It’s a harsh reality that thousands of people are missing every year, and some even go unnoticed. But something that everybody notices is when a celebrity vanishes. Sometimes they turn out to be alive, sometimes some horrible fate has come upon them, and sometimes it turns out they’ve never been missed. However, there are a few rare instances of missing celebrities that have never been resolved. Was it foul play? Were the pressures of celebrity life too much for them? Are they still living under a new identity? Some may speculate, but these answers have often been long forgotten.
1. Theodosia Burr Alston
Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr sing a duo lullaby to their respective newborn children in Hamilton’s Broadway Sensation, titled “Dear Theodosia.” Later in the play, Philip, Hamilton’s son, died in a duel, but many people don’t know that Theodosia, Burr’s daughter, also had a grim end. She boarded a small boat at Georgetown Port in 1813 after her son’s death and was never seen again. It’s believed that her boat capsized in rough seas.
