It is said that each year around 800,000 people go missing as per the records, around the
world.
But if the unreported figures are added it might rise up to a tally of 1,300,000 missing
persons per year.
But keeping track of every commoner is impossible, in this busy world by people like us, who
are engrossed in their hectic life.
These people neither make into the breaking news nor do they have journalists swarming
around their apartment to get a glimpse of their mourning family members.
They are the people, who just add up to the tally and become a number in the records.
But when the person involved is worth millions of dollars it complicates the situation significantly.
9 Moe Jiwani Moe Jiwani went missing in May 2006, when
he left his mansion for Toronto where he had to do a business and did not return.
His family waited four days before reporting his disappearance to Halton Regional Police.
The Oakville hotelier has not been seen since last April when he was spotted at a Toronto
strip club.
Jiwani's Mercedes was found in the parking lot with his credit cards, identification
and cell phone inside.
On further investigation, it was found that Jiwani exhibited all the characteristics of
a heavy user of crack cocaine.
Although the police examined many accused, they could not get any leading clue and the
disappearance of this millionaire remains a mystery till date.
Private investigator Mark Mendelson, who was hired by Jiwani's family, says his investigation
has gone nowhere.
"It's at a standstill," he said.
Almost three months after Moe Jiwani disappeared, his wife was fleeced for $80,000 while attempting
to pay a ransom for her husband, which turned out to be a hoax perpetrated by acquaintances
of his.
The money was never recovered, and Jiwani's whereabouts remain a mystery.
8 Guma Aguiar Aguiar was last seen in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
at sunset on June 19, 2012.
Home surveillance video showed him leaving his private dock on southeast Tenth Street
alone aboard his 30-foot Jupiter center-console boat, the T.T. Zion; a neighbor saw the boat
speeding and leaving a large wake in the canals.
Aguiar passed through Port Everglades in four- and five-foot swells, jumping waves and moving
quickly.
No one was apparently following him.
Boating conditions that night were bad with thunderstorms in the area and 20-mile-per-hour
winds, and there was a small craft advisory in effect.
Aguiar traveled north along the coast of Fort Lauderdale and, about four miles offshore,
began having trouble steering.
The tie road that enabled his boat's twin outboard engines to work together was broken.
According to data retrieved later from the GPS and engines, the T.T. Zion sped up and
slowed down several times while its starboard engine was out of control, and both engines
suddenly stopped running at 7:54 p.m.
About six hours later, the unoccupied boat washed ashore on the beach near the Elbo Room
bar.
The navigation lights were on, the keys were in the ignition and the throttle controls
were in the forward position, but the engines weren't operating.
Aguiar's wallet, cellular phone and some clothes were aboard.
A two-day search by the Coast Guard, covering an area the size of Rhode Island, turned up
no sign of Aguiar.
If he accidentally fell overboard, his body was probably pulled north by the ocean current
while the easterly winds pushed the boat towards the coastline.
Aguiar was born in Brazil and moved to Florida as a young child.
He and his wife had four children.
He left behind a $100 million estate; he had made a fortune in oil and gas.
He was a practicing Jew with a Jewish mother and a Christian father, and split his time
living between the United States and Israel.
He was declared legally dead in January 2015 at the request of his wife and mother-in-law;
the petition said his death was an accidental drowning.
His body has never been found.
7 Steve Fossett Steve Fossett was a businessman who had made
his fortune in the stock market.
He was also an avid adventurer and sportsman who set no fewer than 116 world records in
flying, sailing, and ballooning.
He was the first person to fly solo around the world in a hot-air balloon, and made the
first solo nonstop journey around the world in an airplane.
At 63 years old, Fossett disappeared in September 2007 over the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California
during a solo flight, prompting what was called the largest and most complex search for a
single individual in US history.
Neither Fossett nor his plane were found, and Fossett was declared legally dead in February
2008.
In October of the same year, 13 months after his disappearance, the wreckage of Fossett's
plane was discovered by a hiker.
DNA tests proved the bones found on site belonged to Steve Fossett.
He had collided head-on with a mountainside and died instantly.
Sixty of his world records were still standing when he disappeared.
6 Bob Harrod Bob Harrod was 81 years old and newly married
when he went missing from his home on Carnation Drive, Placentia, California on Monday, July
27th, 2009.
This multimillionaire had a fairy tale love story, as he managed to marry his sweetheart
after a separation of 59 years.
This was the time he was eagerly waiting for his newly wedded wife to return, who had gone
to her home at Missouri to finish her packing.
His son in law was the first one to find out that he was missing.
He was preparing for the arrival of his new wife, assisted by his son-in-law Jeff Michaels.
When Michaels returned from a trip into town to pick up supplies, he found Harrod's housekeeper
waiting outside the locked home.
His father-in-law was nowhere to be found.
Harrod's wallet and keys were gone, but his car was still parked in the driveway.
Though elderly and suffering from poor eyesight, Harrod did not have dementia or other medical
conditions that would explain erratic behavior.
There have been no attempts to access his bank account or credit cards.
Though Herrod was a multi-millionaire, nothing had been signed over to his new wife and she
had not yet been written into his will.
There had recently been a heated discussion with his daughters regarding money, as well
as concerns about him lending large amounts of money to a friend who was thought to be
taking advantage of the elderly man.
However, Harrod's friend, daughters, and son-in-law have all been cleared of suspicion.
The Police are still trying to find out about his whereabouts.
5 Kevin McGeever After being missing for eight months, an Irish
property tycoon was found wandering along a country road looking emaciated and confused.
Kevin McGeever, 68, told police that he had been abducted at gunpoint and held in a shipping
container.
However, his story started to unravel when he was questioned by police.
It eventually came out that he had been living in a remote area of the country and had concocted
the kidnapping story to escape financial pressures.
McGeever's business had collapsed, and he was suspected of running property frauds in
Dubai and Germany.
He apparently believed that his former clients would be hesitant to demand money from him,
as it might have implicated them in his kidnapping.
McGeever was arrested for wasting police time and making false allegations.
4 Leonid Rozhetskin This Jewish lawyer was born in Leningrad,
Soviet Union and emigrated with his mother to US when he was fourteen.
He was a brilliant student who received a scholarship to the Columbia University from
where he graduated with distinction.
He returned to Russia at the age of 26, as a lawyer and the owner of a law firm.
The owner of assets that can be estimated as "several hundred million dollars",
suddenly went missing under suspicious circumstances after disappearing from his villa in Jūrmala,
Latvia on March 16, 2008.
He was last seen on the day of his disappearance at a club called XXL.
There are various widely held views about his whereabouts.
While the Russians press claim that he is in California under the Federal Witness Protection
Program, a preliminary DNA test suggest that a body found in a forest near Jūrmala is
that of Rozhetskin.
3 Camilla "Cam" Lyman Camilla Lyman was a wealthy heiress; her parents
were old money Boston aristocrats.
She shared her father's passion for show dogs.
She was popular in the show dog world.
Her father Arthur died in 1968.
When her mother died five years later, her world seemed to fall apart.
Her behavior became more and more bizarre.
Starting in the mid-1970s, her sister Mary noticed that the estate was not being taken
care of properly.
Camilla became an eccentric recluse and spent more time with her dogs than she did with
people.
Her appearance began to change as well.
Between 1978 and 1985, she underwent a transformation to being a man, legally changing his name
to Cam Lyman.
Around 1981, he started to associate with a fellow dog owner named George O'Neil.
George was eventually hired by Cam, becoming the caretaker of his estate.
He took care of paying Cam's bills and arranged rides to dog shows.
Eventually, he became Cam's sole confident; he associated with no one else but O'Neil.
Cam vanished sometime in 1987; his disappearance was discovered when his relatives and friends
failed to receive Cam's customary Christmas card.
In December of 1988, his family contacted the police and reported Cam missing; they
also contacted the law firm in charge of the Lyman trust.
They hired Charles Allen to investigate the disappearance.
Allen discovered that O'Neil had been depositing Cam's trust fund checks.
He was surprised to find that O'Neil held Cam's power of attorney.
He was also Cam's sole beneficiary and stood to inherit his estate.
O'Neil was asked about Cam, who was not concerned about the disappearance, claiming that he
had done it before.
He also claimed that in July of 1987 he and Cam had an argument over the phone about the
dogs.
The next day, O'Neil went to Cam's house and found the phone ripped out of the wall and
the dogs unattended.
He never saw Cam again.
O'Neil claims he believed that Cam had gone to Europe to undergo a sex-change operation,
but gave no reason as to why he thought this or why he neglected to inform anybody about
Cam's disappearance.
Much of Cam's net worth, from bank accounts to family heirlooms, had disappeared.
This was between 3 and 5 million dollar.
In December of 1994, Cam's family asked the probate court to declare him legally dead.
The judge declared him dead in July of 1995.
The judge noted that she did not believe O'Neil was credible and was suspicious of him.
On September 24, 1997, Cam's remains were found inside the sewer system near her home
by Greg Siner, who had bought and lived in the house.
He located the remains after noticing a strange smell from the sewer.
Coincidentally, investigating were searching other parts of the property at that time.
In October of 1998, dental records confirmed that the remains belonged to Cam.
The medical examiner concluded that Cam had been murdered, probably around the time he
disappeared.
Cam's murder remains unsolved.
2 Don Lewis Don Lewis was a self-made millionaire and
a somewhat eccentric sort who would wear yard-sale clothing while carrying huge amounts of cash.
Lewis had made his money in real estate and trucking, as well as a number of other ventures.
He and his wife Carole had transformed 140 acres of land in Tampa, Florida into "Wildlife
on Easy Street," a sanctuary for 200 big cats.
In August 1997, Carole reported 60-year-old Don missing, and the following day his van
was found at an airport with the keys still inside.
It came to light that Lewis had filed for a domestic violence injunction against his
wife two months before his disappearance, alleging that she had threatened to shoot
him.
Lewis's three daughters from his first marriage believe that Carole is responsible, even suggesting
that police test the meat grinder at the sanctuary for human DNA.
His wife called the rumors ridiculous, saying "My tigers eat meat, they don't eat people."
She believes Lewis absconded to Costa Rica, where he owned property.
1 Ambrose Joseph Small Ambrose Joseph Small was a Canadian theatre
magnate, who owned theatres in several Ontario cities including the Grand Opera House in
Toronto, the Grand Opera House in Kingston, and the Grand Theatre in London, Ontario.
On December 1, 1919, Ambrose Small sold his theatrical holdings, at a profit of 1.7 million
canadian dollar.
On December 2, Small met with lawyer Flock in Small's office at the Grand Opera House.
Flock left at 5:30 p.m. and was the last person to see Small.
That night, Small disappeared from his office.
No one who testified for the police claims to have seen him leave his office, or in the
Adelaide and Yonge Street area, outside the building.
A newsstand operator, Ralph Savein claimed to have seen Small and had an altercation
with him regarding the late shipment of that day's newspapers.
At the time, however, this claim was repudiated by the police, who considered it to be an
attempt by Savein to gain fame from the case.
Small had no motive to disappear: the millionaire did not take money with him, nor was there
any ransom note, let alone evidence of kidnapping.
At 56 years old, Small owned theatres in seven Ontario cities and was the controller of 62
other buildings, a self-made millionaire at the height of his career.
Because Ambrose Small was known to "disappear" occasionally to womanize and carouse, his
disappearance was not reported nor was it really noticed for several weeks.
In January 1920, Small's attorney, Flock, along with Teresa Small, now alarmed by Small's
lengthy absence, notified the local police.
Teresa Small offered a $50,000 reward for any information about her husband's disappearance
and current whereabouts.
Small still disappeared and his body was never recovered.
Small's case remains unsolved.
