In November 2008, 30-year-old Ani Ashekian landed in Hong Kong—jet-lagged, excited, and ready for her next adventure. She sent a quick birthday text to her niece, withdrew cash from an ATM… and then vanished without a trace.

In November 2018, a young man vanished into the gray sea night, stepping across the forbidden line that separated two worlds. 
His name was John Allen Chau - twenty-six years old, an American with a quiet resolve, a missionary’s conviction burning in his chest. He sailed toward North Sentinel Island - a place sealed off from the modern world, where the Sentinelese have refused all contact for centuries.
But he wasn’t a...

In March 2020, 18 year old Eloi Rolland left his homestay on Auckland’s North Shore 
just before dawn. He was a French exchange student - curious, soft-spoken, 
and enchanted by New Zealand’s beauty. That morning he opened Google Maps and searched the word Piha. A remote black-sand beach known for its cliffs, its isolation… and its danger.
He caught a bus, then a train. CCTV caught him walking alone as the city wok...

In 1975, a musician named Jim Sullivan got into his car and left Los Angeles behind. He was heading east, chasing a new beginning - or maybe running from something he couldn’t name.
He was tall, handsome, magnetic - and his music carried that same restless energy. 
Songs about highways, lost souls, and vanishing into the unknown.
The kind of lyrics that feel like they’re trying to tell you something… if you’re real...

May 12, 2004 - a day that began like any other for the Devries family.  They were on vacation in Aruba, seeking a moment’s peace, maybe a bit of hope, after a great loss.  Fourteen year old Max, eager for an adventure, asked to go out on a jet ski with a man they recently befriended.
By afternoon, that simple request would become the portal to a mystery no one has solved. The man returned - alone. Max did not.

It was April 1st, 1981, when Johnny Waterman, a 29 year old brilliant climber and haunted soul, set out from the Mountain House deep in the Ruth Glacier of Denali National Park.  His goal was the East Buttress of Denali, approached via the northwest fork of the Ruth - an audacious, almost impossible route in the winter.
He carried remarkably little: a sled, snowshoes, not much food, and wands to mark his route. No tent, no...

He was a lawyer, an activist, a wild, larger-than-life figure who thrived in chaos. Then, one day in 1974, Oscar Zeta Acosta boarded a boat in Mexico—and vanished. No witnesses. No body. Just whispers of murder, political revenge, or a man bold enough to erase himself. Half a century later, the question still lingers: what really happened to Oscar Zeta Acosta?
