My suspicion is that some of the ambulances were taken over and those who were put into them "disappeared". There were some reports that a few ambulances were ambushed by evil ones to use for escape. The horrors of this event never stop coming at you, do they?

Imagine being put into an ambulance and thinking it was over and you were on your way to the hospital and then finding out terrorists were driving.

From A Dead City:

Their Beslan friends told the Karagandans that there were many more guerillas than the 32 declared by Russian special services. Awful rumors abound in the city, and many residents are convinced that the terrorists changed into civilian clothes during the evacuation and joined the human chain that was carrying children to the ambulances, and that later they took off with a truck-load of wounded and dead in an unknown direction. Supposedly, this is why so many bodies of missing have been showing up in fields far from the school.
