Disappeared

 Some pundits are saying that the Garcia fellow, that illegal from El Salvador, more recently from Maryland, was "disappeared" by the Trump administration.  Not likely.  We know exactly where he is, which is not a hallmark of being "disappeared".  If they were trying to "disappear" this fellow, it was truly inept. We know exactly where he is.

For a proper "disappearing", we can go back to Stalin, who knew how to "disappear" someone who crossed him.  Or Mao, or even Pol Pot.

Closer to home, we can go back to the 70s, when Louisiana Representative Hale Boggs disappeared on a campaign flight over the Alaskan wilderness. Some conspiracy theorists say that Boggs was lost because he was in a very public pissing contest with FBI director J. Edgar Hoover. Others think that he was simply a victim of 1970s aviation technology and the vast Alaskan wilderness.  Either way, he was never found. And, Louisiana reelected him, even though he wasn't declared dead until after the election.

I worked with a guy who was a Coast Guard crew chief on a C130 that was involved in the search. He mentioned many hours of flying and that they found other wrecks that had been missing for some time. The conclusion was that it went down in deep water!
