Of the thousands of unsolved cases of missing and murdered people in the United States — and worldwide — a small number involve notorious and even famous people. It seems absurd that a celebrity can go missing, never to be found — and it’s absolutely mindblowing that there are celebrity murders that remain unsolved. Nonetheless, there are cases of famous people who have vanished without a trace, or whose murderers got away with it. The following list of cases highlight the unsolved murders and disappearances of celebrities.
Rico Harris: Missing
Harris was once famous for being a player for the Harlem Globetrotters, though this career was short lived due to a number of personal issues. The 37-year-old athlete disappeared in October 2014 after he was last seen by family after a brief visit. The circumstances of this man’s disappearance are confusing, which is why his case remains unsolved even as late as 2022.
Thelma Todd’s mysterious death
Thelma Todd was a sex symbol in the earliest days of Hollywood who had acted in several roles and became a bit of a socialite as well. So when she was discovered dead in her own car in December of 1935, people were shocked and heartbroken. The blonde beauty was only 29-year-old at the time of her death, which remains unsolved to this day. There have been a multitude of theories surrounding her unsolved death, but most people ascertain that Todd was murdered.
Where in the world is Connie Converse?
Connie Converse was a songwriter and musician during the 50s, 60s and 70s — until she mysteriously vanished one day in 1974. According to people who knew her, she had grown tired of fame and wanted to start her life over with a fresh start. She had just turned 50-year-old, and was not having a good time in her career by this point. Some people believe that Connie committed suicide after disappearing somewhere, but others have held onto hope that she followed through with plans to start her life over. If she did commit suicide, it’s strange that her remains have never been found over the course of the past 48 years. Nonetheless, it’s even stranger that she’d go missing for so long without ever coming forward. The disappearance of Connie Converse is a truly intriguing unsolved case of a missing celeb.
Was Natalie Wood murdered?
Hollywood actress Natalie Wood’s death was declared an “accidental drowning,” but is that really the truth? The details surrounding the death of Wood have been long-publicized and speculated on by numerous experts — both legitimate and armchair, alike. Her loved ones believe that someone threw her from the boat where she was partying with actors Robert Wagner and Christopher Walken. This remains an unsolved mystery in the eyes of most people, though her official cause of death is an accident.
Notable mentions

Amelia Earhart, Jimmy Hoffa and Richey Edwards are also notable famous people who remain missing. Can you think of any other celebrities who are missing or the victims of unsolved murders?
