@@Benson_aka_devils_advocate_88 i know its spreading like wildfire all over the world. Its funny the city where it started is where chinas biochemicals labs is. Has it really come from bat meat or has it escaped from the lab.
@@howey935 Spreading like wildfire is a misnomer. It has at least a two week lead time before symptoms show. And as of me writing this it's exact method of transmission and when it becomes transmissible isn't fully understood. To be fair, the flu "spreads like wild fire," infact most viruses of this type do. What's worrisome is the 49% case fatality rate in critical care patients. If the flu was like that we'd need whole buildings as morgues, instead of small rooms or roll in refrigerators. Add in this virus is fatal in 2.4% of cases, which is on par with the 1918 Spanish flu, and that it kills otherwise healthy patients in greater numbers than the regular flu, and we have what could potentially be an illness that should be taken very seriously. And dare I say shown a healthy respect of fear.
Especially the mobsters of this group - they were almost certainly "disappeared". People like that former housewife though, probably did their own version of witness protection and made themselves disappear. Although, I think both DB Cooper and those two escapees from Alcatraz drowned and their bodies were simply never found.

Black Weirdo - I gave two days of my life to fb and came to conclusion I dont care for it, too much hassle. I already have real life, Im not going to build one online too. I dont care what mom ate for breakfast and nobody should care what I wear today. I rather have more personal interactions as well, liking someones pics doesnt do it for me (or poking, it was a thing back then..). But I have plenty of friends and family there, so I go every five years or so to see if theres something important. That has been the case only once. You are so on point, it _is_ faceless book! I dont even recognize some friends life from fb, its so heavily curated; Im more interested of their real life than seeing the best possible version of them.. But each to its own, I guess :)
Can i just say that, and please, I don't want any misogynist bullcrap under this comment, that if Kinne was a guy, there would never have been a string of mistrials, overturnings and acquittals and only 13 years in prison for yet another murder.
It used to be SOOOOO much easier. MANY MANY people we admire now were escaping a sketchy past, or making a fresh start. (I’m not talking about murderers and their ilk, which are way overhyped to give a reason for keeping tabs on everybody). Like when the DMV had to have my fingerprint after 30 years of driving, so, and this a direct quote, “If You get murdered. Or die in an accident, you can be identified!” I said, well I’ll take that chance, and basically, no fingerprint, no drive. That’s when I KNEW. Big Brother is truly here. When they phase out cash, which they’re doing NOW, they’ll be no WAY to even live off the grid, (if that’s what you want), Unless you don’t have to buy ANYTHING. No Private life AT ALL. No under the table, can’t give the kid next door 10$ for mowing your lawn, (heaven forbid the government doesn’t get their cut from every single transaction), no stashing cash for an emergency, (which you’ve paid taxes on ANYWAY). Tracking everything you do with your own earnings, EVERY SINGLE THING you buy or do. I’m glad I’ll be dead by then.
Sadly John Wilkes Boothe was a very famous actor and Lincoln very much wanted to see him preform. All he had to do was walk up to Lincoln that night put his pistol on the table stated who he was and asked to talk to him. Everyone in the booth would have seen the gun his intent and seen him turn to his fame not his firepower to win some fame not infamy. I think with what history has shown post murder it would have been better for the south in general if Boothe had acted like a diplomat and not an assassin.
Michael S - Hmmmm, let me think... Trumps legal records over the decade prior to his presidency show 73 affairs (adultery), some including prostitutes, 5 abortions paid for in settlements (murder), over 30,000 people defrauded in failed projects (theft), two counts of obstruction and two counts of collusion. Oh and over 16,000 lies so far in office. Please do try and keep up.
swampk9 I absolutely am serious! Trump is a liar, a con man, a spin doctor, a marketer. The Mueller report said that there was clear evidence of obstruction and collusion but they were unable to prosecute a sitting president. At the impeachment "trial" the reason the senate gave for not allowing witnesses was that trumps crimes (again, obstruction and collusion plus abuse of power), were not in question, they did happen, he did do the things he was accused of. The senator said they were here to decide if those crimes were worthy of impeachment, which they decided were not, in favor of the president. But Trump spun both events saying he was cleared, found innocent of all charges, completely exonerated, and his followers BELIEVED him. It’s like people can no longer think for themselves.

This list was interesting, but also incomplete. There's a few other notorious criminals who vanished without a trace. Yorkie Mickey, a man who, in the 1850s, ran a clam business out of a saloon in Buffalo, NY, which was really a front, since the bar was also a brothel. Anyway, Yorkie fell in love with a woman known only as "The Thrush" (real name unknown), and the two of them got married in Yorkie's saloon, the wedding being followed by a big celebration with everyone drinking to their hearts' content, including the groom himself, who practically began ignoring his new wife, who then left the bar to go with a young sailor, who just happened to wander into the place. When Yorkie later found out about it, he became enraged and started rampaging through the town, until he found the Thrush in bed in the room her new husband had fixed up "for the wedding night," her bridal gown in disarray, her lipstick smeared, and a roll of cash pinned to her pillow. Realizing what had happened, Yorkie became so angry, that he grabbed the Thrush by the neck and choked her to death. He then disappeared from Buffalo, supposedly to look for the sailor. He was never seen again. Some say that he booked passage on a boat to the Great Lakes, but no one knows for sure. Since then, Yorkie Mickey has become something of a folk legend, often referred to as "Yorkie Of The Great Lakes." It's said that whenever a mysterious light appears over the lakes, it's believed to be Yorkie's ghost still looking for the sailor who seduced his new wife. The Apache Kid (real name unknown), a former Indian scout in the 1880s, who, for some reason, turned bad and went on a violent crime spree, robbing, raping, murdering, etc. One day, somebody claimed to have shot a man who matched the description of the Apache Kid, telling the authorities that the "Kid" went off to die somewhere. It might have been true, since the Kid was never seen again, but some folks say he didn't really die, that he simply decided to give up his life of crime and settle down. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, the legendary outlaws made even more legendary by the 1969 motion picture about them with Paul Newman as Cassidy and Robert Redford as Sundance. Both of them vanished around the year 1908, and the official story is that they were killed in a shootout with soldiers in Bolivia, where they had fled to after deciding it was too dangerous to stay in America, but others have doubts about that. Some say that both died in the shootout, others say only one of them perished and the other escaped, still others think they both escaped unharmed, and even reunited with Sundance's old girlfriend, Etta Place. Cassidy's sister insisted that her brother had visited her long after he supposedly "died." In the 1930s, someone wrote a book called "Banditi Of The Plains," which was allegedly about the exploits of Butch Cassidy and other outlaws. The descriptions of crimes committed by these Western criminals, as well as that of the wide open spaces of the Old West, sounded so vivid and real, that there was a rumor that the book's author was none other than Butch Cassidy himself! This theory, of course, has yet to be proven. Bela Kiss, infamous Hungarian killer of the early 1900s, who raped and strangled many women across Hungary, and some, perhaps, in Vienna, Austria as well (most of the police reports linked Kiss with at least 27 murders, but others think he may have killed hundreds of ladies, including his own wife after finding out that she had been seeing another man, whom he also murdered). Around the year 1916, Kiss disappeared. The official reports of the Hungarian police and army say that Kiss was "killed in action" while fighting in the Austro-Hungarian military during the First World War, yet for years after that, many people have reported seeing him (or at least, someone who resembled him) very much alive (a New York City police detective even said he saw the killer boarding a subway train, but was kept from capturing him by the huge crowds). It was later determined that Kiss had faked his own death in the war by switching his identification papers with that of a young soldier who had been dying from his wounds in an army hospital. Nevertheless, Bela Kiss ("the mystery man of Europe," as he was called) was never caught, dead or alive. Thomas "Terrible Tommy" O'Connor, a Chicago gangster who was sentenced to death by hanging for the murder of a policeman in 1921 (ironically, the officer was trying to arrest O'Connor for another murder, but the charges in that case were dropped). A few days before his scheduled execution (at the Cook County Jail in Chicago), O'Connor escaped, along with a few other inmates, and was never found. Because the county officials were still legally bound by the death sentence that had been imposed upon "Terrible Tommy," they were, for decades, compelled to retain the original gallows on which he was supposed to be hanged until he could be captured, or until his fate can finally be determined. Of course, it's highly unlikely that O'Connor will ever be found alive, since he was born in 1886, which would make him 134 years old if he were still living. Even if he were caught, he most probably would not be hanged, because a) the state of Illinois had replaced hanging with the electric chair in the 1930s, and then, decades later, the "hot seat" had itself been replaced by lethal injection, and b) O'Connor's death sentence would legally have been declared null and void by the United States Supreme Court's 1972 decision outlawing all executions that had been ordered before that year. Although the death penalty has since been restored in many states, including Illinois, Tommy O'Connor still wouldn't be executed because the current capital punishment laws didn't exist when he was condemned to hang in 1921, nor would he be hanged under the laws that did exist in 1921, because they had been voided by the High Court's decision of '72. Whatever the case, the fate of Thomas "Terrible Tommy" O'Connor remains a mystery to this very day. Also, a lot of people believe that other well-known crooks of the past, like Jesse James, Billy The Kid, and John Dillinger, didn't die in the way the authorities say they did. They don't believe that James was shot to death by Robert Ford in 1882, or that Billy The Kid was killed by Sheriff Pat Garrett in 1881, or that Dillinger was gunned down by F.B.I. agents in 1934. What they do believe, however, is that other men were killed in their place, thus giving the actual outlaws an opportunity to vanish entirely and take up new lives under assumed names, without the fear of the law catching up with them. Unfortunately, none of these theories have ever been proven.
Yeah, there was that guy in the 30's who claimed to be Billy the Kid (my source of reference is Young Guns 2, so you know I'm very historically well-versed!). But then again there was that one chick who claimed to be Anastasia, and it was all a crock, so the Billy the Kid guy was probably the same.
@@TH3F4LC0Nx A list of ten, that lists ten, is a complete list of ten. It's great that you have more, but there are actually thousands of killers that have never been caught, so that is probably why they just picked ten. They did not specify what qualifications to be on the list entailed, besides never being seen again in public, so their list is not misleading....
D. B. Cooper didn’t cross my thoughts until you mentioned him. After reading the title, my first thoughts were of Jack the Ripper. Such brutality and horrific murders and they became worse and worse with each kill. So why did the Ripper vanish? Leaving nothing but unanswered questions and tragedy in his/her wake. The other name that immediately came to mind would be that of the Zodiac Killer. Again, multiple crimes. Each more brazen then the last and *POOF*; they, along with the taunting letters, just stopped.
Wow, Charleston! I've actually been there. You wouldn't even know there was a town there anymore. It's next to the San Pedro River between Tombstone and Sierra Vista. All the buildings were burned or scavenged and the Army used the area as a bombing range in the 50s from what I heard.

Nope. Not your best Simon. There are lots of people/criminals who've disappeared in the last 100 years, going back to the 1300s? "There's little information...." ya don't say... How about he lone man who escaped from Alcatraz? I'm drawing a blank on other's I've heard of. Going back to the dark ages is a little questionable as historical records are flimsy at best.
So is the number two guy where the word villain comes from, or is it the other way around? I'd guess the later since I'm not for sure, but I'd guess his name just means French Villain.

The official reports of the Hungarian police and army say that Kiss was "killed in action" while fighting in the Austro-Hungarian military during the First World War, yet for years after that, many people have reported seeing him (or at least, someone who resembled him) very much alive (a New York City police detective even said he saw the killer boarding a subway train, but was kept from capturing him by the huge crowds). It was later determined that Kiss had faked his own death in the war by switching his identification papers with that of a young soldier who had been dying from his wounds in an army hospital. Nevertheless, Bela Kiss ("the mystery man of Europe," as he was called) was never caught, dead or alive.
Thomas "Terrible Tommy" O'Connor, a Chicago gangster who was sentenced to death by hanging for the murder of a policeman in 1921 (ironically, the officer was trying to arrest O'Connor for another murder, but the charges in that case were dropped). A few days before his scheduled execution (at the Cook County Jail in Chicago), O'Connor escaped, along with a few other inmates, and was never found.
Because the county officials were still legally bound by the death sentence that had been imposed upon "Terrible Tommy," they were, for decades, compelled to retain the original gallows on which he was supposed to be hanged until he could be captured, or until his fate can finally be determined.
Of course, it's highly unlikely that O'Connor will ever be found alive, since he was born in 1886, which would make him 134 years old if he were still living. Even if he were caught, he most probably would not be hanged, because a) the state of Illinois had replaced hanging with the electric chair in the 1930s, and then, decades later, the "hot seat" had itself been replaced by lethal injection, and b) O'Connor's death sentence would legally have been declared null and void by the United States Supreme Court's 1972 decision outlawing all executions that had been ordered before that year. Although the death penalty has since been restored in many states, including Illinois, Tommy O'Connor still wouldn't be executed because the current capital punishment laws didn't exist when he was condemned to hang in 1921, nor would he be hanged under the laws that did exist in 1921, because they had been voided by the High Court's decision of '72.
Whatever the case, the fate of Thomas "Terrible Tommy" O'Connor remains a mystery to this very day.
Also, a lot of people believe that other well-known crooks of the past, like Jesse James, Billy The Kid, and John Dillinger, didn't die in the way the authorities say they did. They don't believe that James was shot to death by Robert Ford in 1882, or that Billy The Kid was killed by Sheriff Pat Garrett in 1881, or that Dillinger was gunned down by F.B.I. agents in 1934. What they do believe, however, is that other men were killed in their place, thus giving the actual outlaws an opportunity to vanish entirely and take up new lives under assumed names, without the fear of the law catching up with them. Unfortunately, none of these theories have ever been proven.
Yeah, there was that guy in the 30's who claimed to be Billy the Kid (my source of reference is Young Guns 2, so you know I'm very historically well-versed!). But then again there was that one chick who claimed to be Anastasia, and it was all a crock, so the Billy the Kid guy was probably the same.
Interesting post. Thank you.
How was it incomplete? It was a list of 10 and there were ten. You just don't know what a complete list means.
@@ohtheblah
I was going to say that.
@@TH3F4LC0Nx
A list of ten, that lists ten, is a complete list of ten. It's great that you have more, but there are actually thousands of killers that have never been caught, so that is probably why they just picked ten. They did not specify what qualifications to be on the list entailed, besides never being seen again in public, so their list is not misleading....
D. B. Cooper didn’t cross my thoughts until you mentioned him. After reading the title, my first thoughts were of Jack the Ripper. Such brutality and horrific murders and they became worse and worse with each kill. So why did the Ripper vanish? Leaving nothing but unanswered questions and tragedy in his/her wake. The other name that immediately came to mind would be that of the Zodiac Killer. Again, multiple crimes. Each more brazen then the last and *POOF*; they, along with the taunting letters, just stopped.
Hooray, I get to comment first. Another great TopTenz! Keep them coming!

Wow, Charleston! I've actually been there. You wouldn't even know there was a town there anymore. It's next to the San Pedro River between Tombstone and Sierra Vista. All the buildings were burned or scavenged and the Army used the area as a bombing range in the 50s from what I heard.
For some reason, I find the UA-cam icon for this channel very hard to comprehend. I know it's supposed to be Top with a crown on top of the T, but when I'm scrolling through my feed I just don't notice it.
How about a Biographic on Ambrose Bierce? He vanished from history during the Mexican Revolution.
It's been theorized that he was most likely killed as a spy or thief, since he was in the wrong place at the wrong time according to several people who claim to have seen him in parts of Mexico that he should not have been in....
Thousands of people were executed because of the unstable politics and loyalties at that time.
What was he known for? I've never heard of him
@@joyceblackmon1745
He was an American short story writer who wrote the devils Dictionary and vanished during the Mexican Revolution. He wrote "Occurance at Owl Creek Bridge" a masterpiece short story where a civil war soldier being hanged at a creek feels the rope break, falls into the creek, escapes and tries to find his way home to his beautiful wife and plantation, enduring horrors along the way, and finally reaching the arms of his beloved...or does he?....

Ever heard of Frank Matthews?
i was expecting him to be here
Loved it, as usual!
That first poster at the very beginning is clearly Joseph Gordon-Levitt. If he went missing it was either in a dream or time travel.

Jack the Ripper? Or was it just criminals you knew the identity off?
Carl Page
Charles Cross. He is believed to have been Jack the Ripper.
mangano was surely overthrown as crime boss and murdered through greed and jealousy, and the gambino crime family was then established. probably a close family member of mangano did it

Love when people say they know .🍀
Nope. Not your best Simon. There are lots of people/criminals who've disappeared in the last 100 years, going back to the 1300s? "There's little information...." ya don't say...
How about he lone man who escaped from Alcatraz? I'm drawing a blank on other's I've heard of.
Going back to the dark ages is a little questionable as historical records are flimsy at best.
I have relatives named Matuschka....
So is the number two guy where the word villain comes from, or is it the other way around? I'd guess the later since I'm not for sure, but I'd guess his name just means French Villain.
D B Cooper should have been number 1
Thanks again. Why not add a recent one on this list? Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès?
I enjoy watching your videos, much better on business blaze, I feel we get your real personality there. Also I suggest you stick with the beard, it may be harsh but I cannot watch your no beard vids. They leave me looking at you like who is this weird little man. With a beard though legendary

Made myself jump... listened to a newer video and had to turn my volume up to like 50. Then this 3 year old video was next in autoplay and blasted my ears lol.
DB Cooper didn't get his own number? :(
most of these were invited to a little shop that made special concrete boots.

Thousands of people disappear every year. Never to be seen or heard again. Not to mention all the homeless children born every year that aren’t counted to start with.

Re: William Desmond Taylor. Read Cast of Killers.

Oh man, I've gone through Biatorbágy and below that bridge so many times, but I never even heard about this Matuska person. Weird to learn about him through this video instead of hearing about him from my own countrymen. According to the Hungarian Wikipedia article, he was most likely captured by Yugoslav partisans and was later burried in a mass grave in Szabadka.
IT WOULD BE SO NICE IF WE WOULD START MAKING ALL PEOPLE THAT DO CRIMES FOR A LIVING JUST DISAPPEAR

Seems I've heard of a couple modern occurrences of someone having been burked to death, but I can't find anything about it on google. I'm pretty sure it was on an episode of CSI NY, but it could've been Law & Order, or NCIS. I can't remember. I'm over 50 and I smoke a lot of pot, give a dude a break.
@13:04 After the Biographics video watch *Burke and Hare* (2010) with Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis; or even the 1972 *Burke & Hare.* Both are pretty funny.
What's with Mexico, bruh
What type of caricature is it at 14:05...hideous...by the way, we love stories about these evil mobsters and all other criminals, since these occurred so long ago. They just don't seem real!

There's an excellent book about William Desmond Taylor's murder called A Cast Of Killers if you're interested. Director King Vidor was planning a movie about it, but when he discovered what had actually happened, he didn't have the heart to tell the story. A biographer found all of Vidor's notes from his investigation and wrote the book.
How about Jimmy Hoffa ?
is johnny duece, johnny ringo? if so he died there in those mountains
