10 GROUPS Who VANISHED Together And Were NEVER Found The Clues Don't Add Up

Most groups that go missing leave something behind. These ten left almost nothing: empty ships still sailing, a lighthouse with the lamps ready for a night that never came, aircraft that dropped off the radio, and five friends who never made it home from a basketball game. The ten cases, in order: the Kaz II, the catamaran found off Queensland with the engine running and a meal set out; the three Flannan Isles lighthouse keepers who vanished from a tiny Scottish island in 1900; Flying Tiger Line Flight 739, lost over the Pacific with 107 people aboard; the Mary Celeste, found sailing herself in 1872; the Carroll A. Deering, the schooner run aground at Cape Hatteras with no crew; the MV Joyita, the ship that would not sink while all 25 aboard were lost; the SS Marine Sulphur Queen and her 39 crew; the Lost Colony of Roanoke and the word CROATOAN; Flight 19, the five Navy bombers and the rescue plane that followed them; and the Yuba County Five, the friends whose car was found far up a mountain road.
