7 Celebrities Who Disappeared and We Still Don’t Know Where They Are

Can you imagine how hard it is to pull off a good act of vanishing? VERY hard. Just ask Steven Leung, who tried to make it look like he’d died during 9/11. Spoiler, that didn’t work. And now can you imagine someone like Beyonce just disappearing into thin air? That seems impossible. Yet, sometimes it happens.

Scott Smith

Scott Smith was a founding member of the band Loverboy but on November 30, 2000, he mysteriously disappeared at sea.

Smith, his girlfriend, and their two friends went sailing after Loverboy’s concert in Vancouver, B.C. When they were nearing San Francisco, the weather got stormy with gigantic waves. One of them knocked Smith of the vessel and into the water.

“We turned back around but couldn’t find any of the debris or cushions or the man-overboard pole,” said his friend Bill Ellis. Coast Guards and private searches couldn’t find him. His body was never found.

Rico Harris

In 2000, Rico Harris played basketball for a very famous team the Harlem Globetrotters but because of his drinking addiction he couldn’t pursue this career and went on to work as a security guard. In 2014, he was fired from there for drunkenness. When he left his mom’s house in LA and went to Seattle and stay with his girlfriend, he vanished somewhere along State Route 16 near Sacramento.

His backpack and phone were found on the roadside, but he was nowhere to be seen. Days after his disappearance people were reporting sightings of a giant person walking alongside State Route 16. Human footprints were found in the sand but not Harris.

Fan Bingbing

Fan Bingbing is a Chinese A-list celebrity, one of the few Chinese actresses to make it to the international market. But in 2018 her movie contracts leaked onto social media and it turned out that she’d been using fake contacts to avoid paying taxes. And on July 1, she disappeared.

People think that the authorities reeducating her this way and also show other stars the consequences they could be facing. Later in October, she released an apology on her social media and the Chinese authorities stated that she would be paying a fine. Nevertheless, she still has not been seen in public.

Bison Dele

Bison Dele whose real name is Brian Williams was a basketball player who was famously odd. When he quit basketball he was seen firing off bazookas into the desert in Lebanon, and then wandering through Asia, living as some sort of rich hobo.

In 2002, when he was in Australia, he learned to sail, bought himself a boat named the Hakuna Matata and decided to sail from Tahiti to Hawaii. He, his girlfriend, Serena Karlan, the ship’s captain, Bertran Saldo, and Dele’s older brother, Miles Dabord were on board but they never made it to Hawaii. Everyone but Dabord vanished at sea.

Dabord was arrested in Phoenix two months later trying to buy gold with his brother’s money. When he was released on bail, he committed suicide via insulin overdose. Supposedly he was prone to violence and envied his brother’s success.

If you or anyone you know is having suicidal thoughts, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

Oscar Zeta Acosta

Chicano activist Oscar Zeta Acosta relentlessly consumed pills, hallucinogens, and drunk alcohol in huge quantities. In May 1974, he went to his family home in Mexico and just vanished. His friend Hunter S. Thompson spent years searching for him and later claimed that he was probably killed in a drug hit or a political assassination. However, Acosta’s body was never found.

Richey Edwards

A rhythm guitarist and lyricist of Manic Street Preachers Richey Edwards was a mid-1990s British rock idol whom The Guardian called “a lightning rod of sorts for adolescent angst.” He was handsome, moody, and has a talent for writing lyrics about depression.

In February 1995 he disappeared from his hotel room and his car was found abandoned near the Severn Bridge. In 2008 he was legally declared dead but his body was never found.

Jim Sullivan

In March 1975, Jim Sullivan was heading to Nashville but he never made it there. His car was found abandoned in the desert outside Santa Rosa, New Mexico and his clothes, wallet, and guitar were all found in a nearby motel. One of his friends said that if Sullivan was planning to vanish, he would’ve never left his guitar behind.

Buscó por todas partes, pero no encontró las respuestas. Eso sí, tuvo una revelación durante su estancia en Ciudad Juárez en 1968, bajo los influjos del tequila, luces de colores y mujeres voluptuosas que bailaban a Country Joe and The Fish. “Lo que entiendo, después de todo este periplo, es que no soy mexicano ni estadunidense. No soy católico ni protestante, soy chicano por ascendencia y Búfalo Pardo por elección”. Una embestida de bisonte lisérgico.

La reseña que le hice a este gran libro :x

Brilliance in book form. I love the insight + enrichment books offer + these are some of my must reads. Classics like both the #RichardWright + #OscarZetaAcosta books are rich w/ details of the black + brown American experience (as relevant as ever), all praises due to Brother Malcolm of course + a salute to the Gawd #Coates. My newest treat is #AllThePiecesMatter, shout out to the big homie HG. The inside story of #TheWire?! Yes please.

Proud to be a part of this film @brownbuffaloproject especially during a time like this….. My heart breaks for families that are separated right now. Movements should be handled with #LOVE & #CARE period. The pain and suffering the children and parents are experiencing is traumatizing. We need more compassion. Text #BELONG to 9777 to support the petition bringing families together. #humanity #morality #care #protection #opportunity #brown #buffalo #pbs #beniciodeltoro #activist #oscarzetaacosta #keepfamiliestogether #latin #loveandpeace #reuinite #rise (at Los Angeles, California)

#OscarZetaAcosta aka the lawyer in fear and loathing in Las Vegas. Dude wrote in a crazy style. He disappeared and was never found. In the movie fear and loathing they referred to him as being Samoan but was chicano. If you watch the movie, there is a scene where you can see a UFW flag in the background
