It’s often seen as a romantic idea for a loving
couple to run away and disappear, leaving
everything behind in order to start a new life
together. However, in real life, it rarely ever
works that way. Whenever you hear a story
about a couple disappearing together, it usually
happens under very sinister, mysterious
circumstances and only winds up causing
anguish for their loved ones. Here are ten
couples of various ages who simply vanished
without a trace one day and have not been
seen since.


10 Camden Sylvia & Michael Sullivan

54-year old Michael Sullivan and his 36-year
old girlfriend, Camden Sylvia, lived in a loft
together in Manhattan when they left to go
jogging on the evening of November 7, 1997.
When no one heard from them for several days,
Camden’s mother came to visit their loft. The
couple was not there and aside from their
running shoes, a pair of house keys and
Camden’s bag, all of their personal items had
been left behind. After they were reported
missing, suspicion immediately fell on their
landlord, Robert Rodriguez, who was reportedly
having financial problems at the time and
wanted to increase his tenants’ rent by an
exorbitant amount.
Rodriguez had threatened to turn off the
building’s heat if the tenants did not agree to
the rent increase, but on the day she
disappeared, Camden presented him with a
signed petition. The tenants all stated they
would withhold their rent payments if Rodriguez
followed through on his threat. Right after
Camden and Michael went missing, Rodriguez
would himself disappear for two weeks without
explanation, and he was later sentenced to six
years in prison for larceny, tax fraud and credit
card fraud. Rodriguez has since been released
and though rumours persist that he may have
been responsible for the disappearances, there
is no evidence to prove this and he has always
maintained his innocence. The whereabouts of
Michael Sullivan and Camden Sylvia are still
unknown.

9 Glen & Bessie Hyde
Glen and Bessie Hyde were a newlywed couple from Twin Falls, Idaho who decided to spend their honeymoon going on a rafting trip down the Green and Colorado Rivers in October 1928. On November 15, they stopped at the home of a photographer named Emory Kolb to restock supplies. Shortly after leaving Kolb’s property, they disappeared. In December, a rescue party found the Hydes’ abandoned boat on the river. The boat’s tow line had gotten caught on something underwater and while the scow was fully stocked with supplies and all the couple’s personal belongings, there was no sign of Glen or Bessie. Since Glen had refused to bring any life jackets on the trip, it was theorized that the couple had either drowned or attempted to hike out of the Grand Canyon and died in the woods. Over the years, however, their disappearance has been surrounded with urban legends involving murder. In 1971, a woman named Elizabeth Cutler claimed she was Bessie Hyde and that she had stabbed her husband to death before going off to start a new life. However, she later recanted this story. After Emory Kolb died, skeletal remains were found on his property with a bullet wound in the skull. These remains were initially believed to be Glen, but turned out to be someone else. After nearly 85 years, there is still no conclusive ending to the story of Glen and Bessie Hyde.

8 Edward & Stephania Andrews
On the evening of May 15, 1970, Edward and Stephania Andrews , a couple in their early sixties, were both attending a cocktail party at the Sheraton Hotel in Chicago. Other guests noticed that as the night wore on, Edward appeared to become ill. The manager of the underground parking garage claimed that Edward was staggering to his Oldsmobile before he left and that Stephania was crying and asking him not to drive home. Edward accidentally hit the garage door before exiting and he was last seen driving the wrong way down Michigan Avenue. Authorities initially theorized that Edward might have become disoriented and drove off a nearby bridge into the Chicago River. However, an extensive search of the water turned up no trace of the couple or their vehicle. In 1980, a full clean-up of the river produced twelve vehicles, but none of them were the Andrewses’ Oldsmobile. The case took a different turn in 1994 when an informant told police that Edward and Stephania had been murdered that night by gang members, who placed the couple’s bodies in their car and submerged it in a pond near Green Oaks. However, a search of the pond turned up nothing. After more than 40 years, it’s still unknown what happened to Edward and Stephania Andrews that night.

7 Christopher Mittendorf & Kristina Branum

On July 27, 2006, Christopher Mittendorf, a 21-
year resident of Hardin County, Tennessee, left
to go on a shopping trip with his 17-year old
fiancee, Kristina Branum. They were both living
with Christopher’s mother at the time. When
she returned to their apartment later that day,
she discovered that the couple had purchased
some new clothes, which were laid out on a
bed. However, Christopher and Kristina were
nowhere to be found.
Five days later, the couple’s car was found
abandoned in a rural area about 50-60 miles
away. One of their cell phones was left behind
inside and a witness claimed to have seen
them leaving the vehicle there before they
climbed into a white car, which drove away.
Christopher’s mother believes that one possible
suspect in the disappearance is a career
criminal named George Baugus. She claims to
have found a lock box inside her apartment
containing items which belonged to Baugus and
wonders if Christopher and Kristina might have
stolen them and made themselves a target.
However, Baugus was murdered by his wife in
2010 before any evidence could be found to link
him to the disappearances. Since that potential
lead has gone cold, no one has any idea what
could have happened to the young couple and
they remain missing.

6 Claude & Martha Sue Shelton
37-year old Claude Shelton and his 27-year old
wife, Martha Sue, lived with their three children
at a residence in a trailer park in Corbin,
Kentucky. On the evening of May 21, 1971, the
couple put their children to bed and then left
the trailer park in their Ford Galaxie. Neither the
Sheltons nor their car has ever been seen
again. No one believed that the couple would
have willingly abandoned their children, so
authorities were completely baffled about what
might have compelled them to drive away and
leave their kids alone in the middle of the night.
One of the Shelton children claimed they
overheard Claude asking Sue, “Are you going
with me or are you going to stay here?” before
hinting that they were going to drive to King’s
Truck Stop, which was five miles away.
However, authorities could not find anyone from
the truck stop who remembered seeing them
there that night. The Sheltons had also saved
up over $600, which they kept in a bowl in the
kitchen, but that money disappeared along with
them. Two months after the couple went
missing, the body of an unidentified woman
was found in Oregon which resembled Sue and
in 2009, DNA tests were performed to check for
a possible match. However, the body turned out
not to be her, so the fate of the Sheltons
remains a mystery.

5 Danielle Imbo & Richard Petrone
Danielle Imbo & Richard Petrone , a Philadelphia
couple in their mid-thirties, spent the evening of
February 19, 2005 having drinks with friends. At
around 11:30 PM, they left the establishment in
Richard’s Dodge Dakota pickup truck. After
that, they just seemed to vanish off the face of
the Earth. Since then, there has been no activity
on their bank accounts or credit cards and their
cell phones have remained turned off. Danielle
and Richard each had a child from a previous
relationship and it seemed unlikely that they
would just abandon them.
It was suspected that the couple might have
accidentally driven into the nearby Delaware
River, but while a search of the water turned up
several submerged vehicles, none of them were
Richard’s pickup truck. Authorities soon
investigated Danielle’s estranged husband, Joe
Imbo, who had allegedly exchanged threats
with Richard over the phone. In fact, Danielle
had also reportedly told Richard she wanted to
break up with him, though she still agreed to go
out with him on the night they disappeared. All
these suspicions have caused a lot of tension
between Danielle and Richard’s separate
families, though there is no evidence to suggest
foul play on anyone’s part. However, after eight
years, there is still no trace of Danielle Imbo,
Richard Petrone or their vehicle.

4 Hue Pham & Hue Tran
In May 2005, Hue Pham and Hue Tran , a retired Vietnamese-American couple who had been together 49 years, embarked on a seven-day Caribbean cruise on the Carnival Cruise Line ship, “Destiny”. They took their daughter, Sharon, and granddaughter along with them. At around midnight on May 8, Sharon received a phone call in her cabin, asking her to retrieve some items from the reception desk. They turned out to be her parents’ flip-flops and her mother’s purse. They had been found on a deck the couple liked to frequent, but there was no sign of them anywhere. Sharon immediately searched for her parents and informed the crew about their disappearance, but it took them hours to make an official announcement and inform the Coast Guard. The deck where the couple went missing overlooked a 70-foot drop into the ocean, but the ship continued on course and did not turn around to search the area where they could have fallen overboard. The cruise line suggested that they may have committed suicide, but their family did not believe that at all. Days later, the FBI finally conducted an investigation and while they ruled out suicide, they could also find no evidence of foul play. The Pham children have been highly critical of how Carnival Cruise Line has handled the disappearance and even testified before Congress about improving safety measures on cruise ships. However, they have yet to receive any answers about what really happened to their parents.

3 Mitchel Weiser & Bonita Bickwit

On July 27, 1973, 16-year old Mitchell Weiser
met his 15-year old girlfriend Bonita Bickwit at
her workplace in Narrowsburg, New York. They
planned to hitchhike to a concert festival 75
miles away in Watkins Glen. They were given a
short ride by a truck driver and were last seen
hitchhiking on State Route 97, but after that,
they disappeared and it’s unknown whether
they even made it to the concert. Authorities
initially suspected that the young couple ran
away together, but their families did not believe
this.
The case took an interesting turn in 2000 when
a witness named Allyn Smith came forward and
claimed that after the concert, he hitched a ride
on a Volkswagen bus and interacted with two
teenagers who may have been Mitchel and
Bonita. Smith said that when they stopped to
go swimming in a river, Bonita got into trouble
in the water and Mitchel dived in to save her.
After they were both swept away, the bus driver
apparently told Smith he would call the police
at the next available phone, but there is no
record of any call being made. While authorities
don’t discount Smith’s story, they do find it
strange that he made no attempt to help the
couple and waited 26 years to come forward.
Since there is no evidence to confirm if Smith’s
story is true, Mitchel and Bonita are still
officially considered missing.

2 Conor & Sheila Dwyer

One of the most baffling missing persons cases
in the history of Ireland occurred in 1991 when
an elderly couple named Conor and Sheila
Dwyer mysteriously vanished from the town of
Fermoy. The last confirmed sighting of them
was when they attended Mass at St. Patrick’s
church on April 30. After not hearing from them
for weeks, Sheila’s sister decided to visit the
couple’s home on May 18. When nobody
answered, she decided to notify the police.
They arrived and broke down the door, but
could find no sign of the Dwyers inside.
The Dwyers’ Toyota Cressida was nowhere to
be found, but their home was otherwise
completely normal. There were no signs of
struggle, robbery or forced entry. The house
was secure and all their personal items,
including their clothing and glasses, were still
there. The couples’ passports and over £1000
in cash were stashed in a tin. Curiously enough,
investigators found out that Conor Dwyer had
previously gone missing for a couple of years
sometime in the 1980s. He eventually returned,
but never provided any explanation about where
he had been. Unfortunately, history would not
repeat itself and Conor didn’t return this time
around. Authorities have not found any
evidence to suggest what might have happened
to the couple and 20 years later, this remains
one of Ireland’s strangest unsolved mysteries.

1 William & Margaret
Patterson
Sometime after the evening of March 5, 1957,
52-year old William Patterson and his 42-year
old wife, Margaret, vanished from their home in
El Paso, Texas. The couple’s vehicles had been
left behind, along with their cat and the house
seemed to be in disarray. It was initially
believed that they had left for Florida on an
extended vacation, but a neighbor finally
reported the Pattersons missing five months
later. The neighbor had been at the Patterson
home on the night of their disappearance and
said they seemed very upset.
A mysterious letter from William soon appeared,
providing specific instructions about how his
businesses and properties were to be
distributed to three of his employees.
Authorities suspected the note was not actually
written by William and one of these employees
was seen working on William’s boat at the
Patterson home right before they vanished. In
1984, a man who had been hired to clean the
Patterson home after their disappearance
claimed he found some blood under the water
heater and a piece of human scalp on the
boat’s propeller. He also saw one of the
aforementioned employees removing bloody
sheets and putting them in the trunk of his car,
but waited 27 years to tell police since he was
an illegal immigrant at the time. While there are
still no answers in the Pattersons’
disappearance, their old house still remains…
and is rumored to be haunted by their ghosts!
