Don't Look Now

237 - Now You See Me... Now You Don't


Listen Later

In today's episode we discuss three separate cases of prominent citizens from the turn of the 20th Century that suddenly disappeared only to, possibly, reappear years later.  The first is William Cantelo, a British inventor and pub owner that vanished while developing a machine gun only to possibly reappear as an American inventor with the same idea.  The second is Dr. William Bates, a noted surgeon and ophthalmologist that vanished leaving his wife heartbroken, only to reappear years later as if nothing had happened and no real memory of the event.  The third is physicist Ettore Majorana, who vanished in 1938 after working on the discovery of the neutron.  He is thought to have possibly resurfaced years later in Venezuela under an assumed name.
