[@DystopianUtopia8]

I think these stories are spawned from terrible police work and guilty parties trying to draw attention away from the truth. Unfortunately people love a good ghost story

Brian Shaffer is another case that's insane. This case happened in my hometown of Columbus, Ohio. A bar about 7 miles from me. He was on camera all night, then when they watched the video when trying to find him after the missing report was filed. The video showed him never leaving the building. They said the building was under construction but there was no way into the construction part of the building. That was in 2006 I think or 08 I can't remember but nothing has been uncovered ever since. I think it's so sad, and such a wild case. Also, hit home because of being in my town and so close down the road from me.

Heartland here too! Yes please check out this case, it really moved me when I heard about it a few ago. 🙏

[@Wabajck]

Watched something else about his disappearance and it was determined there was a blindspot in the outside surveilance so there was a small chance he could have gotten by without being seen. The other thought is he possibly left out the back, how he would have done that no idea.

"The Nutty Putty tragedy is horrific." ------------------------------------------------------ Yes it is.

Nutty Putty was a case of poor leadership.

[@ruadhan6707]

​@@kenthompson5723 ​ Nutty Putty was never about leadership. It was an open hole on a desert slope that young people just heard about and would go and crawl into. It was never a draw for experienced cavers because there wasn't any spectacular cave scenery and the hole ran only a few yards. Authorities never became involved with it because it was never a problem spot until someone became stuck and then died there. Once the death happened, it was immediately filled and sealed.

Honestly, the Madeline mccann thing is a horrible tragedy, but as a father of two: I would have NEVER left my kids in that room and then went out to dinner. No no no, completely unacceptable. That’s like if my wife and I left our girls sleeping upstairs in our house and then went out to dinner. It’s just something you don’t do.

The parents, Jerry and Kate are both highly educated professionals. I am very sorry for them in their loss. This mistake of leaving their children alone has haunted them ever since. I agree with you 100%. It's tricky enough keeping an eye on small children in a department store.

I feel Bad, and I’m sure the regret it. But I can’t fathom in what world they think that’s ok to do

[@Brandanmayhew]

Somebody has seen the parents going back and forth to the room and realised that there was an alone child in there. Most likely the perp was watching the family as soon as it arrived at the complex/building. Definitely wasn't pre meditated and I'd say it was an opportunist that thought you're kidding me they are leaving her alone, I'm taking her type thing.

*Nowadays we all know what most likely happened to the Roanoke colony, but everyone is too scared of being non-PC to say it, and to sponsor proving it.* At the time, that colony was the "invasive species" and the natives were the most likely ones to suffer from that "invasive species", and the most likely ones to benefit from capturing them. At the times those people had almost no experience with natives, and most of them likely would have only known to call the natives Croatoan. Sadly, being PC takes precedence over facts nowadays, so nobody wants to conclude that, and the ones who do get shot-down immediately as racist. Even though there was nothing racist about the natives wanting to extinguish this known-unknown category of threat. Even though even now many tribes kill people because they are the type of threats that are classified as "known-unknowns"

The last one, Connie Johnson, people were shocked when her dog just showed up weeks later. I heard they tried to get the dog to lead them back into the woods, hoping Ace would lead them to Connie.. But the dog was too scared/nervous and refused. Really strange. Strange why Connie and Ace would leave the camp site and where was Ace that whole time? Could be he was with Connie’s body and didn’t want to leave it, or he somehow got separated from her and survived long enough to be rescued himself.

[@Klm49]

Dogs are really loyal. He probably stayed with her until she passed away and then finally after a few days gave up and left her. I'm surprised and sad that the dog couldn't lead them back to her, or that someone didn't recommended bringing in a dog to track her by scent along with her dog since that might have helped her dog to figure out what they wanted it to do.

Maybe an odd suggestion but I wonder if they couldn't have given a tracker dog Ace's scent and had him track Ace's trail, where he'd been.

[@FarmhouseFelts]

@@swannoir that’s actually a good idea and I wonder if they considered that. I know initially they tried regular tracking dogs but they couldn’t find a scent. Connie’s case was featured on missing 411, and most 411 cases the dogs can never find a scent or right after the person disappears, there’s some kind of weather event where they’ll have to stall the search.

The Roanoke colony didn't disappear at all. They assimilated into the local native tribe because most of the able men had gone back to Europe for supplies and didn't come back for 3+ years. In harsh winter conditions. But if my wife and all her friends took all our kids and moved in with the neighbor, I'd say she disappeared too 💀

Good explanation!

[@mlisaj1111]

They may have done that…but it’s still a theory. I think there was some genetic analysis of the descendants of Native American groups living in the area, showing some typically European DNA mixed in….but, there was always inter-marriage over the decades, including later, so hard to say if it’s from Roanoke colonists. And there was Croaton or something similar carved in a tree, but who knows why that was there. Some parent could have been teaching their kid how to spell the name of the original inhabitants of the area, or it could be a boundary marker, or whatever.

[@philip-op6de]

Either assimilated, left in search for food/shelter, or they surrendered themselves to the natives

30:50 There are some details about Daylenn Pua that you should really mention about that case. The path he was on is closed to the public because it is falling apart and very delapidated. It was built during WW2 for a radio station at the top of the mountain. That being said it does not mean you cannot simply jump a gate and get onto it. In fact theres many points where you can get onto it. That man in the background was found and interviewed, he was a botanist who was collecting samples. This is the most likely scenario, he was climbing the trail, lost his footing and fell off. Nobody knows where he landed, the hikers that heard him a couple of days later couldnt figure out where he was either. He must have died before being rescued.

Did those who return across the Atlantic ever send a search party to Croatoan to try and find them? That part is never stated in every rendition of this tale I’ve heard.

[@looloolawrence4009]

The Kenny Veach case has always intrigued me. Another guy has attempted to follow his foot steps to try and find this mysterious cave that Kenny spoke of. He's found a couple of places, but thinks it may have been covered up, not naturally. He can't open or move rocks because apparently that's a crime in that area (something about not disturbing the natural things as it's considered a preservation area). Kenny could so easily have decided to end his own life as there are stories of him suffering from depression and not doing so well in his career ventures, and that if he wanted to disappear he knew enough that nobody would ever find him. Or we could go down the rabbit hole and there really is a cave, he got too nosy and interested in something he shouldn't be interested in and was taken/made to disappear etc. I feel so bad for this guy. It seems he just wanted to be happy but had demons (metaphorical ones) that stopped him from living the life he wanted.

And for the note “Don’t believe what Yoko says” I became curious if the father, or possibly the mother, suffered from dementia.

Cave diving is dangerous and Vortex had a gate on that opening before Ben got in. He was seen as skilled enough by the staff that they didn't stop him from going in though. Returning his body would actually bring good press, not bad. Body recovery from cave systems is dangerous but admirable. I personally think Ben stumbled onto a deeper part of that cave. It's been theorized to actually go much farther than what is recorded. He may have gotten disoriented and trapped in an undiscovered chamber. He was a skilled diver and may have thought he could handle more exploration, but I think his recent life troubles may have clouded his judgment of the risks involved.

If you're not guilty and have nothing to hide why would you refuse to answer questions? I believe Madeline's blood was found in the boot of a car Kate hired. Sure kids have accidents and even blood noses but why in the boot? I believe that's one of the questions she won't answer. Another weird thing is how much media coverage there's been of the case and how much taxpayer money has been spent on the search for Madeline. Many kids have gone missing since but within a month there won't be any more coverage. Why is there still so much coverage for this child and not others? Why has the government handed over so much money for searches so many times? Why don't they do that for all missing children? There's just something really unusual with almost every aspect of this case. Personally I don't trust the McCann's.

​@bookcat123 If you're in the same home as them and someone breaks in, you're very likely to hear them. Being at a crowded place having drinks, where you can't see or hear them is trash parenting and it's actually terrifying people compare the 2 and think her parents were good parents.

​@@proudmilitarybrat76 Being a mother myself, my girl (5) isn't allowed outside without an adult. If I bring her outside, eyes on her 24/7. Such a heart breaking case. And is my method perfect? Probably not, but I just wanna keep her safe anyway I can ❤

these were really young children and the parents and friends were at the restaurant a good several minutes walk away. They did not have full views of the place they were staying at from the restaurant table, and there was another access point to the apartment that could not be seen from where they were sitting. The child was 4-5 years old for goodness sakes! You don't leave kids that age unattended. They WERE irresponsible parents. I can't fathom going to a separate building several minutes walk away leaving such a young child, with even younger twins in the apartment. No, you don't do that if you are responsible.@@bookcat123

When it comes to kids, I normally wouldn't, i can't watch any news, it stays in my head for days , I seen kenny and I thought it as a deep dive, next time I'll make sure I read the title, you were so respectful in this video Mike, 🥲 thank you 💞.

A case close to home Trever Deely is extremely dark especially how you see the camera capturing him walking down the street at 4:15 am in the morning and then seconds after you see a guy in black running past as if to catch up with him and then you see a car zooming past before disappearing from view i firmly believe that the man in black and the occupants of that car were responsible for Trevor's disappearance

[@HeatherHugs]

Honorable mentions who I think about often… Jennifer Kesse, Brian Shaffer, Amy Lynn Bradley, Kyron Horman, Timmothy Pitzen, and The Springfield Three 💔

[@KathyHardiman]

Springfield Three really stays with me - so bizarre, and scary.

[@cherylsabol387]

You NEVER leave a child alone just so you can go out.. How many parents have claimed abduction only to find out later the parents were the monsters in the story??

[@amorkorollennu3813]

You are so correct.

[@ThePinsay]

The nerve to admit&stand by!......Disgusting parenting! Even if she was found!!!

[@sandrachisholm2310]

​@@ThePinsayShe'll never be found. They made sure she wouldn't be, all the while destroying everyone who opposed them. Portuguese detective, Martin Grimes and his amazing blood and cadaver dogs, the Portuguese Police...you name it. Because they were irresponsible. Poor little Maddie.

You should do another one of these iceberg disappearance videos because there are so many that were missed, including the case of Lars Mittank. I know you did a short video back in the early days, but this one just really bothers me, how he just ran from the airport into the woods never to be seen again. If someone was hiding/wondering around an airport, in most countries, for security reasons they would be located rather quickly. He was so genuinely afraid for his life that he ran off, was he really in trouble or was it just a mental illness starting to appear? These kinds of cases are why I would be ok with having a tracking chip placed in myself (heck I have one on my cat for that reason), how people can just vanish and we never find one trace of them is just something so haunting and scary. My heart goes out to their families.

[@deannamarie8389]

@niqaliaevans5004 the disappearance of Lars Mittank freaks me out. Same thing with Brandon Lawson who vanished while on the phone with 911. They finally found Lawson's skeletal remains... in a spot they already searched. The big one I really want to see solved is the disappearance of the Skelton Brothers. The 3 brothers have been missing for just shy of a decade. Every Thanksgiving, all the local news channels cover the case (the boys went missing at Thanksgiving).

[@Porkchop_Delight23]

This video wasn't made to be an all-covering iceberg video, he just used the "iceberg style." These are only _the most scary_ top stories.

[@Man-From-Another-Place]

There's also the Andrew Gosden case, but I suppose Mike wanted to cover stories which are less well known.

[@TheGlowingOnee]

He had a manic episode, what’s so hard to believe about that? So many people go missing from that and never found again. It’s very sad and unfortunate but true

[@Porkchop_Delight23]

How are you so sure about what happened to the guy? It's not like "so many people" run out of an airport off into the wild blue yonder after climbing a fence and running down a highway...that's fucking bizarre. Where did he go with no supplies or money?@@TheGlowingOnee

[@Bette_Fontenot]

Mackayla Bali had asked a stranger (the woman in the Tim Hortons) to help her rent a room. I'm wondering if she approached others during her day, getting more desperate as the hours went by, and finally found someone wo agreed. But possibly the "helpful" stranger harmed her, took her. She was supposedly meeting someone or trying to travel to Regina with someone she only knew from the internet, possibly that person could've harmed her - I don't think anyone ever came forward claiming they were the person she was in contact with and planning to meet.

[@ciscokid0110]

I really appreciated the stories of disappearances. So many people gone without a trace, some found, not in a good way. Anyway, you do an amazing job no matter what you do!😊❤️

[@millville]

Deserving mention is Lars Mittank, from Germany, who disappeared in Bulgaria during a holiday in 2014. He was last seen crossing the airport landing strip towards the bushes for no rhyme or reason and no trace!

[@TDog-jv6mo]

The Kenny Veach case has always stuck with me, his disappearance was always strange to me the m cave he was looking for that caused him to go missing always gave me chills
