Read about Missing People, Mysterious Vanishings, Kidnappings and Cold Abduction Cases
The Girl on the Highway A little girl wakes up around 3:00 a.m. one stormy morning, packs her school bag, and leaves her sleeping family behind. She is later seen walking on the highway by two drivers. When one of them tries to stop and interrogate her, she runs off into the nearby bush, never to be seen again. Why did she leave home?
A Day Off A district attorney calls his girlfriend to inform her that he is taking the day off to take scenic drives and visit an antique shop. More than 12 hours later, he doesn’t call to report his whereabouts or even answer her messages. His car is later found in front of an antique shop with his car keys, laptop and wallet missing. He is nowhere to be found. More than 15 years later, investigators are still as confused as ever.

Hard pass on vol.2
If I had paid for this book, I would’ve been really disappointed, and asked for my first book refund. It has just two stories, both poorly written with terrible punctuation.
A brief excerpt from the second story; “Plus, the fishermen had plastered their prints all over its surface.”
It’s not their fault they hadn’t used CSI protocol to fish a random laptop from the river. I’m not quite sure why the writer feels using gloves is what the average person would do when finding something like that. Maybe that’s what he would’ve done? I doubt that very much.
Regardless, it really bothers me that he puts the blame on the good samaritans, and implies they’ve trashed evidence in the case. They didn’t HAVE to call the police to turn in a found laptop. They did the right thing, and this guy still has the nerve to throw blame at them for lack of evidence.
The laptop had been living in the river for quite some time. Fingerprints would’ve washed off the laptop anyway, so to point fingers and blame them is beyond ludicrous.
I will rarely, and I mean RARELY advise anyone to pass on a book, even if it’s “bad” or poorly written. Bad punctuation is really just annoying but livable when the story is good, or the writer has really great insights, or things of that nature. I’ll usually advise someone to add it to their list, dropping the priority, or maybe add it to the bottom; but add it all the same.
However, there are several books within the Kindle Unlimited library on strange/odd and unsolved disappearances.
Two stories, terrible punctuation, on top of really poor insights and the blame game?
If I could give it zero stars I would.

5 more mysterious disappearances will leave you perplexed
I really like this series of books. Some of them I have prior knowledge of; others are new to me. I would recommend this short read to anyone who is into mysteries and unexplained phenomena. This is about missing people. I am especially interested in the Ray Gricar case because that happened about an hour from my home and it was big news around here.
If you are a big reader, it will only take you about an hour to read this.
Again, as with the first book, I didn't give it five stars because there are grammatical errors and it could have been better edited.

Great read and intriguing!
I find it amazing how anyone can just up and vanish with no trace whatsoever, so that's why I enjoyed reading this volume. The first volume was good, too.

Stories too far-fetched like the writers are making it up.
