Default From all of the UM Missing/Abducted Cases, Who Is Most Likely Still Alive?

If there is another thread like this, sorry! I was too lazy to search

There are quite a few UM Cases of people who are missing.. From all of the cases who do you think is still alive?

I'd say Selena Eaton. I think she just wanted to start a new life and thats exactly what she did.

All the other cases point to murder after abduction.

Renee Lamanna.

Regarding Selena Edon, I think she would have been found by now if she were still alive. I think it's been what, 25 years or so? Considering her physical and mental ailments, she's the type that would stick out in a crowd, and I sadly just can't see her alive at this point. Which is really unfortunate because she didn't at all deserve what happened to her with the motorcycle accident and everything.

That's true. She might have ended up on the streets for a while and then passed away.

I also think Lawerence Harding is still alive as well but has a new identity

Marlene Santana was my first thought upon seeing the thread title.

Interesting topic. While I firmly believe Jule Caylor killed Dottie, it also wouldn't surprise me if she were still alive and well today.

Agree on Selena Eaton.

In our forum's Leonard Dirickson thread, our posters uncovered these weird comments on ZabaSearch from someone who claimed that Leonard was still alive and living in Spokane and was urging him to contact his son:
http://www.zabasearch.com/messages/z...uery=Dirickson

I've always thought Leonard was dead, but this situation is just BIZARRE and I wouldn't be overly surprised if he turned out to be alive.

It's a controversial website which collects personal information from other databases, which means that you can type a person's name into the search engine and find out their contact info. From what I gathered, someone believes that Leonard Dirickson is alive and living in Washington state under a new identity and has been using Zabasearch to leave personal messages for "Leonard" and his family, urging Leonard to contact his sons (from what I gathered in the text, Leonard apparently had another son besides the one features on UM).

I honestly have no idea what to make of any of this.

You're not the only one Kryssy! I don't know what to make of that entire series of messages. Is the poster on the level, or just someone playing a cruel joke??

Regarding the OP's question, I've always believed it was possible that Jacqueline Castaneda was stolen by someone who wanted a baby but was unable to have one of their own. I've also always wondered about the Cynthia Anderson case. Someone posted a comment on the UM site raising the possibility that Anderson was taken into protective custody by LE. While it's impossible to know if the post has any credibility, it was thought provoking all the same.

I think there is a faint possibility that Antoinette Cayadito could still be alive, although, if she is, she probably hasn't had a very nice life.

I agree on Renee Lamanna, Marlene Santana, and Selena Edon.

I don't know what to make of Leonard Dirickson. I'm not highly optimistic on his being alive, but I'm not sure who'd want to kill him, nor do I really think he took his own life.

Regarding Lawrence Harding, I always thought it was possible (provided he was in fact the infant the woman who approached the porters was holding that day--and I believe he was) he was never told about his past, and was raised alongside the other children as their biological brother. I think he could've even watched that segment without ever connecting the dots.

The only adult missing person featured on UM that I believe could still be alive is Selena Edon. I do think Rogest Cain lived for awhile after he disappeared but has since passed away.

I think he's alive if you consider that he is missing. That is one of my fav threads.

I agree she could be alive. She seemed like a strong willed person before and after her accident. It is possible that she did not want to be found. But it doesn't necessarily solve the question of no one reporting her if they watched the show.
