Over the past six weeks, three of unfound's disappearances have been resolved.

Remains were located, and at this time there are no reasons to believe foul play is a factor.

Today, I take a look at these three similar but also different cases

to see how the resolutions can be applied to ones of the same

type because we have a ton of them. I'm Ed Dunsell and this is unfound.

Music is unfound.

I should state before I get too far into this that those now resolved disappearances are of Chance Engelbert, Jesse Farber,

and Zach Carey. I will get into the specifics of each, if you've forgotten, and the analysis

a bit later. But for now, I want to quickly explain why I decided to do this episode.

What I want you to take away from today is this. If you'll remember, recently on Unfound,

we covered the disappearance of Ian Rogers. The episode is called the easiest of the hardest.

And that term came from something I once wrote to friend of the podcast, Julia Cowley.

Why? Because cases where people go missing with vehicles are by any measure the easiest ones to bring to resolutions for reasons that I've explained over and over.

Well, then you might ask, well, then what is the next easiest of the hardest?

Well, at least what should be the next easiest of the hardest?

Well, I would answer disappearances like chances,

jesse's, and Zax. The odds of foul play are not high. These people go missing on foot.

The searches are usually done fairly quickly. There are no reasons to think these types of people are hiding from

anybody. The odds of them running off and starting new lives are very low. Yet we have many

like these in Unfounds catalog, and Namus has to have at least 5,000 on its list of both men and women. But you can't tell

because Namus doesn't provide enough details to know. How can this be? All the elements are there

to bring these cases to conclusions quickly. Yet many disappearances like these will never be solved.
