Connie Converse
Connie Converse was a relatively unknown and unsuccessful musician in the 1950s. She quit music in 1961, feeling like a failure, and settled down into a quieter life. She loaded her car in 1974, told her friends she was starting a new life, and vanished, never to be seen or heard from again, still carrying the heavy burden of regret on her shoulders. It’s possible she committed suicide or died in some other way, but it’s also possible she was wildly successful in her new endeavor and lived to see herself receive the credit she deserved.

Jim Sullivan
Jim Sullivan was a cult folk-rocker in the 1960s and 1970s who vanished just days before his big break. This was a man with all the skills, connections, and a gig in Nashville, Tennessee; that would have been his big break… if he’d ever gotten there. His car was discovered abandoned outside of Santa Rosa, New Mexico. His belongings, including his guitar, were later discovered in a nearby motel, but the man himself had vanished. Some speculate that he chose to vanish, but none of his friends believe he would leave his guitar behind.
