In this day and age of modern technology and surveillance monitoring almost every detail of our lives, it seems inconceivable that something or someone could just disappear off the face of the Earth.
Vanished (also known as Mysteries of the Missing), hosted by Lost star Terry O'Quinn, pursues plausible explanations to some of the most infamous disappearances of all time.
Using state-of-the-art methods and the latest science, the programme examines the facts on the ground, official investigations, and competing theories in search of the most plausible explanation.
The first episode chronicles the biggest aviation mystery of the 21st century, Malaysian Airlines Flight 370, and attempt to determine how something so closely monitored could simply vanish.
The series features other prominent vanishing acts including the three Alcatraz escapees who managed to flee the island fortress in 1962; and the Lost Roanoke Colony in North Carolina, which was featured on the horror anthology series American Horror Story.
Other episodes include the unexplained cause of a 1908 explosion in an extremely remote part of Siberia that is said to have been the equivalent of a thousand atom bombs; and the notorious Bermuda triangle, among others.
