Famous People Who Went Missing And Were Never Found

Other than having gobs of money, being a celebrity can't be easy. Sometimes, people might be out to get you, or you might just want to vanish and stay gone. We don't know why, but these celebrities disappeared and are still missing today.

At the time he went missing, Hale Boggs was one of the most famous politicians in America. A Democrat from New Orleans, Boggs had sat on the Warren Commission investigating JFK's assassination before becoming House majority leader during the Nixon years. Even though he looks black and white here, he had a personality that you could call "colorful." He verbally attacked J. Edgar Hoover in Congress. He was thought to be an alcoholic. And he became famous for doubting the lone gunman theory of the JFK shooting.

So, yeah. Hale Boggs: kind of a big deal in 1972. Hence the nationwide shock when he disappeared. On October 16 that year, Boggs was in Alaska helping a fellow Congressman's reelection bid. The two got on a light aircraft heading for remote Juneau. According to Medium, they were never seen again.

The weather was terrible that day. As soon as Boggs failed to show in Juneau, everyone guessed what had probably happened. What was then the biggest search operation in U.S. history was launched, with 90 planes searching 325,000 square miles of Alaska. But no trace of the missing aircraft or its occupants was ever found. To this day, there are some out there who think Boggs was killed for his work investigating the JFK assassination. It's not like there could be any other explanation for a small airplane vanishing over water in bad weather, right?

Were he anybody else, Michael Rockefeller's disappearance in 1961 would not have been big news. But he wasn't anybody else. He was Michael freakin' Rockefeller, son of the famous Nelson Rockefeller. It may have only been because of his name, but when Michael Rockefeller vanished off the coast of what was then Netherlands New Guinea, the world sat up and paid attention. Keep watching the video to see famous people who went missing and were never found!
