No AIBU just posting here as more people use this topic.

I know being famous means you cannot leave your old life and start again like some missing people must.

Some people just vanish though don't they? Taking no money or ID.

Can people just "disappear? I know a lot of these people will have been murdered and no evidence found but how come it hadn't happened to anyone famous.

Had a drink tonight abs I can't really put it into words what I'm trying to say.

My husband says that the entire Leeds United defence went missing last Saturday (he’s a Man Utd fan)

That lad who played the bully in Grange Hill went missing. He even got assaulted as people cant separate fact from fiction

Adolf Hitler? His death was never proved to the satisfaction of everyone - and many of his hench men also vanished

Some of them ended up in the USA:

Olivia Newton-John partner ( maybe recent ex I can't remember) was missing pressummed dead, while he didn't have a public profile she definitely did.

John Stonehouse, an MP who pretended to commit suicide doing a Reggie Perrin, but was caught out.

Although he's not a celebrity and I titled the thread MISSING I remember the "canoe man" faking his death.

Dave Chappelle disappeared at the height of his fame. He's always hinted at being horribly mistreated by Hollywood to be the reason for it.

I'm pretty sure Rupert Murdoch went missing.

Kate Bush was missing for a while but it turned out she was in an obscure part of Ireland which is virtually indistinguishable from missing.

smashionaltreasure · 21/08/2021 01:27

Lord Lucan went missing.

Yes, Agatha Christie went missing for a few weeks to Harrogate we stayed in the hotel that she went to and they have a little write up about it. We had a lovely weekend there although the first morning things went wrong and the dining room was more like Fawlty Towers as waiters were walking about with trays of breakfast and asking if it was yours. It was hilarious then a young man stepped in and sorted everything out very efficiently. We had a laugh about with him the second morning when everything went like clockwork.

Ive got a spoiler for everyone - Richey Edwards is Banksy

COL1N · 21/08/2021 01:46

Really?! How do you know that?

Watermelonkindness · 21/08/2021 01:49

@LemonSwan what makes you say that?

Robert Maxwell, not Rupert Murdoch. He "fell off a boat" just after his employees pension fund went missing. His daughter is Ghillaine, currently involved in the Epstein/Prince Andrew thing.

Daniel Küblböck

Oti's second partner on German Strictly, singer and reality star reported missing, later declared dead even with no body - as jumped overboard on a cruise.

Author Helen Bailey was initially reported missing but had actually been killed by her husband. She was 51. He was sent down for 34 years and will also be tried for the historic murder of his first wife in November.

Oh I really, really hope Richey is Banksy!
