Not a discussion thread but a chance for you to add disappearances that mystify you.

For example: Whatever happened to -

Japanese radiation
Chris Huhne's alleged driving offences
David Laws
Vera Lynn's brooch
The Big Society
Concerns about North Korea

Looside Literature - now that's a proper topic, Caliban

But if we start it, there'll be complaints, mark my words - there'll be complaints
