Disappearing Twice
Rico Harris. He was a massive 6′ 9″ former Harlem Globetrotter basketball player who had drug issues earlier in his life, but had made a full recovery and was getting his life back on track. He was driving along California’s Interstate I-5, from his home in Southern California to Seattle, to live with his girlfriend.
He was somewhere just north of Sacramento, exhausted, and told his girlfriend over the phone that he wanted to check out the mountains. All calls stopped since then. His car was found a couple days later by a patrolman near a rest stop in the mountains. A massive search was launched. No signs of him.
The strangest part? A driver later reported seeing a massive 6′ 9″ individual wandering down the highway, just a mile from where the car was found a week later.
A search was re-launched, massive size-17 footprints were found in the ground that were not there before, they were getting very close, and then… nothing. No trace, no body, nothing.
Where did Rico go the first time he disappeared? Where was he for an entire week? And where did he disappear to again? The fact that someone could disappear twice is what makes this so mystifying to me.
