Cleo Smith
Now that the Cleo Smith case in Carnavon, Australia is over, I safely believe it can be added to the list.

Murder of Dru Sjodin
Why is this case listed as a suspected kidnapping? The text says: [she] seems to have been abducted on 22 November. What does that mean? Her main article (Murder of Dru Sjodin) says, in the lead, that she was abducted. And her main article also details a prosecution under the "Federal Kidnapping Act". Given all this, why is her case considered a "suspected kidnapping" for purposes of this article? Thanks. 32.209.69.132 (talk) 05:23, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Carlee Russell disappearance hoax
Re: Carlee Russell disappearance hoax. I added this. It was immediately removed. Why was it removed?

1. This has been in the news a lot recently, due to recent court decisions.

2. There is already a Wikipedia article about it.

3. The lead to the Wikipedia article states:  ''On July 13, 2023, American nursing student, Carlethia "Carlee" Nichole Russell (born 1997/1998) allegedly disappeared for 49 hours from her home in Hoover, Alabama, falsely reporting to police afterwards that she had been abducted. The story of her disappearance went viral on TikTok and other social media platforms. On July 24, Russell admitted that she had fabricated the story, and had not been abducted.''

4. This is no longer "alleged". She was convicted in court, today. Source:.

Putin
Shouldn't Vladimir Putin be on the list of mass abductions because of the mass child abductions in Ukraine? 94.110.131.252 (talk) 09:08, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
