30 Celebrities Who Disappeared Mysteriously—Their Fates Still Unknown Today

The actress, famous for her roles in Designated Survivor and NCIS, was accused by her ex-husband, J.P. Gillain, of disappearing with their child.

An arrest warrant was issued in Los Angeles County against McLellan for charges of child custody deprivation, kidnapping, and child stealing in May 2021. The incident happened in the middle of an ongoing custody dispute dating back to 2017.

According to Gillain, the actress took their then 4-year-old son, Sebastian, to Toronto without his consent. McLellan has been missing since April 2019, not appearing in any productions and presumably living under a different identity.

Fans have tossed around conflicting narratives about her disappearance, with one side believing she acted in an attempt to protect her son from harm, and the other that McLellan acted maliciously, and that she will be arrested as soon as authorities find her.

Lynn was a successful actress, model, and beauty queen before her disappearance on July 6, 1983. She was 18 years old.

Lynn rose to fame in the beauty pageant world, winning over 280 crowns from nearly 300 contests. She quickly transitioned into a modeling career that had her posing for CoverGirl Magazine in October 1978

The model appeared in various films, but her most famous role was her participation in Scarface in 1983.

After the shooting of the movie Spring Break had finished, the model went unaccompanied to a party one weekend and returned “a different person,” according to Wing Flannagan, one of her closest friends.

Months before her vanishing, Tammy reportedly started showing signs of mental distress, including a fear of being attacked. She was evaluated at a medical center and cleared of illegal substance use, but her behavior persisted.

The model was last seen in Cocoa Beach, Florida. Her mother struggled for years trying to find a culprit, with people such as serial criminal Christopher Wilder and kidnapper John Crutchley being considered suspects.

Harold Lewis, a Cocoa Beach Detective, said in 1985 that he received two telephone calls from an anonymous woman claiming that Tammy was alive and pursuing a career as a nurse.

The 23-year-old son of New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller and great-grandson of oil tycoon John D. Rockefeller, Michael was born into a life of riches.

However, in 1961, he set out for the remote Asmat region of Dutch New Guinea to collect tribal art and study the culture.

On November 17, while traveling with Dutch anthropologist René Wassing in a small canoe, rough seas overturned their craft miles from shore.

After two days adrift, Rockefeller told Wassing, “I think I can make it,” strapped gasoline cans to himself for buoyancy, and valiantly swam toward land.

He was never seen again.

Officially, the prevailing theory is that Rockefeller drowned before reaching shore. But local accounts by missionaries, journalists, and later author Carl Hoffman claim he made it to land, only to lose his life in revenge for a prior Dutch-led attack on the villagers.

Among the most chilling of theories is one that claims his body was ritually consumed, a remnant of the Asmat’s headhunting traditions.

Bierce was a celebrated writer and editor who mysteriously vanished after traveling to Mexico in October 1913.

The 71-year-old departed from Washington presumably in an effort to immerse himself in the revolutionary conflict of the Latin American country. Reports state that he successfully passed through Louisiana and Texas, crossing through El Paso into Mexico.

Bierce is said to have joined revolutionary leader Pancho Villa’s army as an observer, witnessing key historical moments like the Battle of Tierra Blanca.

His last known communication was a letter he wrote to Blanche Partington, a close friend, on December 26, 1913. “I leave here tomorrow for an unknown destination,” it read.

Bierce disappeared without a trace, with numerous theories emerging soon after about his whereabouts.

A legendary labor leader, Hoffa rose from teenage warehouse worker to president of the powerful Teamsters Union, championing higher wages and better working conditions for millions.

However, his close ties to organized crime and conflicts with the US government made him both revered and feared.
