Some people vanish in the night.
Others disappear in plain sight, one form at a time.

In this unsettling true-crime compilation, disappearance isn’t marked by sirens or search parties. It’s logged, audited, renewed, dismissed, or quietly archived.

Each story is inspired by real public court and government records. Names and locations have been changed, but the procedures, and their consequences, remain intact.

These are cold cases without police files.
Disappearances without reports.
Lives that slipped through systems designed to count, verify, and move on.

Taken together, these stories reveal a disturbing truth: institutions are excellent at tracking compliance, and remarkably poor at noticing when a person is gone.

This is true crime stripped of spectacle and rewritten through forms, notices, audits, and closed cases.

By the time the paperwork is finished, the question is no longer what happened.

It’s why no one was required to ask.
