Nobody truly disappears without a reason, whether it is in the spirit of foul play, a release from the pressure of life, or in the act of rage fuelled revenge, people don’t vanish from public life unless there is a motive lurking under the soil of the person’s existence in which leads to the art of murder being employed.
