Missing Persons: 13 Famous People Who Went Missing
Mark Sanford
South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford was once a well-respected Republican destined for a national office but that all changed in the summer of 2009. For six days, the married father of two disappeared. As speculation grew about his whereabouts and why the governor of a state would choose to go off the grid, Sanford’s spokesman said he was hiking on the Appalachian trails but that was far from the truth. Sanford was really in Argentina with his mistress whom he met back in 2001. His wife filed for divorce leaving Sanford to make an honest woman out of his Latina lover. In 2013, Sanford was elected to his old congressional seat.
