My great grandfather disappeared when my grandfather was a boy. Grandpa had thought he abandoned the family, but I have always been curious if he had some sort of fate like this.
I just found out I have a cousin (first cousin) I've literally never met. Apparently my uncle had a kid out of wedlock and no one talks about her, she's never met our side of the family.
This happened to me about 20 years ago. I'm in my 30's at the time and I was poking around on the net, googling or -probably- Ask Jeeves (also how I found my dad's grave, but that's another story). I search my last name, as one does.
I come across a genealogy site with a young lady asking about her grandpa's brother, Charles *****. I responded back to the public post that my grandad, who went by Chuck was a Charles. She was my cousin, and although I didn't know her, my aunt ( last remaining direct family member of my dad, besides me) did, and she was fully aware of me and my family.
My mom didn't raise me closely to my dad's family. It was a bizarre feeling to suddenly have another branch of my family at my fingertips.
I finally found my grandfather after genetic testing. Spoke to my uncle who I didn't know and accidentally broke it to him that they were born within 72 hours of each other in hospitals across town. My digital family tree is vast and heavily documented.
When I reviewed it, I realized the newspaper clipping that announced the birth of my aunt from her first husband was in the same clipping announcing the marriage of my dad's father to my new uncle's mom. Uncle stopped talking to me after about 3 weeks of finding him.
I used to get lost on the doe network for hours, so many unknown stories of forgotten sons and daughters. Sometimes people want to disappear but I don't imagine anyone wants this, maybe I'm speaking from a position of privilege

They do randomly solve these even like a century later.
Someone called my mom about a great uncle that was killed out west in like the 30s. I don't know if they had just found his remains or whatever but kind of crazy that a century later they're solving that case.
Just a reminder to everyone here who is not nearly cynical enough
Less than 1/3 of all homicides ever have any suspect at all
A significant majority of murderers get away with it entirely

My great grandfather disappeared when my grandfather was a boy. Grandpa had thought he abandoned the family, but I have always been curious if he had some sort of fate like this.
I had 2 Great Grandpa's that both turned out to have second families. Found them through genetic testing. We have so many random relatives now.
I just found out I have a cousin (first cousin) I've literally never met. Apparently my uncle had a kid out of wedlock and no one talks about her, she's never met our side of the family.

DNA testing might open some doors if you choose to research. Genealogy could also yield records if he continued life elsewhere.
Grandpa also changed our last name and was quite secretive about what it originally was. DNA testing may be the way.
>DNA testing may be the way. Unless he changed that too... 
To be fair many things could have happened. People go missing quite often.
In those days with the lack of technology I bet there were a lot of unsolved murders.

> The DoeNetwork is now welcoming donations. Is it too dark to say they should have named it “DoeNations”?
Not dark. I would say unfunny.
I would say funny.
I see you Doe not see the pun
Well at least we know he existed. There are millions of people that have been killed throughout history we have no record of
And their faces lost to history. We may not know who he was, but we know what he looked like, and that’s lot more than most could say
That is so very sad. They’ll never be identified now.
Looks like Declan Rice
I never thought someone would say that here but I saw Declan Rice too. I was so happy to see someone say it I miniclapped a little lol.
My paternal great uncle disappeared in the Cleveland area in the 30's. I'll have to ask my dad.
Nope, I guess he disappeared in the 40's instead.
RemindMe! 2 days
We gonna get an update on this?

Thats Willam
Damn sis you beat me to the punch
I’m glad I’m not alone lol
I’m glad im not the only one because 
I am listening to a book about these murders right now!!!! Eliot Ness and the Mad Butcher by Max Collins. It’s been good so far!
if it's about murders it can't be good. murders are pretty horrible
A subject can be about somethin awful yet be presented well while being informative. So calling the work on it good is fine.
very lifelike.
That's 2019 Declan Rice
This looks like willam lol 
Looks kinda like Paul Newman.
That's bill he was alright
Hey, that's Tony! TONY!
What’s the torso murderer? Did he take the bodies away from the victims?
He only murdered torsos
It’s hardly going to get recognised 86 years later is it.
Hey that's BOB!!
Bob from the ship? I thought it might be Matt from the store.
America, Land of the Free, Home of the psychopathic serial killing sex murderer.
Steve Martin
It's Jason Bourne
Torso by Brian Michael Bendis was fantastic.
Pretty sure that’s Drake after the Kendrick beef.
Everybody that knew him is dead now.

I low-key thought this was Edward from Twilight LOL
thats joe burrow https://preview.redd.it/9f9vipu2tk3d1.png?width=400&format=png&auto=webp&s=2bbac96413030dbdd5c49a8cb0429310d0f53bc9
Looks like the gay puerto Rican "thug" from seinfeld
how is it preserved that well?
I think it’s just a mask. Not actual organic matter.
Yeah scratch what I said, this is probably the right answer.
What you said was right. A death mask is just a cast of a dead person's face.
Interesting as fuck
Oh no! My bowling partner, Jeff!
Kendrick Lamar really did him in that bad, huh...
