The United States has reported an average of 600,000 missing persons cases each year for the past 30 years. The United States is just one of the 195 countries worldwide, and many missing people aren't reported. This makes it difficult to estimate the number of people who disappear each year around the world. It's undoubtedly in the millions and it's chilling to think about how high.

 Many of the missing are found quickly, with the majority being found in the United States within days. Many people who disappear are looking for a better life. Despite the overwhelming number of cases reported, there are still many unsolved disappearances. Some of these cases remain unsolved because the clues that are left behind raise too many questions or support multiple theories that make it difficult to determine a definitive answer.

 We are now armchair sleuths, with tons of frustrating dead-ends to solve and tantalizing mysteries to explore in our quest to find those we have lost. Here are five of the most enigmatically unsolved missing person situations.

5.The Sodder Children

The home of George and Jennie Sodder, nine of their ten children, was set on fire by flames on Christmas Eve 1945. George and Jennie managed to escape with four of their children, and they assumed that the rest had perished in the fire. When firefighters arrived at the scene, they discovered no trace of the missing children. There were no bones, teeth, or other remnants.

 Many interesting things were discovered at the Sodder home. Their phone line, which was thought to have burned in the fire, had been discovered to have been cut first. In the days that followed, both of their trucks did not start. Officials believed that someone had altered it.

The ladder that was taken from the house had been lost and was found at the base of an embankment nearby. Experts believe the fire wasn't hot enough to fully incinerate bones. This suggests that the kidnapping and premeditation were possible. Survivors of the Sodder have maintained that the five kidnapped kids were indeed kidnapped, and they are still missing.

4.Brandon Lawson

Brandon Lawson, his girlfriend Ladessa, and he argued on August 8, 2013. He left their San Angelo, Texas home and called his father to inform him that he would be visiting Crowley, Texas. Lawson was never seen again and never arrived.

 However, he was heard from. Lawson called his brother Kyle in the middle of his trip to inform him that three people were "chasing" him out of town and that he was running out of gas. There were more calls. Another call was to 911. Lawson stated that he was "in the middle of a field" with only one car. The man is chasing (inaudible) into the woods.

"Please hurry!" Some claim that gunshots can also be heard in the background. It was chilling to see Kyle and the deputy sheriff arrive at Lawson's truck abandoned. Lawson called Kyle, saying that he could see him and that he would never see or hear from him again.

3.Jennifer Kesse

Jennifer Kesse disappeared on January 24, 2006. Her home was uninhabitable, and her clothes and toiletries indicated that she had gone to work the previous morning. Her car was not in her driveway but was discovered at an apartment complex one mile away. Security cameras at the complex captured video of the man who dropped off her car, which was presumably what led to her disappearance.

 The video didn't show the face of the man, which was unfortunate for detectives. The security camera takes three photos per second. The man in the photo is seen walking behind the fence of the complex. Each shot of his face is taken behind a different fencepost.

There are very few chances that he is just able to walk at a perfect pace and hide his face behind a series of posts at exact three-second intervals. Kesse was once called "the luckiest person ever" by a reporter.

2.Croatoan Island

America's oldest mystery is the lost colony of Roanoke. It involved the disappearance and disappearance of 115 colonists. The colony starved for the first year. John White, the settlement leader, decided to sail to England to get supplies. Three years later, he returned to Roanoke and found the colony abandoned.

 The word "Croatoan", carved into a tree, was a cryptic piece that was found at the scene. White believed this to be a sign that the colony had moved to Croatoan Island nearby, but no settlers were ever found there.

Over the next decades, numerous expeditions attempted to find the settlers. However, they were unsuccessful to varying degrees. Many theories have been offered, including native massacres, relocation to unknown locations, and intermingling of native settlements.

John Lawson, an English explorer, visited Croatoan Island, now known as Hatteras Island, in the early 1700s. He reported that many of the natives claimed to have white ancestors. This claim was supported by the fact that several had grey eyes, which is a unique European characteristic.

1.Malaysia Airlines Flight 370

The Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappearance is probably the most well-known. It disappeared between Kuala Lumpur, China, and Beijing, China. The flight carried 227 passengers and 12 crew. While debris was found in the Indian Ocean by search teams, the bulk of the aircraft, including all 239 passengers, has not been found.

 There are many theories about what happened to the plane, including conflicting reports and a lack of evidence. There are many theories, including hijacking, crew suicide, and being shot down by the world governments, who later covered it up, as well as a meteor strike. The UFO abduction theory is still popular. At one point, it was suggested that the plane had been swallowed by a small black hole.

Winding-up

There have been many suspicious missing people in history, but this list of missing people should be considered as one of the top missing cases in the history of missing cases. The people on the list are famous missing people, if we go through the history of missing cases. This is all for today. I will be back with another interesting topic. Until then, stay tuned.
