This thread is to discuss people who are missing that you feel are still alive. I have one off the top of my head that I want to put here.

First is Savanna Todd, who was just an infant when she was abducted by her mother. She is 17 years old now and has been missing since 1994. Since this is a family abduction I'm 99.999% sure that she is still alive and out there somewhere. Perhaps when she is an adult she will find out about her past. She probably knows nothing about her past, in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if her mother changed her name completely. She probably doesn't even know her real name is Savanna.

Jacqueline Vasquez, referred to in the Morgan Nick segment as Jacqueline Castaneda. Although this was a non-family abduction, she was just an infant at the time and probably was sold or kept by someone who wanted a baby. I think there is a very good chance she is still with us.

Marlene Santana could possibly still be alive. She was abducted in 1985 from the hospital by a woman who seemed to be "baby shopping" at the nursery window. When Marlene and her mom were discharged from the hospital after her birth, the kidnapper and accomplices were waiting for them.

Chance Wackerhagen. If his father, Dub, was responsible for killing his stepmom, then he would probably would have taken Chance with him to start a new life. If she was killed by someone else, then the odds of him still being alive are almost nil, but the majority of people do seem to think that Dub Wackerhagen did it.

It is also possible that some of the people with mental deficiencies who wandered off, like Gordon Page or Kristi Krebs, could still be alive somewhere, either living in an institution or as a transient.

Don't forgtr baby Shannon. Her mom was found at the bottom of lake and they never found the baby. She probably being raised by someone under a diffrent name. as well.

I was just about to post that. Definitely agreed.

Hmmm, well I think the majority of unsolved missing persons featured on UM are dead by now. Remember it's been almost 20 years since most of them went missing.

But, I've always thought Micheal Hughes survived, and is probably still alive.

Obviously any case involving a missing toddler and or infant I would tend to think is alive and the only reason they haven't surfaced was because of they really have no recollection of any incident and probably have lived normal, adjusted lives under a new identity. I agree that almost all others are unfortunately dead by now. But I always thought Gordon (the autistic man who went missing) was still alive...at least when the story aired the first time.

Sadly I feel that baby Shannon and Michael Hughes both met their horrible deaths at the hands of the evil men that took them.

I have to agree that Michael Hughes is likely dead. If you ever read the book "A Beautiful Child" you'll learn to what extents Franklin Floyd went as far as his abuse of Hughes' mother Sharon Marshall. After reading the book, I have little doubt that Floyd would've spared Michael's life.

As far as missing people that are still alive. Apparently Amy Bradley's family still believes she's alive and being held against her will in another country. In 2005 images were found on pornographic websites that Bradley's family believe to be her. So it is possible that she might still be alive somewhere in a foreign country.

Those claims are almost as outrageous as the pictures themselves.

To think a mentally stable woman would get kidnapped, then live for 15 years as a sex slave without trying to contact for help is crazy.

Amy Bradley, more then likely, fell off of the ship.

Most, if not all, of the family abduction cases I believe are solvable and each of the victims are alive (with the exception of Alexander Olive). I also believe several of the people with mental problems are still alive (ex. Patricia Carlton, who vanished in 1971 and found alive in 2004). If Ashley Freeman did kill her parents (which is unlikely) then she and Lauria are probably alive. However, it seems unlikely that she was responsible and that they were murdered.

The others I believe are alive:
Sabrian Aisenberg-I think she was probably kidnapped and is still alive.
Amy Bradley-I'm not sure, but the evidence that they have brought up may lead to her being alive. I don't think she fell overboard.
Jacqueline Castenada-She is probably being raised by her kidnappers.
John Cheek-He probably has amnesia and might be living in a homeless shelter.
Selena Edon-She probably has amnesia as well and is living somewhere.
Laurence Harding-He is likely an adult now living a normal life, unaware of his past.
Margie Jelovcic-I think she's with Randy Yager and is probably not in danger.
James Kimball-He's probably in a hospital or homeless shelter, unable to return to his family.
Kristi Krebs-She might have amnesia or is living somewhere without knowing her past.
Pat Meehan-She probably has amnesia or is running from the law.
Gordon Page-He probably is living in a hospital or homeless shelter, unaware of his past.
Star Palumbo-If all the stuff about the government is not true, she probably has amnesia.
Marlene Santana-She's probably an adult now with a family and unaware of her abduction.
Chance Wackerhagen-If his dad was the killer, he's probably either living with Dub or by himself.

All of the other missing persons, sadly, I believe are deceased.:(

Does it have to be someone featured on UM, or can we also discuss more recent cases?

Jacqueline Castaneda is most likely alive. Her mother made it WAY TOO EASY for her to be taken, leaving her outside of a porta potty like that.

As far as missing criminals, I think Richard Bocklage, Randall Utterback, Gloria Schulze and Ann Sigmin are likely to be alive.

I used to think Adam Emery is absolutely alive, but now I am not confident at all that he is alive or dead. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was either one (not a bold opinion, I know…)

As far as missing criminals, I think Richard Bocklage, Randall Utterback, Gloria Schulze and Ann Sigmin are likely to be alive.

I agree about Utterback and Schulze because there seems to be credible sightings of Schulze over the years and because it seems like there are multiple people supportive of him on various comment sections to this day. So it wouldn't be too hard to believe he's having people help him hide. I'm iffy on Bocklage because no one has seen him since 1980. I do think it's possible that while on the run, Garey Goff murdered Ann Sigmin and then came back and played up the whole "please turn yourself in Ann" angle.

Ok, I have to admit I never considered this before. You're right, his public pleas to her absolutely could have been BS.

I'll add one more to the list of people I think are still alive: Wadada. I think he left the US just after he attacked Sarah Beard, and never returned.

I guess I've always wondered about Curtis Pishon. Not sure if he'd still be alive today of course, but IMO the possibility exists that he may have survived his disappearance. And though I realize that she's officially been declared dead and added to the list of 9/11 casualties, in my mind there are still a lot of doubts and unanswered questions surrounding the disappearance of Sneha Philip. Of course the whole Post Secret thing has dogged her case for a lot of years, but I've never put much stock in it quite frankly.

Jim Kimball

(I hope)

I agree about Utterback and Schulze because there seems to be credible sightings of Schulze over the years

I hadn't heard that. If I'm Gloria Schulze, I'm not very stressed about the police ever finding me. And it really pains me to say that because I think she is scum and deserves punishment. But the law showed no interest in monitoring her drug tests right after she KILLED someone by drunk driving. If such little efforts were made in trying to find her in 1994, why I should believe it's a priority today?

Killing people while drunk driving still has that slap on the wrist mentality in regards to actual punishment.

The police strongly suspected that she was in the Minnesota area in the late 90's, and then California in the mid 2000's. I seem to remember she was connected to a Senator in the Minnesota area. I have no idea how they have never found her.

A Senator...:lol:. Her only connections involved her wealthy parents, who I'm sure used their money to keep her well hidden all these years. Maybe the parents had connections to the Senator?

But still, I have my doubts that she's even being looked for to any degree. So the money aspect might not matter. I hope I'm wrong.

1. I70 Killer yes i think he could still be out there but has new targets or is retired from killing

2. Christopher Dansby and the other baby missing from NYC

3. Gloria Schultz

4. Adam Emery

5. Angela Hammonds abductor but not Angela herself

6. Possibly Anthonette Cayedito but I’m really starting to have my doubts i think she is probably a Jane Doe in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas or Nevada

7. Timothy Coombs possibly but i have my doubts

8. Robert Fisher but again i have my doubts

9. Star Palumbo

10. JOHN LUTTER

Star Palumbo

I also believe it's entirely possible that she is still alive. She's probably totally unrecognizable now.

I would love to believe Star Palumbo was still alive. Unfortunately, I suspect she's an unclaimed Jane Doe. :(

Some of these people have been found, but some have been declared dead since this thread was started.

I still think Selena Edon is out there somewhere. I think about her from time to time, wondering where she is and if her family will ever know her whereabouts.

1. I70 Killer yes i think he could still be out there but has new targets or is retired from killing

My theory is that he's still alive but possibly locked up on other charges and he's never been officially linked to the I-70 murders.
