Current Missing Students
This list below is compiled from Google alerts for
"Student Disappearance" and "Missing Student."
Savannah Pruitt 14 Year Old Missing
If you set your own Google alert, keep the wording simple, and short.
You will find cases of unexplained student disappearances from around the world.
A very few of the alert returns will have enough information
to show they are a Subliminal Distraction episode.
Some of the cases will be discovered to be from crime or accidents.
A large number are found disappearance suicides,
often with no warning or history of depression.
A number are never found.
Brian Shaffer(1), Maura Murray(2), Michael Negrete(3), Justin Gains(4) are examples.
A very long list of disappearances, disappearance suicides,
and unresolved cases, some more than 100 years old, is here.
A very small number recover, and return in altered mental states.
That last group holds the clue for what is happening.
It's a Subliminal Distraction episode caused by a little known
still-believed-harmless mental break design engineers discovered
in business offices in 1964.
Important to understand, this is not a theory.
Although a multi-billion dollar industry to prevent the "office worker"
mental event has developed since 1968, the design problem is
unknown by the public mental health services or research.
Chronic long-term Subliminal Distraction over weeks produces a more severe episode than is seen in offices.
The episodes typically happen during or just after a period of intense study
when incorrectly designed study, and computer use areas have the most use.
If this is the case, the study area, with something
that caused detectable movement in peripheral vision,
is still there in the living quarters.
Long hours on social media with detectable movement nearby in peripheral vision
copies the the situation of the "mental break causing design mistake"
engineers found and solved fifty years ago.
Examples of home computer use areas are here.
As each case below develops the cause will be revealed or eliminated
as a Subliminal Distraction episode.

October 2015 case - Remains found
Her remains were found in a drainage pipe in Chalamont Park in Little Rock near where police found her car October 2015.
Ebby vanished after phoning her bother saying she was in her car but didn't know where she was.
There is no current information about how far into the drainage pipe her body was found.
Was it so positioned that she had to crawl in to the pipe unassisted?
That might mean she died of positional asphyxiation.
There was another case of a soldier who stopped his car and vanished. He was discovered to have crawled into a drainage pipe. PTSD was blamed in his case.

Akshay Kamble
A
third year 20-year-old computer science student at the Indian Institute of
Technology-Kanpur (IIT-K), he has been missing since November 29.
The last family contact was a phone call saying he was boarding the Pushpak Express for Mumbai, and would be home the next day.
One of his phones was discovered with a "sweeper" at his hostel who said he found the sim card in a "dust bin" and Kamble gave him the phone.
Further questioning determined the sweeper had both sim cards.
Police determined Kamble hired an 'autorickshaw' to take him to the train station.
News accounts say he had been teased about his looks, attire, and regional accent in English.
The local news claims police started their investigation
20 days after he vanished.
His ATM card was left behind with Rs 10,000 withdrawn on the 29th.
The Mumbai Mirror reports he stopped attending class in August spending all his time on his computer.
The computer was left behind in his room. The accepted
procedure was to pack up everything and leave it in the warden's room for safe
keeping,

Erin Henry
Body Found - Ruled Suicide Dec 12
She vanished with no explanation after her roommate heard her in her room late at night.
Her
roommate last saw her at 9 or 10pm the night of Nov. 25th in her residence in
the 100 Block of Samoa Blvd, and heard her in her room about 11pm.
Erin has a broken ankle and cannot walk without crutches or assistance.
Her wallet, cell, and car were left behind. A "knee scooter" is missing.
Those elements of her story point to a Subliminal Distraction sudden onset fugue episode.
Concrete evidence would be her roommate reporting that her study or computer use engaged the "special circumstances" for visual subliminal distraction. Home computer examples.
Was there a mirror or TV in peripheral vision where she studied?
A story from the Eureka California Times-Standard says that her body was found after 9 a.m on the east side of U.S. Highway 101 near Elephant Rock located just south of the Westhaven Drive exit. Early indications are that she had traveled about 13 miles to the site, and jumped shortly after she vanished. Additional information published Dec 12 says the death was a suicide.

on video to climb the rail and jump into the Baltic Sea from the Silja Serenade,
the 21 year old Portuguese finance and accounting major at Lisbon’s ISCTE

The search area is reported as 400 sq kilometers of freezing ocean. Searches have been scaled back from the original effort to find him.

Holly Clacy
Holly
left William de Ferrers school wearing her uniform 4pm on Monday.
Later that day her body was discovered in a woodland in Chelmsford, Essex.
The police statement is that the death is not being treated as suspicious.
That essentially says this was a suicide. An accident or foul play would have been mentioned.
Comments from teachers in The Sun story do not mention psychiatric complaints.
That suggests this was a sudden onset visual subliminal distraction event.
Was she active on social media? Where did she use her computer or phone?

Sai Prajwala
Found in Tirupati
After she was reported to have attempted suicide, Sia vanished for a few days.
She had taken a train from Secunderabad Railway Station to Tirupati with no explanation.
Before leaving Hyderabad Sai had written a letter to the state government demanding all Narayana Institutions be closed because administrations were harassing students about grades.
That suicide attempt plus the belief of persecution suggests she had a Subliminal Distraction episode causing the disappearance.
Update: She has been recovered alive. (The Hans India)

Nathan Ward Kocmond
Concussion six weeks ago blamed for depression and missing student.
Body found apparent suicide, 10/14/17
A 16 Year old Boy Scout vanished after having headaches and depression believed caused by a concussion six weeks earlier.
He left home to visit friends before a Scout meeting.
He didn't reach either destination.
His social media accounts had been deleted.
There was little taken when he left driving a silver 2011 Honda CRV,
with North Carolina tag PAH-3753
I cannot recall a case where depression was an outcome of a concussion.
A hiker discovered his body in Uwharrie National Forest, Montgomery County 60 miles northeast of Charlotte.

He left his Jawaharlal Nehru University hostel October 15, 2016
Biotechnology
grad student Najeeb got into a fight with other students and left. Police
say they discovered he hired a three wheeler to leave.
He had been in school only since August 1st.
His parents have been unable to get effective cooperation in searches for him.
The sudden violent confrontation with the disappearance suggests this was a Subliminal Distraction disappearance.
New articles, Oct 13, 2018 reveal that he had refused treatment at hospital the night of the altercation.
He continued to mumble "Mujhse galti ho gayi, mera ilaj chal raha hai (I have committed a mistake, I am under treatment.)” he also said “Agar meri maa JNU aa sakti hai, toh kya hospital nai aa sakti (If my mother can come to JNU, can’t she come to the hospital)?”
Those seeming incoherent statements addressed to no one, repeated, says he did have a subliminal distraction episode which probably caused the dispute and scuffle.
Missing now two years it is likely he had an accident while in the altered mental state or traveled a long distance away from the school.

Seventeen year old missing a week dived into path of truck.
Did you know Ethan?
Can you supply information on his study and computer use habits?
Use the Contact page.
Missing for a few days, the police report from the truck driver Oct. 2 said that at the last minute as the truck was passing him walking along the right side of S.R. 17 just south of its intersection with S.R. 328 in Martin, he suddenly, at the last minute, dove into the path of the truck.
Although bizarre, this is just one of many stories of sudden student disappearance and suicide.
There have been recoveries alive, and students have recovered, returned, in altered mental states.

Michael Nickelotte
Human remains found Friday 29th near Baton Rouge may be Michael.
His family has confirmed ID.
Michael was heard opening his room door then opening the outer dorm suite door about 1 AM September 18, 2017. He has not been seen since.
His ID, car keys, wallet, cell phone, and computer were left behind. His car was parked near the dorm building. Only a green mountain bike was missing.
This follows the typical pattern for a Subliminal Distraction episode disappearance.
This is not the first such disappearance from LSU. I wrote the school when Leslie Buford vanished after a dinner in New Orleans. Buford was found within three days wandering the French Quarter but news reports said he was too disturbed to return to LSU.
LSU apparently has done nothing to warn students about visual subliminal distraction.
In most cases a student having a light episode will spontaneously recover, and return. But that recovery will depend on the severity of the episode.
Ahmad Arain emailed home from Mexico six weeks after he vanished after leaving a bus on his way to a meeting at UCLA. He had walked to Mexico from Watts.

Nicholas Pratico
Affiliated with 12 New Jersey newspapers a website reports that Nick Pratico vanished with no warning just minutes after he was seen functioning normally on the Junior College surveillance video.
He was last seen at 3 PM September 20, at Mercer County Community College.
There was no access to a vehicle.
Additional information recently posted suggest he may have gone to Times Square in New York.
Police departments in New Jersey, and New York have been alerted.
A new site posted by a private investigator asks for information.
Update: Body found October 23. 2017 across the street from the college.

Ishrak Ahmed Fahim
A 20 year old McGill student in Canada, he vanished while out with friends on vacation back at home in Bangladesh.
A report in the Dhaka Tribune says he started walking toward home, turned around and went back to Star Kabab. He then walked into a camera blind spot, and did not return. That location was minutes away from his residence.
At home since June, he vanished August 26.
That time period, two months, is too long for a problem with his study area at school to have caused a Subliminal Distraction episode.
But he might have created an activity such as video game play to create exposure there.
On September 28, 2017 he is still reported missing.

Majid Nahes Al Otaibi
He is known to have boarded a flight from Nashville to Chicago.
West Kentucky University electrical engineering student Al Otaibi should have boarded a flight in Chicago to Abu Dhabi August 19.
He vanished. He did not board any plane from O’Hare Airport.
When a foreign visa student disappears the first thought is that they did not want to go home and took advantage of being in the US to vanish.

Sadekul Islam Milon
Found along a road after missing two months.
Jagannath University student Sadekul Islam Milon was found with missing memory about what happened to him.
Although denied by authorities the claim is that he was picked up from his home by police.
Classmates are making statements about his condition and lack of memory.
His missing memory is one factor to suggest he is a Subliminal Distraction victim.
The story about abduction may be a confabulation.
There is no report of anyone seeing him dropped blindfolded along the road.

Rupjyoti Das
Information Technology major, Assam University, he vanished May 16, 2017.
Did you know him?
Can you supply information about where and how he studied,
and used his computer?
Although
several sites carried the story there is little information about the
disappearance.
He lived in a rented house. His possessions, ATM card, laptop, cell, and money were locked inside.
The last report was that he was having a drink at a shop near his house in Silchar.
His last exam was on May 16, and his plans were to return home on May 22.
When his parents arrived to take him home they were unable to get into the house.
If he is a Subliminal Distraction fugue victim he could be anywhere he could travel without papers.
There are cases of these missing students being recovered when they tried to cross country borders without a passport.

Louis Gonick
UBC student got out of a cab at Stanley Park Sunday, April 16 and vanished.
The story that he simply got out of a cab and vanished suggests this is a Subliminal Distraction fugue episode.
I left a message on his Facebook page seeking contact with his friends.
The last post on the "Find Louis" site is dated May 6, at 21 days missing.
The last post on his personal Facebook page is dated April 13th.
He is an Ecudorian exchange student. Active in several Internet causes he would have been a heavy computer user.
The emergency turn off where he had the cab drop him is near the Lion's Gate Bridge.
One of the expressed concerns in news accounts is that he walked onto the bridge and jumped.

Michael Doherty
One week home from Duke, 20 year old junior mechanical engineering major, took a path through a wooded area
while walking about one mile home in the rain from a late-night party Saturday on Phyllis Street in Franklin.
His body has been found. The coroner stated he died of exposure.
He had abandoned his shoes, and shirt.
A Subliminal Distraction episode sometimes causes sensations of insects crawling on the skin.
Discarding clothing in inappropriate temperature conditions is often seen.
But without evidence that he created the "mental break causing design mistake" where he studied nothing can be concluded.
Friends said he appeared sober and coherent when he left walking. But he may have been drinking at the private party.
Searchers found his shirt, and one shoe, then found his other shoe beside a brook.
Scent dogs followed his trail through the woods to the end of Oak Street Extension in Franklin
News reports are that a body was found Saturday May 20. No other information is available.

Dakota James
Disappeared in January
Information on the TV show 'Smiley Face Killers' revealed that his body was not decomposed reflecting a long stay in the water. A dam's down stream gates were not open enough to allow his body to pass uninjured. There were no injuries to show a long water immersion and the passage through the dam's under water gates. Newly released autopsy photos show a neck and finger injuries appearing to suggest strangulation as the cause of death.
If he actually died closer to the time his body was discovered, where was he in the days he had been missing?
James vanished while walking home over a familiar path he
had taken many times before.
His family has disputed the coroner's evaluation that he died by accidental drowning.
There are other cases where the student vanished while crossing a bridge,
although there had been no history of depression, or mental illness.
In several other cases the student is known, or seen on video to have been alone. In this case James can be seen on video texting on his phone, walking alone.
His body was found down stream by a woman walking her dog.
If he was able to text while walking he could not have been intoxicated enough to accidentally get in the river.
Although it has been 4 months friends, or roommates could supply information about his study or computer use habits.
Cited as Gay, he might have associates who were in his rooms to tell where his computer was located.

High school freshman
The latest report on Monday May 29th is that she has been found and will travel back to Alabama.
She came home on Thursday afternoon, but vanished few hours later.
The information that would qualify this disappearance as a Subliminal Distraction episode is missing.
"She came to my room and took her glasses," Sharazad Alzaybak said at Sunday's press conference.
"She seemed normal. Like 15 minutes later, my husband came home, and she's missing."
One report states her phone is going to voice mail.
Early reports do not mention any distress as the cause of her disappearance.
That sudden disappearance is the only clue that might qualify this case as a Subliminal Distraction disappearance.
Sometimes parents withhold information because of embarrassment, or fear of group disparagement.
The first thought would normally be that someone picked her up by her arrangement.

Blaze Bernstein
Body found in shallow grave hidden in the brush at park.
News sources are reporting he was stabbed 11 times.
An arrest has been made.
It is not possible to separate deaths from accident or crime from fugue episodes in the first few days of a disappearance.
The Daily Mail is reporting
he texted a friend for a ride to
the park to meet a third person. After entering the park alone leaving his ride
by the car, he did not respond to the friend's text about where he was, so the
friend left.
Current reports are that he was found in a shallow grave, and the friend has been arrested for the homicide.
Bernstein left keys, wallet, credit cards and eyeglasses behind in his parents home.
Very little information is available since he was a student in Pennsylvania and the disappearance happened in Orange County California.

Mukul Jain
A second student has vanished from Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in New Delhi.
He has returned only saying he had gone to Patna for “a dip in the Ganga.”
That does not explain leaving his wallet & phone in the lab.
A
26-year-old Life Sciences student pursuing a Ph.D. is missing since he was last
seen going to a lab Monday, January 8th. His wallet and mobile phone were
left in the laboratory.
He is being reported as a IGNOU student who was being co-guided by a JNU professor and using JNU labs.
He was observed on CCTV leaving the campus just after 12 pm.
Police have said no foul play is suspected.
This is the second strange student disappearance from JNU.
There is a rumor he was having trouble with a relationship.
But why did he stop what he was doing, leave his wallet and phone to walk away?

Sophie Smith
Current belief by authorities based on CCTV sighting is that she went into the sea.
Authorities finally admitted she left a note for her family.
Searches have been scaled back.
First
stories picked up with my Google alert for missing students failed to mention
she left home at 3 am wearing only shorts and a vest in cold weather.
Information in news reports is skimpy. A recent problem is mentioned but not the nature of it or what she may have been observed to do recently. (unusual or bizarre behavior)
The Sun reports on Dec 28 that Sophie was being treated for severe anxiety and depression. Those are experimentally provable outcomes of Subliminal Distraction.
If she created the "special circumstances" for 'visual subliminal distraction' where she studied or used her computer/smart phone, that should be included in news releases. Only family will have information to show that. She lived/studied at home. (?)
There is a long list of these disappearances and there are recoveries even in dire circumstances. Subjects having this little-known believed-harmless episode may not experience cold. They can have hypothermia unaware of the cold.
A missing student experiencing a Subliminal Distraction episode is typically running away from hallucinated threats, beliefs, or unsolvable unbearable delusional situations. They may seek help from any stranger and give a confabulated reason for their fear. She might have full or partial amnesia.
Given that explanation her rescuer will not realize she is missing while having a confused episode. A single ride might transport her across the country.
She could be anywhere she could travel without documents. Recoveries have been made thousands of miles away.
If family can investigate and establish she is having a Subliminal Distraction episode that news will have more eyes looking for her across the country.
A spontaneous remission is possible. Ahmad Arain remembered his email address after six weeks in Mexico.
The manic or depressive episode remits when Subliminal Distraction exposure stops. But memories of hallucinated beliefs are believed as if they were real. She might hide from discovery.
This is a preventable problem. Design engineers discovered and solved it fifty years ago. Schools refuse to warn students. Scotland Yard and British authorities do not reply. The Lancet refused to publish a letter about it.
