More possible additions that don't yet (at the time they were added here) have an article about the person or about their disappearance:

  • 1845 - Franklin's lost expedition, British Arctic expedition that was lost after getting ice bound. A few bodies and other clues were found, but the majority of the expedition was never found.
  • 1910 - Cecil Grace, aviator, lost on flight over the North Sea. This is the first disappearance of someone while flying an aeroplane. [1]
  • 1949 - Dorothy Forstein, wife of magistrate Jules Forstein, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, whose abduction from her own home on October 18, 1949 and subsequent vanishing remains unsolved and unexplained. [2] [3]
  • 1950 - Raymond Maufrais was a French journalist and explorer. He disappeared in the jungle at the feet of the unexplored Tumuc-Humac Mountains, on the border of French Guiana and Brazil. He parted from a group of hunters on Dec 11th, 1949. His belongings, including his diary were found abandoned on a riverbank in the interior of French Guiana in February, 1950. Despite numerous searches initiated by his father, and reports of a white man who had lost his memory living in the company of an indian tribe in the jungle, he was not heard from again. His harrowing diary, complete up to the point where he abandoned his last meagre supplies and determined to try to reach assistance downstream, was published in an English translation as "Journey Without Return", William Kimber, London, 1953.
  • 1955 - Stephen Damman (2), along with his 7-month-old sister, Pamela, disappeared in a stroller which had been left outside a bakery where their mother was shopping. A short time later, the mother found the stroller with only her daughter inside around the corner from the market. In June 2009, the Associated Press reported that a man claiming to be Stephen Damman has come forward and agreed to DNA testing to authenticate his identity (the FBI will be conducting the testing). [4]
  • 1971 - Lynne Kathryn Schulze (17), freshman student at Middlebury College, Vermont, USA, who vanished on December 10, 1971. Lynne, of Simsbury, Connecticut, USA, was reportedly seen hitchhiking on US Route 7 south of Middlebury shortly thereafter, but this possible sighting is not confirmed. Her case, which remains open under the auspices of the Vermont State Police, has never been solved.

  • 2002 - Audrey Herron (Born October 4, 1970, 31 years old at time of disappearance) has been missing since August 29, 2002. She was last seen at about 11:00 p.m., leaving her job at the Columbia-Greene Long Term Health Care Facility in Jefferson Heights, N.Y., where she worked as a nurse. Audrey walked out with coworkers to her vehicle where, after some small talk, she said she “would see them at work Sunday.” Audrey headed west on State Route 23 in a 1994 Black Jeep Grand Cherokee (NY tags reading X233UV). It's about a 30-minute drive from Jefferson Heights to her home in Freehold, where she lived with her husband and three children. She never arrived. Both Audrey and her car have vanished. Immediately after Herron’s disappearance, police and volunteers conducted ground searches by retracing the woman’s possible routes home, covering about 120 miles of roads and trails. Police also used helicopters to trace the routes. In May 2008, Herron’s case was among several included in a deck of New York “cold case” playing cards. The cards — relating to homicides and missing-person cases — were given to jail and prison inmates in hopes they might recognize someone and be able to provide authorities with information. Herron’s card was the jack of diamonds.[6][7]

  • 2009 - Jure Sterk (72), Slovenian sailor went missing near Australia after trying to make a new world record as the oldest person to sail around the world and in the smallest yacht yet. He was in regular contact with some of his friends and radio-amateurs around the world. He also made some of the calls for the Slovenian news which were then shown on the Slovenian TV news. In the end of January 2009 it was reported that no one has been able to call him for 12 days and that the radio-amateurs cannot establish contact with him. A merchant ship noticed his yacht around 1100km away from Australian shore but without any life signs on board. Australian coast guard made a pass with an airplane over the yacht but no sign of Jure has been found. Due to bad weather no one was able to land on the yacht. It is now reported that his yacht is probably sailing without control and has already left the Australian territorial waters entering open ocean. He is still being searched but for now his fate remains unknown.
