The missing people documented in these cases fit the following profile:[4][5]
Missing people are often found in areas previously searched. Not once, but many times.
Missing people are known to travel impossible, or highly improbable distances for their age and physical endurance level. Often, children under 4 years of age.
Missing are occasionally found with their dogs, or somehow disappear in the presence of them. Sometimes, searchers only find the dog.
Trained police bloodhounds, and K-9 units brought to the scene of the disappearance are either unable to pick up a scent, or refuse to do so, and lay down at the scene.
Inclement weather such as rainstorms and windstorms strike after a disappearance, impeding search efforts.
Missing people disappear in the late afternoon usually between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM
Missing people are found near the perimeter or in the middle of a swamp or briar patch.
Missing people are found in an unconscious, or semiconscious state. But, also dead.
Missing are found with one or more items of their clothing removed, without apparent reason to have done so. Missing shoes being a main factor at times.
Law enforcement and family members are often quoted stating that they believe kidnapping or foul play has occurred.
In my opinion this is one of the most uncanny mysteries of today and I think it's something LDer's could really appreciate, so I wanted to let you all know in case you can benefit from reading this :)
