Hale Boggs
Around the time he went missing, Hale Boggs was one of the most famous politicians in America. He sat on the Warren Commission investigating JFK’s assassination before he became a House majority leader during the Nixon years. However, his personality became the star of the show after he verbally attacked J. Edgar Hoover in congress and doubted the lone gunman theory of the JFK shooting. On October 16th, 1972, he was in Alaska with a fellow congressman. The two got on a light aircraft headed for Juneau. They were never seen again. The weather was awful that day, so when he didn’t show up in Juneau, people guessed what probably happened. The biggest search operation in U.S. history took off. 90 planes searched 325,000 square miles of Alaska, but not a trace was found.

Ambrose Bierce
Seeing as he vanished in 1914, we think it’s safe to say that by now, Ambrose Bierce is dead. The writer disappeared at age 71. But the mystery remains: how and where did he die? Ambrose was said to have ridden off into the carnage of the Mexican revolution, despite not speaking a word of Spanish or having a clear plan. But that isn’t certain. Others wonder what the circumstances of his fate in Mexico, which are also unknown.
