Crater was declared legally dead in 1939 and his missing persons file was officially closed in 1979; however, cold case squad detectives have investigated new leads as recently as 2005. To "pull a Crater" became slang for a person vanishing.

Multiple theories about Woods's fate have been circulated, including claims she went into hiding after facing legal action in the early 1980s, a 2005 claim that she died of an overdose, and (the scenario Clark determined after hiring an investigator to research the matter) a simple abandonment of her adult entertainment history and decision to live a normal life incognito.

It was later revealed that he was working for the CIA at that time as well. In 2010 a video of him, somewhat emaciated, was released in which he begs for help from the U.S. government to be released. The U.S. government has regularly raised the issue of his release with Iran as part of talks between the countries, but Iran's statements as to whether he still is in their custody or even alive have been contradictory and it has been speculated that Levinson is no longer under their control if he is still alive.

She had just settled in there the day before after abruptly moving out of her Montreal apartment, where she told her parents (who had noticed that she had grown depressed and fearful over the last two months) that she no longer felt safe but would not explain why. Reports in 2010 that she was living in Hawkesbury, Ontario, could not be verified. In 2017 a friend of hers who knew her in Montreal during that time said that when he pressed her specifically on whether she had been raped or witnessed a murder, she said that what had happened to her was even worse but likewise refused to elaborate.
• Jamie Fraley (22), of Gaston, North Carolina, told a friend over the phone at 1:30 a.m. 8 April that a male friend she did not identify was taking her to the hospital for the third time in 24 hours to seek treatment for a stomach flu. She never got to the hospital and was never seen or heard from again; two days later her discarded cell phone was found at a nearby intersection but it did not yield any useful evidence. Her fiancé's father, who lived nearby and had given her one of her rides to the hospital that day, was revealed to have been a person of interest in her disappearance two months later following his death from heatstroke after he locked himself in the trunk of an ex-girlfriend's car in what police believe was an attempt to ambush her.

• Russell Bohling (18), disappeared from the Bempton area of the East Riding of Yorkshire, England on 2 March 2010. His car was found in the car park for Bempton Cliffs RSPB site which has seen some suicides. The police assume suicide or tragic accident, though no body has been found. His family maintain that a third party was involved as he did not have enough fuel to drive to Bempton from his family home in West Ella, a USB stick detailing the pornographic artwork and graffiti left on the walls of the former bunker of RAF Bempton was missing and the trainers he supposedly wore that day were found in the family's holiday home even further up the coast after he had disappeared.

Extensive searches found only two decompression tanks that were placed incorrectly and filled with the wrong gases; no evidence of a body has been found in the spring.

Investigators found no evidence of activity on her part other than the suspicious Facebook messages since the day she was last seen.

• Rebecca Coriam (24), crew member aboard the cruise ship Disney Wonder, was last seen on 22 March, when a security camera in the crew lounge recorded her having an upsetting telephone conversation.

When she returned he was gone. Police found that the car had plenty of fuel left and worked as it should; they publicly expressed doubts about her story as she and the boy's father were getting divorced and she had just withdrawn from a mediated custody agreement that gave him visitation. The case was also noted to be similar to a recently aired episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit; investigators have even questioned whether Sky was in the car that morning at all. While police have indicated they could charge the mother with child endangerment, they have declined to do so due to those doubts.
• Ayla Reynolds (1), was not in her bed on the morning of 17 December.
