    Mysterious disappearances aren’t new....Yet, as bizarre as these cases may be, there seems to be an even stranger type of disappearance out there; people who vanish in full view of others, under circumstances where it seems impossible that they could have even gone far, let alone totally disappeared. These are the cases in which people were there one moment and gone the next, seeming to have just literally faded from existence, leaving us baffled and perhaps even questioning what we think we know about this mysterious world of ours.

They took a yellow school bus to an East Austin residence where they stood behind their leader, Republican Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, as he announced a sweeping proposal to change how the state funds its public schools. Afterward, the lawmakers lined up at an ice cream cart, joking and laughing on that hot and sweaty day. Fast forward a few months. Nearly all...
