His legacy remains shrouded in mystery to this day, with friends later reporting to local outlets that Kees had spoken about his desire to jump from the bridge or leave for Mexico and never look back.
He married his high school sweetheart, Barbara, and the two would move to Los Angeles in 1968. His wife landed a job at Capitol Records, and Sullivan was able to release two albums: 1969’s UFO and 1972’s Jim Sullivan.
Despite having some Hollywood connections, his records failed to make the impact he was expecting, and his career issues translated into marriage troubles, causing his separation from Barbara in 1975.
Unable to see a future for himself in Los Angeles, Sullivan planned to move to Nashville to restart his career, but disappeared on his drive there.
His abandoned car was later found with his belongings, including his guitar and unsold records. Despite searches, Sullivan’s fate remains unknown, and theories about his disappearance range from foul play to self-harm.
The rapper made plans in August of that year to fly to Mexico, and disappeared soon after landing in that country. Canadian police launched an investigation into his whereabouts, but to no avail.
Speculation at the time stated that his disappearance was linked to illegal substances and organized crime, as well as to the termination of his contract by CP Records, which presumably had a negative impact on his mental health.
Before that, the basketball player struggled with substance dependence after his career ended, returning to his mother’s house in Alhambra with no job prospects. He started using heroin, meth, and crack cocaine, getting arrested over a hundred times throughout the 2000s for public intoxication.
He met Jennifer Song, who would become his fianceé, after completing a rehabilitation program and working as a security guard.
Harris was excited to turn the long-distance relationship he had with his partner into a live-in one. He had secured a job interview for a position as a property appraiser in Washington, as well as updated his old driver’s license to that state.
The player visited his family before departing to Washington, hoping to get some closure about his past, then he drove north of Sacramento, leaving a message to his fianceé about “going up to the mountains to rest.”
Julie, Levi’s mother, is frustrated by the lack of progress in the investigation. Police initially suspected he had drowned after a man was seen in the water near the port, but the case was later closed.
Investigative journalists Dan Evans and Tom Latchem have criticized the investigation, claiming authorities failed to gather key evidence.
“The police [in Barcelona] have failed to properly get CCTV, they didn’t get the communications history Levi was using, and they didn’t do anything properly,” they said.
Evans and Latchem suggested Levi may have been blackmailed, and expressed frustration at what they believe is a failure on the part of Spanish and British police to work together.
Levi’s mother is now urging UK authorities to take over the case. She has remained uncertain whether her son was alive and has been struggling with the emotional toll of the ongoing mystery.
While initially thought to have been in hiding after his family was fatally attacked by the Bolsheviks on July 17, 1918, her remains were finally discovered in 2007, scientifically disproving her survival through DNA testing and putting an end to decades of women falsely claiming her identity.
Anastasia’s supposed survival famously inspired the award-winning 1997 animated classic of the same name by Fox Animation Studios.
The film was itself adapted from a 1956 live-action movie starring Ingrid Bergman, which followed the plot from a 1952 theater play.
