It’s fascinating how close we are to death and killers daily, and we never know until later if we find out at all. How close do we come to death on a regular bases? Who knows, especially when it is sometimes easier to see if someone is fucked up online and not in real life. I think those people probably hold their masks tighter in public but don’t worry about a slipping online.
Sadly, we don’t always get the answers in life that we want, and sometimes we don’t get any answers at all. That is life for the loved ones of people who went missing. This is their reality, they live through it daily hoping. That is why I think it is important to talk about, these families and friends deserve to know where their loved ones are at. I always hope that someone reading has the answers, and maybe they just don’t know that they are the missing piece to this.
There is always so haunting about someone whose identity is lost to the world, someone who is in a grave with no name and only known as John or Jane Doe. I wonder if anyone reported them missing or if anyone cares. In some cases, especially before the 90s, when someone was reported as a runaway, no one cared to look, family or law enforcement. In other cases, they were reported, but nothing was found because of how law enforcement operated. As someone who is critical of police, this is not meant to be critical of them since there was no national database, agencies didn’t work together, and because of DNA and forensic and modern advances, things have gotten better in that regard. Luckily, times have changed, but sadly people have not, and so many people need their names back.
I can’t imagine not knowing where one of my loved ones was, and not knowing for years would be heartbreaking and devastating, but that is the reality for many people every day. They just want to know where their family or friend went. I am always looking at missing persons cases; they are always a mystery. I hope that sharing these cases in hope it will reach someone who can help these families get the closure they need and deserve.
True Crime is a passion of mine and has been since I was in middle school watching forenic files and unsolved mysteries, and there are always case that I think about a lot that kind of haunts me, many of them crimes are solved and many are not. While technology has evolved many cases are still a mystery and many people are still missing. So, here is four people who are still missing as of 2021.
