Jiamu was leader of this team. You know, Peng is a biochemist scientist. Luo Nur is basically desert. Why local government send biochemist to a place where plants do not even exist? Because these planters. As far as I know, Peng visited Luo Nuro at least two times. The first research findings is far beyond their imagination. What I heard is that, followed trace of these tomb raiders, they found an ancient site, with a lot of machines they have never seen. Of all these machines, the most bizzar machine was a jade they call “double fish jade”. It got this name because while scientist experiment on this machine, it literally cloned a fish into two. In later research, the team poisoned one fish to death, the cloned fish died the same way... 10 hour later. After Peng’s return, they immediately start to setup team for a bigger excavation team. Unfortunately, 10 year Chinese cultural revolution broke out before Peng was able to take the second visit to Luo Nur. At that time, Peng was already diagnosed cancer. To unveil the mystery of that ancient site, I believe, is Peng’s biggest wish. You know his last sentence “ I go east for water” is actually “ I go east for water well.” Why? Because the water well is a important landmark they used to find the ancient site.

[@ShawnFly19]

Before the Peng’s missing, the weather got really bad as if someone trying to stop the team exploring. There was huge debate weather to proceed. Peng was very sure the site is nearby. That is why he only toke limited supply and went out to seek the site alone.

Natalie, are ewe missing?

[@3emeraldangel]

In the case of Natalie I have an idea, it could have very well been a freak accident. She had enough outdoor experience, that those who knew her stated she wouldn't climb without proper equipment. In my hometown there is a backroad surrounded on either side by rocky cliffs. There are signs about 1/2 mile back warning of possible falling rocks, especially after rain. What if as she was running by some rocks fell down, causing her to instinctively step back, possibly slip and loose her footing (assuming the terrain was as rocky as described its easy to slip on loose gravel). A good hit on the head can easily kill a person, especially if it's a decent sized rock, falling on an equally hard surface doesn't make matters better either. There are many cases of people living their every day lives suddenly being killed in a freak accident. I'm not say it happened like that, but its definitely a possibility.

@Shifu Sage and he said numerous people search that exact area several times I guess and her body was not there.

I've seen them where they've been 6 foot apart in a straight line 4 days different groups doing the same thing in the same area have dogs and they never pick up a scent and then when they go back over it they a month 3 month whatever down the road boom there's a body right there.

[@jessicabarczewski1910]

Today on his You Tube channel, David Paullides addressed the fact that the news only accurate about 50% of the time when it comes to reporting on these disapperances. So I commend you for trying to piece these together. In your last case, I wonder how many tourists go to that area, especially rich European and American tourists. The reason for asking is, if this area is flooded with tourists then having a news story about one of those tourists would be bad for business. However, lying about finding his body would mean the story could be controlled and those who want to control it could blame his death on inexperience, bad equipment, etc. Having him vanish would mean news stories rehashing his disapperance popping up every so often and possibly ruining the tourism.

[@whitedragoness23]

I do believe he fell, was left there by himself as his companions went for more equipment. Then he woke up, found himself alone and absolutely no idea if he was left for dead or in a surreal situation. The other body could of been from a previous loner who past away but didn’t notify others of where he was going Or the news got their info wrong. But yes I realized how badly the news can be when it comes to reporting. A few times I would hear breaking news then they all repeat the same wrong information prematurely. Then they back track cause they completely reported it wrong just so they could be the first to report something Other times they accuse innocences of wrong doing then it’s realized the person is innocent and they erase all the accountability they have

[@michaelpalmer8629]

@Journeystomake Alkebulan mmm... I don't know. I read up a bit about the Chinese scientist's disappearance. There's more to it than the video covers. The expedition was apparently running out of supplies, so Peng's looking for water was urgent & may suggest why he walked so far. There were also suggestions of suicide (he may've had cancer) or foul play (coming to blows with fellow scientists over dwindling supplies) but nothing was confirmed. However, his colleagues weren't surprised by his disappearance. I think the harsh environment can easily explain his demise. Not sure about the others. I sometimes think people can make more mystery out of a disappearance than is necessary. From what I've read the most mysterious disappearances tend not to be the ones most people haven't heard of. Walter Springer Lawton may've fallen into a river (the dogs traced his scent to a spot on a bridge, but without trying to find the spot on Google Maps I don't know if that' the case). John E Warren's disappearance is very odd. Some suspected he ran off to another life, but nothing suggests he did that. Others suggest he had a heart attack & his body just wasn't found (but I think that is unlikely considering the terrain didn't seem particularly rugged). If he was abducted whether his former defence work had any connection to it is unknown. Vladimir Alexandrov could've defected to the Americans, been vanished by the KGB (they might've felt he was too compromised by his close work with the Americans or knew his work on nuclear winter was bunk), or even had a drunk altercation with his Cuban minders. P. S. I Googled bridges at Mountain Top, Pennsylvania & found one which matched the description given in the Charley Project's entry for Walter Springer Lawtom's disappearance. There doesn't seem to be a river running underneath it. It might not be the bridge though. His daughter spent years looking for him in institutions, etc. but never found him

While they surely know their fields (I hope so) scientists sometimes are extremely foolish outside of their topic of research. If you work with them outside of their specific field you will notice.

I think that he left China. I think that someone picked him up, and that it was preplanned. He was too smart to have gone searching for water by himself in a hot desert. He would have known, given the conditions, that he would have, likely, not survived such a search. This was a perfect place to go missing, where people searching for him, would have quickly given up in the search. Therefore, I doubt that he would have, deliberately, put himself through such suffering. If he wanted to die, he could have done THAT to himself, without having to endure suffering in the process. It is very likely, that someone DID recognize him, some time later, in a different country. He, probably, had information to sell for a safe relocation and a new identity.

When park officials say "looks like fatal climbing injuries" and investigators say "cause of death unknown" this means that the park officials are likely just exhibiting confirmation bias toward the thing the most often see: death by park related injuries, while investigators could not determine conclusively that the injuries sustained were related to the death, or possibly could not determine conclusively that they were not post mortem artifacts. Basically, investigators actually have the ability to determine a cause of death, while non-investigators have the ability to navel-gaze and pontificate... or to put it another way, unless the coroner says it, its a guess, and nothing more.

The story is often mis-reported. He was not arrested by the CPC, but reprimanded by local police. It wasn't because he was whistle blowing, but because protected health information was being shared. He understood this and told the people he was sharing the info with not to share widely. The CPC apologized for the arrest, said it was a mistake, and he is not viewed as a hero throughout China. You often see more accountability for mistakes in China than you do in Western countries.

Speaking as someone that will attempt things on impulse, sometimes I just get mildly curious and climb places I probably shouldn't. I fell 10 feet from a cliff once that I had no business attempting to climb, but I just saw it and wanted to climb it. Sometimes humans are dumb.

If there are so many contradicting reports, I guess only the family members can verify and confirm if the bodies were found or not, and the causes of death... It will be great if some journalist could get in touch with the families so that we can know the truths..

Lord knows we don't have many journalists left.. certainly none in our media. I find myself wanting to reach out to some of the families as well to hear them out. If rich, powerful people want you gone, you will be, and there will be no resolution.

[@neonsashimidream1075]

Let me first say this is a great video and done very well. I have to say I've noticed this trend in KZbin of saying things like "cause of passing" instead of "cause of death" or to use the term "passing" or "pass away" in unusual and inappropriate places. The term "pass away" or "passing" is a polite and euphemistic way to talk about death when coping with grief from the loss of a family member, friend, or when helping someone cope with grief who has lost a family member or friend. It's very strange to use that term while giving specific details of a crime or mysterious death of someone you don't know. It is also very strange to use that term when talking about a violent death. When using these terms in these contexts they come off as jarring, flippant and even comical. I understand that that is not the intention, but it is true. It also hurts the credibility of the video when the video is supposed to be giving precise facts. "Cause of passing" is not an actual term but a strange hybridization of a clinical term and a euphemistic one. This has a very strange effect. I would urge anyone who is making videos like this to avoid using terms like "pass away" or "passing" when referring to deaths that are being discussed from a facts-based point of view.

The Trenny Gibson, Stacey Arras and Dennis Martin cases are probably the top 3 that still freak me out the most. To think people so young can completely vanish in a matter of seconds in close proximity to others and absolutely no trace is found of them over 45+ years later is mind-boggling.

[@mesmer3780]

Thought the same thing. Everyone is always so baffled as to why these people are found vast distances from where they went missing, and up cliffs or mountainsides, or else wedged into rock ledges or under hollow logs. No one ever seems to consider that perhaps they were running for their lives and trying to hide.

I would suspect a stray dog. I was running for a little bit, and dogs were a constant threat, they simply cannot let something run pass them without giving a chase, it's an instinct. My guess is, that she was running and a stray dog gave a chase after her, barking, growling and snarling like a beast from bottoms of hell. She panicked and run out of a cliff trying to avoid the furry torpedo. It might not be even be a stray dog at all, someone took "Buddy" for a walk without a leash and didn't pay attention to what the hell their dog was doing (I've seen plenty of that). They found Buddy barking at an edge of a cliff, called him back and pat it on the head not giving the whole situation a second thought.

[@aleksosis8347]

This channel is what happens when the concept of “wilderness” is so unimaginable that the very real dangers seem supernatural. We have a park in Chicago, in which two hiker were lost and unable to navigate out for 4hrs as night fell. That is within a major urban area. It takes so little to disappear forever. Most can’t even conceive of the size of the landscape because visualizing it would terrify them. Rescuers can’t possibly cover any area 100%. Animals can tear apart a carcass in one week with virtually no visual evidence other than scattered clothes, impossible to pick out of the underbrush. Even if the objects are discovered, they are never connected to a person. Many go into the wilderness to commit suicide anonymously. The wilderness can confuse and kill the most experienced hikers and sadly, most enter ill-equipped, overconfident and careless. Statistically, every person who has entered the wilderness has experienced disorientation at least once. Exposure kills you so slowly that you’re half dead before you realize you’re even in danger. It’s amazing to me that more people don’t disappear without a trace.

Dr Christopher .. If she was out for a run, did maybe some rocks come loose and fall on her? Lots of rain u said so it's possible. Rock slides are a hazard.

Please, any information on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Love the work you are dedicating so much time and effort into.

Re Natalie: firstly, a 13ft cliff, or even a 20ft one, isn't particularly intimidating to somebody who's fit and experienced in outdoor activities. Maybe she dropped something into the ravine (her phone?) and thought it would be easy enough to climb down and retrieve it, without realising the rocks were unstable. If I were in that situation, I'd certainly at least consider climbing down. Secondly, if rocks were lying on top of her body, that would make it even more difficult to see her. And lastly, just because somebody's found under a pile of rocks at the bottom of a ravine, doesn't automatically mean that it was the fall that killed them, hence the "cause: unclear" reports. It wouldn't have been at all obvious to investigators whether she'd been killedby the fall and/or the rocks, or whether she'd been killed in some other way and then dumped there to make it look like an accident.

I think Natalie Christopher accidentally slipped and fell into the ravine, while running on the slippery, rain-damaged trail. I think she survived her initial fall, but her cell phone didn't work because she was in a ravine, so she attempted to climb back up by herself. Sadly, a large rock, being loosened by the recent rain, gave way when she gripped it, and she plunged back down the cliff, with the large rock landing on top of her, killing her. Her cell phone's battery eventually ran out. Searchers didn't see her at first, due to the tree and the rock obscuring her body. Very sad.

You know, to be fair, 13 feet is not a very tall cliff. A person 6 foot tall could easily reach up to 8/9 feet, a good 2/3's of the distance. People who enjoy bouldering routinely scale small faces like that without equipment as they aren't considered "that" dangerous. --That's not to say someone couldn't die falling from one, but... it's not that crazy to think someone running might not think "oh, that's a small cliff, let me climb that real quick and see the view." etc. It happens really, really frequently, and often doesn't result in any problems.

re:Natalie -- 13 feet of "cliff" is not very high. We have ditches 13 feet deep. Sounds like she was not from the area and was not used to large rocks being so loose and thus it looked deceptively safe (and fun and quick) to scale. They came loose and fell on top of her.

Being left alone must be very disconcerting and to do so while someone is unconscious and not aware of where your companions are must be quite frightening on awakening, especially as they might have concussion and be dizzy and/or confused.
