Not every has-been thread getting bumped now.
Anyways, The Case of D. B. Cooper
Quote:
D. B. Cooper is a media epithet popularly used to refer to an unidentified man who hijacked a Boeing 727 aircraft in the airspace between Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington, on November 24, 1971, extorted $200,000 in ransom (equivalent to $1,160,000 in 2015), and parachuted to an uncertain fate. Despite an extensive manhunt and an ongoing FBI investigation, the perpetrator has never been located or positively identified. The case remains the only unsolved air piracy in American aviation history.

I actually find these types of things really interesting and strange to read.
I've heard the one in the OP before. The whole Madeleine McCann story is sad too (the parents definitely know something) and also Elisa Lam. The video of her in the elevator is just so strange and the fact her body wound up somewhere where no-one could get access to? So so so eerie.

Blimps are kind of the fat, slow-moving Rascal scooters of the sky, so Lieutenant Ernest Cody and Ensign Charles Adams probably felt like they were in for a relaxing balloon ride when they were assigned blimp patrol duty on August 16, 1942. Right up until they freaking disappeared without a trace from inside their completely undamaged L-8 airship.
Shortly after setting out of San Francisco towards the Farallon Islands, the two sailors radioed in about an oil spill that they were going to investigate. A few hours later, their L-8 was spotted off course over Daly City, where, after sideswiping a few houses, it came crashing down. Bystanders rushed into the cockpit of the gondola ... only to find that no one was on board.
Naturally, the Navy investigated the hell out of the matter, only to find that no lifeboats or parachutes were missing from the ship. In fact, besides a few absent life jackets and the door being stuck open, everything was in perfect order. The engine and radio were both humming along nicely, and there was no sign of a struggle. Could the Japanese have captured Cody and Adams after they descended to inspect the oil spill? Did they both accidentally fall out while making emergency repairs to the ship? If so, what were they repairing?

And her TV was on for 2 freaking years until they finally found her.

In January 2000, 18-year-old Zebb Quinn was meeting his friend Robert Jason Owens when he suddenly received an urgent page and rushed to the nearest payphone, presumably in his Model T.
It was soon discovered that Quinn had been showing romantic interest in a woman named Misty Taylor, who had a jealous, physically abusive boyfriend. Now this is important, because phone records confirmed that the page Quinn received before vanishing came from his aunt, who claims she wasn't home at the time, because she was hanging out with ... Misty Taylor and her family.
Two weeks after Quinn's disappearance, his abandoned car was discovered in a parking lot with a pair of lips and two exclamation points written on the back window in lipstick. A number of items definitely not belonging to Quinn had also been found in the truck, including a jacket, a still-unidentified hotel room key, and a three-month-old Labrador puppy. Since the car happened to be parked across the street from a hospital where Quinn's family worked, it's almost as if someone was trying to send them a message...
Needless to say, it didn't help. Nothing from the truck led the authorities anywhere near Quinn, who still remains missing, presumed dead.

I think Owens did it. He was arrested this year for the murder of someone else. And the police found suspicious stuff buried in his garden.
But that Misty situation is fishy af. Quinn was involved in a romantic relationship with Misty, who had a violent boyfriend. And at the day of Quinn's disappearance they were having dinner at Quinn's AUNT's house, whom Quinn wasn't very close with. Maybe all of them had a hand in this, but this case is really weird.

Oh yeah I forgot about Owens. He's was very suspicious. One of those two knows what happened for sure.
Just the mystery of it all is what makes these things so interesting.

Actually, everyone could access the roof through the fire escapes. I suggest you to read this, and the top comments. They pretty much explain everthing on Elisa's case:

The guy in the OP was a 'flying saucer enthusiast' so it sounds like he was mentally ill tbh.
Elisa Lam is the creepiest.
EDIT: Just read some of the stories in this thread. I am scarred.

so being a UFO enthusiast makes someone mentally ill? 
& that still wouldnt explain him just disappearing anyways
