46. Sinéad O’Connor
Sinéad O’Connor, an Irish singer-songwriter, has been missing since May 15, 2016. O’Connor went for a bike ride around Wilmette, a Chicago suburb, at 6 a.m. on Sunday the 15th. County police issued a search warrant for O’Connor after receiving a tip that he had not returned home. O’Connor has struggled with depression in the past, and only a few days before her disappearance, she wrote a Facebook message to her son, “Nothing Compares 2 U.” O’Connor’s struggles to contact her 12-year-old son, Shane, for whom she was fighting for custody, were openly discussed in the note. Friends and family were concerned that O’Connor had taken her own life after she had been missing for more than 24 hours, as she had previously attempted suicide.
47. Jason Mewes
The struggles of actor Jason Mewes with substance abuse have been well-documented. Mewes failed to appear in court for a mandatory hearing following his arrest on heroin charges in 2001. A warrant was issued, and Mewes was discovered to be virtually untraceable. Jason Mewes reappeared in April 2003, appearing in a Freehold, New Jersey, courtroom to face charges. The star of Jay and Silent Bob was sentenced to several months of mandatory rehab by a judge. He was also placed on probation until 2005.
