1. Kyron Horman (7.y)
An American schoolboy, disappeared from his school in northwestern Portland, Oregon. Multiple searches that began on 4 June 2010 have uncovered no evidence of his fate.
Key points
Lyle (78) and Marie (77) McCann, Canadian couple whose motor home was found burned in the woods near Edson, Alberta. One suspect was charged with first-degree murder in the death of the couple, but was later acquitted. Police still believe the couple is dead although their bodies have yet to be found.
2. Ben McDaniel (30)
Collierville, Tennessee, A recreational scuba diver last seen 58 feet (18 m) underwater being allowed into a cave he was not certified to enter at Vortex Spring near Ponce de Leon, Florida on the evening of August 18; his failure to return was not noted for another two days.
Extensive searches found only two decompression tanks that were placed wrongly and filled with the wrong gases; no body nor evidence that there was one has ever been found in the spring. While it is still possible his body is in an unexplored area of the cave, other theories include foul play, possibly related to the suspicious 2011 death of Vortex Spring’s owner, and a possible staged disappearance in the wake of McDaniel’s recent marital and financial failures.

A student at George Mason University in Virginia, was last heard from on January 29, when she called the restaurant she worked at to confirm her schedule for the next week. Her husband and a boyfriend both claim to have seen her that day as well.
Three weeks later, after Facebook messages from her to friends that seemed to them to have been written by someone else, she was reported missing. Investigators found no evidence of activity on her part other than the suspicious Facebook messages since the day she was last seen.
The boyfriend is considered a person of interest in the case; he has since been arrested on an attempted-murder charge in North Carolina after a domestic incident with a later girlfriend who claims he made statements suggesting he had some involvement in Decker’s disappearance.
6. Rebecca Coriam (24)
