1. Gia Fuda, an 18-year-old woman, went missing on July 24, 2020, after driving 60 miles to a rural area in Washington state. She was found nine days later, confused and with no memory of the past six days.
2. Tom Mezic, a 69-year-old hunter, disappeared on November 15, 2015, while hunting with friends in New York. Despite an extensive search, no signs of him were found, and the FBI's involvement in the case was unusual.
