30 Celebrities Who Disappeared Mysteriously—Their Fates Still Unknown Today

Pichler had relocated to Los Angeles as a child to pursue his acting career, which had a promising start, with appearances in at least 14 movies and television shows as a supporting actor.

At the insistence of his parents, he paused his acting career in 2003 to finish high school in his hometown of Bremerton, Washington.

Pichler’s car, a silver Toyota Corolla, was found four days after his disappearance. Inside the vehicle, there was a note where he expressed the wish to be “stronger” and a desire for his possessions to be handed to his younger brother.

While the lead detective on the case suspects the incident to be self-harm, Pichler’s body was never found, making it impossible to conclusively state what happened to him.
