Five people set out on journeys that would never reach their intended destinations. A British diplomat disappeared from a coaching inn in Prussia. An explorer and two companions vanished deep in the Amazon rainforest. An aviator and her navigator disappeared over the Pacific Ocean. An Italian physicist vanished during a ferry crossing between Palermo and Naples. And a famous bandleader disappeared aboard a military aircraft over the English Channel.
