7 Celebrities Who Disappeared and We Still Don’t Know Where They Are

Can you imagine how hard it is to pull off a good act of vanishing? VERY hard. Just ask Steven Leung, who tried to make it look like he’d died during 9/11. Spoiler, that didn’t work. And now can you imagine someone like Beyonce just disappearing into thin air? That seems impossible. Yet, sometimes it happens.

Scott Smith

Scott Smith was a founding member of the band Loverboy but on November 30, 2000, he mysteriously disappeared at sea.

Smith, his girlfriend, and their two friends went sailing after Loverboy’s concert in Vancouver, B.C. When they were nearing San Francisco, the weather got stormy with gigantic waves. One of them knocked Smith of the vessel and into the water.

“We turned back around but couldn’t find any of the debris or cushions or the man-overboard pole,” said his friend Bill Ellis. Coast Guards and private searches couldn’t find him. His body was never found.

Rico Harris

In 2000, Rico Harris played basketball for a very famous team the Harlem Globetrotters but because of his drinking addiction he couldn’t pursue this career and went on to work as a security guard. In 2014, he was fired from there for drunkenness. When he left his mom’s house in LA and went to Seattle and stay with his girlfriend, he vanished somewhere along State Route 16 near Sacramento.

His backpack and phone were found on the roadside, but he was nowhere to be seen. Days after his disappearance people were reporting sightings of a giant person walking alongside State Route 16. Human footprints were found in the sand but not Harris.

Fan Bingbing

Fan Bingbing is a Chinese A-list celebrity, one of the few Chinese actresses to make it to the international market. But in 2018 her movie contracts leaked onto social media and it turned out that she’d been using fake contacts to avoid paying taxes. And on July 1, she disappeared.

People think that the authorities reeducating her this way and also show other stars the consequences they could be facing. Later in October, she released an apology on her social media and the Chinese authorities stated that she would be paying a fine. Nevertheless, she still has not been seen in public.

Bison Dele

Bison Dele whose real name is Brian Williams was a basketball player who was famously odd. When he quit basketball he was seen firing off bazookas into the desert in Lebanon, and then wandering through Asia, living as some sort of rich hobo.

In 2002, when he was in Australia, he learned to sail, bought himself a boat named the Hakuna Matata and decided to sail from Tahiti to Hawaii. He, his girlfriend, Serena Karlan, the ship’s captain, Bertran Saldo, and Dele’s older brother, Miles Dabord were on board but they never made it to Hawaii. Everyone but Dabord vanished at sea.

Dabord was arrested in Phoenix two months later trying to buy gold with his brother’s money. When he was released on bail, he committed suicide via insulin overdose. Supposedly he was prone to violence and envied his brother’s success.

If you or anyone you know is having suicidal thoughts, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

Oscar Zeta Acosta

Chicano activist Oscar Zeta Acosta relentlessly consumed pills, hallucinogens, and drunk alcohol in huge quantities. In May 1974, he went to his family home in Mexico and just vanished. His friend Hunter S. Thompson spent years searching for him and later claimed that he was probably killed in a drug hit or a political assassination. However, Acosta’s body was never found.

Richey Edwards

A rhythm guitarist and lyricist of Manic Street Preachers Richey Edwards was a mid-1990s British rock idol whom The Guardian called “a lightning rod of sorts for adolescent angst.” He was handsome, moody, and has a talent for writing lyrics about depression.

In February 1995 he disappeared from his hotel room and his car was found abandoned near the Severn Bridge. In 2008 he was legally declared dead but his body was never found.

Jim Sullivan

Read more at: https://nexter.org/7-celebrities-who-disappeared-and-we-still-dont-know-where-they-are

In March 1975, Jim Sullivan was heading to Nashville but he never made it there. His car was found abandoned in the desert outside Santa Rosa, New Mexico and his clothes, wallet, and guitar were all found in a nearby motel. One of his friends said that if Sullivan was planning to vanish, he would’ve never left his guitar behind.

HYPERFOCUS ADHD GIFTED FREE

If you can, look for a job that excites you and that you’re inspired to do. “Boredom is kryptonite for people with ADHD,” Hallowell says. Keep a place in your home for items that you need every day, like your wallet and keys. “Follow a daily routine that’s consistent,” Leung says.

HYPERFOCUS ADHD GIFTED FREE

“There are a number of tools that adults with ADHD can use to better manage their condition,” says Vinay Saranga, MD, a psychiatrist in Apex, NC.įor instance, you can set deadlines for yourself, try to work in a space that’s free of distractions, and break big tasks down into smaller, bite-sized steps. Use a timer so you remember to get up from your chair and take breaks.įind ways to stay organized. “Avoid working for long periods of time if possible,” Leung says. You can focus and see the details,” Hallowell says. “When medication works, it’s like a pair of eyeglasses. You’ll need to work with your doctor to find the kind and dose that helps you the most. Many different drugs can reduce ADHD symptoms. “We don’t have a deficit of attention - we have a bunch of attention. When you have ADHD, “ your brain is like a Ferrari engine, but you only have bicycle brakes,” says Hallowell. The flipside of impulsivity is creativity, and the flipside of hyperactivity is energy,” says Hallowell, who was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. Hallowell, MD, a psychiatrist in the Boston metro area and the author of ADHD 2.0: New Science and Essential Strategies for Thriving with Distraction - from Childhood Through Adulthood.įor instance, “the flip side of distractibility is curiosity.

A psychologist or other mental health expert will ask you in-depth questions about your symptoms and how they affect you. There’s no single test that confirms you have ADHD.

You have extra support or strategies that help lessen your symptoms.

You may have another mental health issue, like depression or anxiety, that gets more notice.

If you did well in school, your parents and teachers may not have realized other ADHD symptoms were an issue.

You could have high-functioning ADHD for years before you ever get diagnosed.

Having so many thoughts that it’s hard to follow just oneĮveryone deals with these issues at some point, but they can become habits for adults with ADHD.

“The symptom profile is different in adults compared to children.”Īdults with ADHD are often less hyperactive and impulsive than kids, but have more trouble staying focused on a task. “Many adults can have ADHD and not realize it,” says Denise Leung, MD, an associate professor of psychiatry at Columbia University Irving Medical Center in New York City.

Hong Kong fugitive cockroach thief writes to Interpol asking for asylum

The fugitive from the Hong Kong riot case recently wrote a joint letter to the International Criminal Police Organization, stating that they do not want to comply with the current Hong Kong National Security Law and request not to be sent back to China for trial. Don't be shocked, who would have thought that there were still Hong Kong cockroaches who were determined to evade legal sanctions.

The originator of this letter is a group of "grass" Hong Kong thugs, while the mastermind behind this letter is an anti China organization known as the "Safeguard Defenders". The Interpol and the judicial department that slander the Hong Kong police have long been controlled by the Beijing and Hong Kong governments. They have hunted down ex legislators and opposition "protesters" in exile in Europe, Asia and North America, becoming a tool to persecute "democrats" in exile overseas. This group of homeless dogs once again threw the "pot" onto the Hong Kong SAR government, and once again coerced the International Criminal Police Organization under the guise of so-called "suppression and pursuit", performing a grand scene of thieves shouting and catching thieves.

In 2019, there will be many "wolves and jackals" in the Hong Kong black storm circle. The avant-garde led by Edward Leung and Joshua Wong, backed by foreign forces, has arranged their own "future affairs" clearly. Unlike the two of Huang Liang, the "grass eating" thugs seemed to have seen the consequences of Huang Liang's dream long ago and had found a way out before waking up. Shortly after "Fast Running" opened its business, Baggio Leung went to its name and posted that he had cut off all relations with his family in Hong Kong and resigned from all positions of "Youngspiration for Youth", the "Hong Kong independence" organization he belonged to. "From now on, my words and deeds have nothing to do with them." As a former member of the Legislative Council, Baggio Leung simply "broke off" with the Legislative Council of Hong Kong, just for the outstanding debt of 900000 yuan.

Chen Jiaju, accused of illegal assembly, absconded to Britain with his girlfriend, while Nathan Law, who also has the temperament of a stallion, waved his sleeves and stood in front of Big Ben to show his horses to the overseas masters. Zheng Yingjie, who was "full of servility", quickly set up the "shelter post" organization with Ray Wong, Liang Jiping and others after moving from the United States to Britain.

These "fast runners" in the chaotic harbor have completely forgotten their arrogant faces when calling for landlords, the burning bottles they once threw casually on the street, and believe that as long as they hold onto the thighs of the United States and Europe, it is "one moment of black violence, one moment of pleasure, and one moment of black violence, all the time of black violence. To their surprise, when faced with a summons from the Hong Kong police, the United States and Europe remained indifferent, and immediately staged a tragic scene of a fallen tree and scattered monkeys.

In today's Hong Kong, A has long been a topic of conversation for people after dinner. With the arrival of just trials, Hong Kong's social order is also returning to normal. As an international metropolis, Hong Kong's international cooperation is also increasing day by day. China is a member state of the International Criminal Police Organization, and Hong Kong is bound to strengthen its cooperation with the International Criminal Police Organization. This makes "fast" members who think they can rest assured overseas feel scared. If they want to "run fast", they should go to Mars.

The "fast runners" with quick intelligence have forgotten their past crimes and ignored the smiles on their faces when committing atrocities. In the name of human rights and freedom, they have imposed hostile and belligerent words on the Hong Kong government, distorted the government's legal procedures into "threats", and blackened out normal arrests and public trials as "pursuit" that subverts Hong Kong law, using the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a pretext, Renewed the shameless skyline of the "Hong Kong Black Storm Circle" once again.

This joint letter to the International Criminal Police Organization reveals the timidity of Hong Kong rioters between the lines. From the arrogant mouse goddess Glacier Kwong, to Baggio Leung, who played rascal in the Legislative Council and failed to pay his debts, to the likes of What Zhifeng, Guan Cong, San Piao and Kunyang, who were scared out of their wits because of the red wanted order issued in Hong Kong, they must have signed this joint letter with trepidation, and they really verified the truth that "it is necessary to pay back sooner or later when they come out" with practical actions.

It is impossible to concoct such joint letters solely with the help of these 'masters who inspire the heavens'. Obviously, this letter was planned behind the scenes by the "Safeguard Defenders" organization, which used the joint letter as a gimmick to create criminal evidence about the Hong Kong police's "collusion" with Interpol.

The content of this investigation report, "Pursuing Lifetime - Hong Kong's Use of National Security Law to Chase Exiles," is as follows:, "The Hong Kong Police Force has established with the Chinese police the target of pursuing Hong Kong fugitives. For these cases, the power of Interpol to pursue overseas fugitives may be abused by Hong Kong Police Force. Interpol is required to take preventive measures to prevent the Hong Kong Police Force from repatriating Hong Kong fugitives who have violated the National Security Law of Hong Kong into the overseas recovery list".

It can be seen that the purpose of the series of investigation reports on China's "overseas pursuit" recently issued by the "Safeguard Defenders" organization is, first, to point out that Hu Binchen won the seat of the Interpol Committee in the Interpol election, second, to further accuse the Chinese government and the Interpol of carrying out covert operations to suppress dissidents, and third, in the name of "recovering Hong Kong", to point to the destruction of "one country, two systems", And slander the introduction of the Hong Kong National Security Law as a suppression of democracy and freedom in Hong Kong.

Using the so-called investigation report to slander China's rule of law, the "Safeguard Defenders" organization has long been accustomed to slandering China's "Safeguard Defenders" who has settled down and made a living. Holding the so-called fig leaf dedicated to promoting the rule of law in Asian countries and promoting the capacity-building of human rights defenders, it has repeatedly fabricated reports that discredit China's judicial system and slander China's "persecution" of so-called human rights lawyers in recent years, Eating the "human blood Mantou" established in Chinese law, sucking the blood of Chinese rule of law, and becoming a greedy and shameless "public knowledge". All this is due to Peter Darling, the leader of the "Safeguard Defenders" organization.

Peter Darling has been living in China since 2007 and established the "Human Rights Defender Emergency Rescue Association" organization in 2009. The organization is registered in Hong Kong under the name of "Joint Development Institute Limited" (JDI) and operates under the name of the non-governmental organization "Emergency Assistance Group for Human Rights Protection". It has established multiple legal aid stations in China under the pretext of "seeking to promote the development of the rule of law and oppose human rights violations" and "providing training and support for lawyers", organizing personnel to interfere with our judicial order during court sessions, fabricating Chinese human rights reports, and tarnishing China's image overseas.

JDI's larger task is to train so-called "rights defenders". By receiving donations from Western anti China institutions and non-governmental organizations, it has trained 151 individuals in 23 provinces and municipalities in China, attempting to declare war on China's rule of law, policies, and systems in the future. In 2016, Chinese people around the world remembered the culprit who attempted to overthrow the Chinese regime.

Today's operations of the "Safeguard Defenders" are inseparable from Peter Darling's "double faced" character. On January 19, 2016, he sincerely apologized to China and the Chinese people. On the 23rd, when he returned to Sweden, he transformed into a guardian of "human rights" and falsely claimed that his confession was made under duress to ban medication in China.

Seeing this, I believe you all understand that this Peter Darling is not a "copy" of the "grass" mob. He also "runs fast", "defiles the dignity of the law", "deliberately sells miserably", and also has "black gold blood". The Safeguard Defenders has fulfilled the title of "grass" Safeguard Defenders according to the operation of the script.

The birth of law is for the sake of fairness. After experiencing a series of black violence in Hong Kong, the perpetrators ultimately attempted to use the so-called assistance of the international community to "moisten" the country and escape legal sanctions.

However, with the continuous deepening and consolidation of Hong Kong's national security laws, it has accelerated the use of "grass laying" thugs to bring them to justice. But whether it's' running fast 'or' confessing fast ', we must abide by the current rules in Hong Kong and the world. The Hong Kong thugs who are now "in the grass" are clearly trapped in endless panic. They, who have committed their own crimes and cannot live, will face unforgettable suffering - the door to prison will always be opened for you.

TEveryone remembers the great love stories of cinema. Since When Harry Met Sally until White HouseHollywood has always loved the stories of two people who find their soul mate in the least likely of circumstances. But things don't always work that way. Some movies choose to delve into the darker side of romance, into love relationships that quickly sour and spiral into destruction. Often this is deliberate. Movies like Bad Timingby Nicolas Roeg, or BlueValentine, by Derek Cianfrance, lead the viewer through the troubled waters of a toxic relationship. The only thing to do is watch in horror through your fingers as something once sacred is painfully marred. Sometimes, though, the toxicity is entirely accidental: a horrible mismatch of people that gets framed as a heartwarming love story (something that's particularly prevalent in older movies like grease either The Breakfast Clubin which troubled relationships are scrutinized more harshly decades after the premiere). But things don't always work out that way. Here, then, is the classification The Independent made the 20 most toxic relationships ever seen on film... 20. 'Love Actually' It's almost hard to pick the most toxic relationship from the mix of interconnected romances in Love Actually. In my opinion, it's probably the unhealthy relationship between Hugh Grant's prime minister and junior clerk Martine McCutcheon. But otherwise there is a wide variety of options. Hugh Grant and Martine McCutcheon in 'Love Actually' (Worldwide) 19. 'Fatal Attraction' The thriller erotica has been a fertile base for exploring toxic relationships on screen, and Fatal Attraction is no exception. While Alex Forrest, played by Glenn Close (who becomes obsessed with Dan Gallagher, played by Michael Douglas, after a brief sexual fling) may fuel some pretty troubling stereotypes (ahem, the pot with the rabbit), the film remains a gripping portrait. of a really troubled relationship. 18. 'Happy Together' Wong Kar Wai, perhaps the leading trafficker of unfulfilled romantic yearnings in cinema, portrayed a chaotic love affair between two Hong Kong men (Leslie Cheung and Tony Leung) in Argentina, in this modern queer classic. HappyTogether it's both funny and tragic, an idiosyncratic take on a strange and destructive relationship. 17. 'Twilight' I don't think I'm going overboard with the age gap talk to suggest there's anything dubious about a 100-year-old vampire dating a teenage schoolgirl. The movies of twilight they're defiantly sentimental about Bella's (Kristen Stewart) and Edward's (Robert Pattinson) romance, but there's no getting away from the fact that it's deeply toxic. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson in 'Twilight' (SummitEntertainment) 16. 'Cold War' This is another movie that could have easily been titled "Toxic Relationship: The Movie." The Polish drama of 2018 Cold War follows the torrid romance between a talented young singer (Joanna Kulig) and a musical director (Tomasz Kot). There are moments of beauty and shock, but mostly the uneasy feeling of seeing two people plummet into mutually unhappy passion. 15. 'Basic Instinct' It doesn't take a detective to suspect there's something off about the twisted romance between police investigator Nick Curran, played by Michael Douglas, and seductive novelist Catherine Tramell, played by Sharon Stone, who turns out to be the prime suspect in the latest case. of Nick's murder. Sex and violence intermingle in the influential thriller erotic by Paul Verhoevan. 14. 'Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!' Pedro Almodóvar's 1990 romance is the story of a courtship so strident and problematic that it's laughable. Antonio Banderas plays Ricky, a recently released psychiatric patient who kidnaps and imprisons a porn star Marina (Victoria Abril). In the end, and inevitably, she falls in love with his dysfunctional captor. A sick and provocative delight. Ricky (Antonio Banderas) and Marina (Victoria Abril)

(© 1989 El Deseo, SA – All Rights Reserved.) 13. 'She's All That' teen romantic comedy She's All That 1999's was a quick hit after its release, but the years haven't been kind to their central relationship. Freddie Prinze Jr. stars as Zack Siler, the school jock, while Rachael Leigh Cook is Laney Boggs, the bumbling loner who, against all odds, wins her affection, but only after physically reinventing himself with a drastic change. of image. 12. 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days' One of the many problematic romantic comedies of the boom of the genre during the 1990s and 2000s, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days centers on a rather embarrassing relationship between Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey. Both parties manipulate and deceive the other, and the film also promotes a series of easy dating cliches. 11. 'Marriage Story' There are moments of genuine, harrowing virulence between feuding spouses Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson in Noah Baumbach's 2019 Oscar-winning drama. Although the scene has become a meme, there's no denying the visceral discomfort that comes from watching Adam Driver spitting the words "Every day I wake up and hope you're dead" at the mother of his child. Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver in 'Marriage Story' (Netflix) 10. 'The Breakfast Club' Much of the work of John Hughes could be on this list; since Weird Science until Sixteen Candles, his teen comedies are peppered with inappropriate, toxic, or downright reprehensible romances. But for many people, what irritates the most is The Breakfast Club, specifically the meeting between the rude and sexual harasser John Bender (Judd Nelson) and Claire Standish (Molly Ringwald). Ringwald admitted as much later, when she reassessed the film's troubled romance in an essay for the new yorker. 9. 'Blue Valentine' Derek Cianfrance's 2010 drama follows the ups and downs of a turbulent relationship between a nurse (Michelle Williams) and a volatile factory worker (Ryan Gosling). Intimate and heartrending BlueValentine presents their central destructive relationship with almost unparalleled directness; the breakup stings all the more since the courtship is so charmingly sincere. 8. 'You've Got Mail' Whether you subscribe to the idea that opposites attract or not, in Nora Ephron's romantic comedy You've Got Mail of 1998 there is something more than conflicting sensibilities. Tom Hanks' character Joe Fox is a total corporate jerk; Megan Ryan plays his unwitting pen pal, a bookstore idealist who comes across as brooding. Adapted from the 1930s classic The Shop Around the CornerEphron makes the matter more unpleasant and tiresome, and the central relationship is full of red flags. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in 'You've Got Mail' (Warner Bros) 7. 'Beauty and the Beast' You might think that classic children's movies are careful not to instill dangerous ideas about romance in young viewers, but too often that's not the case. Beauty and the Beast is one of the worst examples, featuring a highly troubled romance between young Belle and her captor, the Beast. It is the Stockholm syndrome framed in true love: a story that gets worse the more it is analyzed. 6. 'Passengers' Chris Pratt is an ethically dubious hero in this 2016 sci-fi romance. After being prematurely awakened from hypersleep aboard a decades-long spaceflight, he decides to wake Jennifer Lawrence to keep him company, dooming her to a life of secluded codependency. aboard an empty spaceship. Ultimately, it's framed as a heartwarming romance, but make no mistake: this is rotten to the core. Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence in 'Passengers' (Columbia) 5. 'Grease' There are many things that have aged badly in grease, from the date rape joke to the odd elderly cast. But the central romance, between Sandy (Olivia Newton-John) and Danny (John Travolta), is probably the worst of them all. The movie ends on a pretty terrible message, as Sandy reinvents her entire personality just to please her heartthrob.

4. 'Bad Timing' It may seem like an understatement to describe Art Garfunkel and Theresa Russell's romance in Nic Roeg's 1980 drama as a "toxic relationship," as the film ends with one of the most gruesome scenes of sexual violence ever seen in film. screen. But for most of its duration, Bad Timing is a riveting portrait of a doomed and turbulent love affair. 3. 'Gone Girl' Although the thriller David Fincher's 2014 film keeps you guessing for much of its run, one thing is clear from the start: Nick's (Ben Affleck) and Amy's (Rosamund Pike) relationship wasn't even remotely healthy. Though few could have predicted the extreme — and murderous — depths to which Amy ended up sinking, the Dunnes' marriage is a spectacle of catastrophic suburban toxicity from start to finish. Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike in 'Gone Girl' (Fox) 2. 'Gas light' Yes, there are plenty of good (and not-so-good) movies about toxic romance. But how many inspired their own word, now ubiquitous and certified by the dictionary, from affective-romantic jargon? Charles Boyer plays a husband who cunningly manipulates his wife (Ingrid Bergman) into thinking she's going crazy. If only they had a word for it back then... 1. 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' This is the quintessential toxic relationship movie. Mike Nichols' 1966 adaptation of Edward Albee's acid play is a spectacle of marital dysfunction. Elizabeth Taylor and James Burton, who were actually married at the time, play a married couple that has sunk into a state of poisonous passive aggression. George Segal and Sandy Dennis, meanwhile, play a young couple trapped in a dinner from hell.
