Art Scholl
Art Scholl had a career as an air show stunt pilot and as an aeronautics instructor. He then became one of Hollywood’s most in-demand and reliable flyers. In 1985, he was filming a scene for a blockbuster that led to his disappearance. He had been performing a scripted upside-down spin maneuver when he apparently lost control of his plane at an altitude of about 4,000 feet. He radioed, “I’ve got a problem here” before his plane crashed into the Pacific Ocean five miles off the coast of Encinitas. A day later, the search and rescue mission was called off. The Coast Guard stated he most likely didn’t survive the accident. Neither his remains nor his plane was ever found.

Licorice Mckechnie
The Incredible String Band was iconic in the late ’60s. Founded by Robin Williamson and Mike Heron, they added their girlfriends, Christina “Licorice” McKechnie and Rose Simpson to the group. Licorice was a big part of the band’s moderate success in the 1970s thanks to her vocal and songwriting contributions. The Scotland native returned to the area in 1986 to visit family. Soon after, she disappeared. Her sister dais she was in Sacramento recovering from surgery in 1990, while Mojo reported that her last known sighting was in 1987.
