Lost...and Never Found II

by Anita Larsen

VANISHED!
Every year millions of people are reported missing in America. Usually these missing people are found… but sometimes a person will vanish without a trace, never to be seen again. These cases are so mysterious, they continue to baffle investigators.

How can a wealthy heiress, an eccentric doctor, or a west point cadet just disappear? There are no answers to these questions and there probably never will be. In this book, you will read about these and other people who simply disappeared. What really happened to them? They were lost…and never found.

A good read, on how 10 people vanished without a trace.

[MV · Rating 2 out of 5]

I thought this book was far less interesting than its predecessor and seemed to have a lot more filler. The cases covered include:

1) Didirici - 1815 (I think the correct spelling is Diderici) - may be only a legend.
2) Helen Brach - 1977
3) The Pirates of Cocos Island - 1600s-1800s. Seemed like a serious stretch to include this one since none of these pirates really went "missing" and one of them may only be a legend.
4) The Bermuda Triangle -1800s onward. Relevant, but the chapter really dragged on.
5) Dr. Bernard M. Bueche - 1955. Not a lot of info in this chapter. I found a Wiki page online that claims he turned up years later and implies he disappeared on his own terms, with a linked source I can't fully view.
6) Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett - 1925. This is the Colonel who disappeared looking for the lost city of Z.
7) James Riddle Hoffa - 1975
8) Richard Colvin Cox - 1950

It took a long time to read this as it wasn't what i was expecting by the title. I would have preferred this to be about people that were lost and never found as the title states, which it kind of was but the what ifs or surmising or guessing what might have happened was pointless as it didn't reveal any results. Maybe it should have been called "What might have happened to these people who have never been found" as that is more what it was about. Would not read it or simialr books again.

Love true crime, this was amazing

One star for delight value at how badly-written this book and how poorly-supported its claims were. Almost DNFed

This book started out good and then got boring. I don’t think I paid attention to half of what I read yet I still knew what was going on. It is interesting to read about all these missing people’s cases and to think that the person who it happened to is probably the only one who actually knows what happened, but then they could not have a clue either…

If you like true stories, go for it! However, there are no details about the cases in this book that can't be found in other books concerning missing persons in the area.
