Hello there 👋 I'm first
Love It WatchMojo.

89% of people dont want to be found
Let's not forget the Colombian children who survived on their own in the Amazon jungle for 40 days in 2023. One of them was just a baby! They belonged to a tribe and had been raised with survival skills.
Wow!
That was soooo sad! but, yet AMAZING how they survived after their mother died in the jungle. They lived because their Mom had taught them so much on how to survive, but even so it was more than difficult for anyone but especially children!!!!
The strength that these victims have is incredible. They may not think they are strong and are probably still struggling in ways, but they lived.
I'm late to the party but the most harrowing case that I know is Thadius Phillips.
In 1995, when he was 13 he was kidnapped by 17 year old Joseph Clark. Infamously known as The Baraboo Bone Breaker, Joseph kept Thadius in his home for 2 days torturing him by repeatedly breaking his leg, ankle, and hip bones.
When Joseph was out of the house, Thadius managed to crawl down the stairs and call 911.
The story is a really gruesome one but the fact that Thadius managed to make it out of that situation shows how resilient humans can really be.
That's an incredibly harrowing and disturbing story. Thadius Phillips' bravery and resilience in the face of such unimaginable horror is truly remarkable. It's stories like these that remind us of the strength of the human spirit and the importance of never giving up hope, even in the darkest of times. Thank you for sharing this powerful example of survival against all odds.
The last story. Stephen Stayner's brother, Cary Stayner, is the The Yosemite Serial Killer. He brutally killed a woman and 2 teens. He is on death row, San Quentin. A tragedy Stephen died a few short years after escaping.
He actually killed a 4th woman before being caught
I've always been haunted about that story. I saw the tv movie when it came out (which portrays his brother in Yosemite at the time of his return), then remember the news reporting his death, and then of course the killings. Knew the name right away, recalled the movie moment.
@@Avanell*I Know My First Name Is Steven* staring Corin Nemec! This is one of those miniseries that absolutely stuck with me through the years
@@NiKiMa023 Same here. There was another show based on true events that made me cry when they showed what happened to all...killer dad convinces 3 of his 4 sons to bust him out of jail, and they don't think he's that bad (but soon learn). James Spader, I think Erick Stoltz...and oh yeah...Lance Kerwin. A Killer in the Family.
@@Avanell Ohhhh I don’t know that one. I looked it up & it’s on YT!! I’m gonna check it out
It's sad to think somewhere in the world there are still many people missing. 😔
I miss Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack
Don't miss that creepy theme song😅
Me too, I like the Netflix version, but it's just not the same without him.
Loved that show😊
Full series is on Tubi
You can find it on Pluto
Rebecca is the best voice over to the point where I only watch videos she’s worked on 😭
I can agree
Definitely
I swear
She’s the queen of Mojo
my grandmother went missing for a couple hours. this was the early days of her dementia diagnosis and she had walked to the community pool without telling anyone, and then got lost on the way home in the neighborhood she had lived in for 40+ years. to this day i'm so happy she was found so i could have a couple more years with her.
The woman who kidnapped the girl in the thumbnail... can't believe she was actually released. Stole that girls entire childhood from her family. Horrific
Women always get less time than men do for the same crimes.. That's a known fact..
I can't believe Waldo didn't make the list.
I can’t believe the lack of love for this comment!😂
have they found him?
@@bun04y 😑
@@doctorfeelok8575 😂
I remember the Jayme Closs case. I have no idea how she didn’t break, but her bravery saw her through.
The Fritzl case is absolutely disgusting. I hope Elisabeth is doing better now. ❤
The guy who was found in the woods and decided to go back and live there again is the most relatable.
I know this is a serious video, but De Salazar just straight up going back into the woods and disappearing again made me laugh. Leave the poor guy alone!!!
The Steven Stainer story is beyond sad! He saved little Timmy. And his adjustment home was rough. He never recovered from what happened to him. Then Tragically passes away at 24. Then come to find out his brother was a serial killer. Just sad. I hope the family can find peace because I just can’t imagine.
I got a chance to talk to Bizzy Bone, man he’s such a beautiful and genuine man!
Fritzl should be first. No question about it. The case is absolutely insane

Lol thanks for this, so that I can watch separate videos on them.
Sadly, the boy that Steven Stayner saved passed away as well.
And his brother Casey turned out to be a serial killer. Nothing but tragedy for that family
And Steven's older brother became a spree killer. The Stayner family was absolutely destroyed three times.
@HartKent his brother's name is Cary Stayner. The story of that family is nothing but tragedy. I don't know how things ended up so badly for them, but it's absolutely horrible that one was an abducted person for 8 years, while the other turned into a serial killer. So crazy...
Steven and Timmy both have passed. Timmy became a police officer but then he got cancer. Steven's brother is incarcerated.
Steven passed away several years after being saved. He passed in a motorcycle accident.
One missing persons case I hope gets solved one day is a case in my home state of Michigan, which is the case of the three Skelton Brothers. Even though they may most likely be deceased, I hope their family gets closure one day.
That one still haunts me. It's just completely heartbreaking.
That the three Skelton brother case
I hope they find them. I'm from NW Ohio, and every year on the anniversary of them going missing, the news does a segment on them, and if there's been any updates.
There is one in my town of a woman who went missing a few years ago, my neighbors are suspects
Sadly it was when Amanda berry went missing that the case picked up … the other two seem to be “forgotten”
Actually Michelle Knight was never reported missing and Gina was kidnapped after Amanda.
Georgina was sometimes mentioned too. However it added to Ariel Castros sadism, he'd be sure to show the missing reports, just remind Michelle sshe was never mentioned as a 'no one cares about you' bit
So basically just start looking in Florida whenever someone goes missing.
2:53 “a SMALL territory called the Yukon” is actually a major territory that covers 5% of Canadas surface area
Came here to say this. Maybe they mean small in population?
The story of Kamiyah Mobley is similar to the story of the other baby that was kidnapped from the hospital. She was born in 1998 and a woman drove like 12 hours to Florida determined to get a baby (the back story for that is crazy) and that's where she went. The parents were teens and the lady went in there posed as a nurse and put Kamiyah in a tote bag and walked out. When Kamiyah was ready to work, she needed her legal info and that's when things all came out. The woman is in prison now. Her story was everywhere.
What’s also similar is that they both still loved their kidnapper and wanted to keep a good relationship with them.
@@1_star_reviews That too.
Kidnapping survivors are Steven Stayner, Carlina White, Kamiyah Mobley, Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, Shawn Hornbeck, Elizabeth Smart, Jaycee Lee Dugard and so many others!!
Imagine changing your name and choosing Mangina.
😂
It's like the McLovin of aliases 😆
I was wondering if I had misheard that
Scanned the Commemts for this one!! Like who would willingly Change their last name to Mangina?😂😂😂
😂😂😂 Ridiculous
Never knew that about Bizzy Bone! 😮😮😮
He told that story plenty of times
"A small territory called the Yukon." 🤣🤣🤣
What Ariel Castro did was evil... but there was a fourth woman in that house. People said they saw a woman crawling around in the backyard naked, and Castro killing himself may mean we will never know who that fourth woman was.
I was down the street the day amanda was found 😮 so crazy cause I remember seeing the missing posters on the busses for the girls when I was in hs.
Are they sure that she wasn’t one of the three girls that they found? Or the child that he had with Amanda Berry?
@@camrynbrewer2370, no. All three of them were questioned and he didn't let them out there for that. And the child was far too small. Supposedly, the description was of a grown woman, which means at the very least a female past puberty.
@@Panwere36Oh, I read the comment wrong, I didn’t realize you said “woman”. Thanks.
@@camrynbrewer2370, not a problem. Things like that happen.
I was maybe 2-4 years older than Elizabeth Smart went missing. I lived in the same state. Her healing and recovery from her tragic kidnapping has been as much a miracle as was her return.
"A small territory called the Yukon"? Really?
"pie shaped area"...you mean a cricle?
“Cricle”? You mean a circle? 😂
Dang. Imagine locking your child out of the house because it’s late and then they get kidnapped.
Scary
I love this I always wonder where all those missing ppl go
Steven Stayner's younger brother, Cary Anthony Stayner, is a serial killer known as the Yosemite Park Killer. Imagine being the parents.
This is amazing bc they all give hope that more missing people can be brought home.
30 people still doesn’t feel like enough.
Paul fronsac is such a fascinating case- I wish there was a documentary about it!
Thanks
Thank you so much for your support!
I hope more missing people are found. I would love for Morgan Nick to be found.
Who Morgan Nick, I hope Timmothy Pitzen is found or is safe
@@melissagrant4178 a girl who went missing in Arkansas
@@melissagrant4178 she’s a girl who went missing in Alma Arkansas
me too. i’m local to morgan’s case, and though i’m younger than her, i think about her daily.
Thank goodness they're found
This is so scary
Jaycee Duggards book is so heartbreaking.
Once I “mysteriously “ went missing and got found so I was coming from school and I went to this store that was near my school and stayed there for hours eating candy and messing up and then I finally went home where my parents were waiting for me and they were (obviously) mad because I was a minor and I just went missing and I got grounded for a few weeks but after about a week I got off for good behavior
im glad they were found
Oh wow
Nice watch mojo I really appreciate the 30 ads you guys put
“You look like you just someone’s brother in a storm drain!” Burger King
I honestly feel like the 1st story should be more well known. It's quite twists
I’m surprise the kamayah mobley story wasn’t on here. Her “mother” had to tell her and how she acted as a nurse and stole her baby
Elisabeth fritz case is heartbreaking. Her father abused her for many many years while she raised some children in the basement with her. They weren't allowed to leave. She had at least two other children she talked her father into raising upstairs with her mother. Her mother did EVERYTHING to find her daughter. Her daughter was right below her in the basement all those years. It was over 20 years or so?? Very sad case. The children had many health problems from lack of sunlight and others. Elisabeth did everything she could for them.
5years as a pow I don’t have enough words sir but I’m so sorry. I wish u the absolute best in life happiness n health all the rest of ur life🫡 I wish tht for all of our soldiers🫡💐
Pepper Ronique Smith
Her story is insane
That wax is clean AF tho
14:57 "Brennan has a mangina!"
IYKYK
Can you imagine doing a news story on someone who went missing and then that EXACT PERSON just casually strolls into your shot? 😂😂😂 That would be wild
steve stayner is a BOSS. so much respect for him. what a badass hero
🔥👑🔥THANKS
Steven Stayner lived in my town. As a matter of fact, we went to the same church. I sorta knew him. He was very quiet, but nice. I didn't know him well. I had heard of the movie and mom told me about him later. I don't know how he did it. I'd never leave the house again.
That one about the woman who spent eight days in her crashed car is insane. Just because they can trace her phone and everything seemed okay, doesn't mean they shouldn't look just to make sure.
THANK GOD for RFID tags!
There are some missing persons cases around here, but the cases haven’t been kept in the news or anything.
Right
Wait a minute, Natasha Ryan got married to her kidnapper?!?😯😮 please some one explain........ Cause that is what I heard.
Correct. She was a teenager and he was an adult, although I don't think he was much older. She ran away to be with her boyfriend; which isn't unusual for a teen. I'm not making excuses for her or him, as it was wrong, as she was a child and he was young himself. From what I've gathered, her parents had already told the boyfriend that they would put him in jail if he didn't leave her alone.
She stated that she eventually wanted to go home, but the more time passed, she felt like she couldn't. I guess all is well that ends well; they're still married.
Stockholm syndrome.
Rip Steven stayner 😢
I love these collections, but the unconnected film clips and royalty-free photos are distracting. I'd rather just see the story and what few newspaper pictures that are available.
I'm glad they were found considering most missing people aren't
Wait a second did the show Found take part of Busy Bonez life story and make an episode about it?
I knew that cleveland kidnapping waa gonna be on the list.
I wonder if Carlos was running from somebody?
I still watch unsolved mysteries and you should watch beyond belief show it’s good
I hope we see Summer Wells on a list like this one day.
Top 10 or 20 songs of Akcent, please! 😊😘😊
Whether he was their child by dna or not they raised him and loved him and needed him as much as he needed them❤❤❤
Elizabeth and Mary-Catherine’s parents must be fans of Pride and Prejudice 😂
Jonathan Mangina?! That's like the McLovin of aliases! 😉
Even though what he did was wrong, it sort of makes me happy to know Julian forgave his father for kidnapping him, since it sounds to me Bobby raised him to be an amazing young man. I’m sure the mother will come around too, cause she’s hopefully glad nothing bad happened to him and that he’s had an amazing life until he was found. I hope all of them are doing well now!
The Fronzack parents were not sure the boy they were given was theirs ,so they adopted him .
What about Jody Plauche?
Alicia Navarro is a recent case of a missing person who was found years later. Hers is a case that is a little more than baffling. She left home at 14/15, then walked into a police station states away from her home in Arizona when she was 18/19 to ask to be removed from the missing persons database. The guy she was with has been arrested for possession of CSAM, but not much else is known regarding the years she was gone, who she was with, etc. The family asked for privacy, so it's possible we may never know the full story.
Yep she walked into a cop shop near the Canada border in Montana days after her 18th birthday

I Know My Name Is Steven. Amazing movie
I went to the same school with Shawn hornbeck
It's so crazy my mom works for the school district in that area and some of her students said they played with him all the time not knowing who he was and that he was missing at the time.
How much more weren't found though
"Eventually found" is a stretch with the lady who was missing for aweek
Why was Kamiyah Mobley not on the list? Her story is more interesting then half of these story.
The resemblance ☠️☠️
17:47 Wait, what!? How am i just now finding out, 4 years later that this woman is an actress?? I thought she looked familar. WTF.
In Paul Fronczak' case, the mystery still has many loose ends. While they found the real Paul, they to this day don't know who was the woman that kidnapped him, and the man's discovery of his real identity as Jack Rosenthal brought up the question of what happened to his twin sister. It is known that the Rosenthal parents were very abusive and neglectful of both twins, who just disappeared one day, with the couple making up several excuses to family members about their absence. The bio parents are long dead, but we can safely conclude they abandoned toddler Jack, and what happened to Jill is still unknown. Paul (Jack still goes by Paul) is working with detectives to try and find his sister. He believes the bio parents may have killed her, either purposefully or in an accident, and abandoned him around the same time, as they couldn't explain one missing twin, but that it is still very possible she is alive somewhere. It has been 58 years since Jill Rosenthal disappeared, may she soon enough be found.
Yukon is not small
RIP Natasha Ryan.
Manjina? 🤔
2:45 Yukon is one of our 3 territories. You didn’t need to phrase it that badly. Also stop acting like people don’t know what Yukon is lmao. *Also* Yukon is huge wtf do you mean small?
Um, Barre Cox? Missing 1984-2000. Probably not in the Top 5, not not in the Top 30? Connie Chung would disagree ... she covered the story for CBS.
She was kidnapped twice? WTH
The little kids in the Amazon
He CHOSE the name Man-gina?? Bold.
I just watched a doc about stayners older brother that killed 3girls in Utah and actually dismembered one of them
