The mysterious disappearance of Judge Joseph Force Crater. The vanishing acts of Agatha Christie, Sherwood Anderson and Aimee Semple McPherson. The lost adventurers~Colonel Percy Fawcett, Richard Halliburton, and George Leigh~Mallory. These famous cases and hundreds more make up best~selling author Jay Robert Nash's fascinating and fact~ filled Among the Missing, the most comprehensive book ever on the subject of missing persons. Along with the cases that made national and worldwide headlines, there are the exotic stories of infamous or until now obscure missing persons which read like captivating mystery, adventure, and sometimes science fiction tales. There is the case of New York heiress Dorothy Arnold, who vanished forever while crossing Fifth Avenue during a day of shopping. And David Lang, who, according to five eyewitnesses, evaporated into thin air on a Tennessee country road in 1880. Then there was Arthur Orton, who insisted until his last breath that he was Roger Charles Tichborne, the scion of one of England's oldest families, whose vast holdings brought him a million dollars a year until he mysteriously disappeared with the ship Bella in 1854. Some of those included in Among the Missing were victims of amnesia or insanity, and some said they were. Many were abducted out of vengeance or for riches they could bring. Others sought a new identity to escape crimes they had committed, or business and family ties that overwhelmed them. Scientists and military personnel were waylaid because of the special or dangerous knowledge they possessed. There were those who took unreasonable risks to preach the gospel. And then there is the Bermuda Triangle. The stories of those who returned from the world of the missing are often the most bizarre. Among the Missing contains all the elements of high human drama: love, vengeance, avarice, adventure, mystery, violence, sex, and murder. Jay Robert Nash, who has one of the largest private libraries in this country on crime and related subjects, has done a stunning job of research and investigation, compiling a huge, compelling, richly illustrated tableau to be savored piece by piece.

Nancy Dickerson (January 19, 1927 - October 18, 1997) was a pioneering American radio and television journalist. As famous as a celebrity and socialite as she was for her journalism, she later became an independent producer of documentaries. Dickerson got her break in 1954, when she was hired by CBS News's Washington bureau. She would also become associate producer of Face the Nation. In 1960, CBS made her its first female correspondent. She reported for NBC News from 1963 to 1970, covering all the pivotal stories: political conventions, election campaigns, inaugurations, Capitol Hill, and the White House. She is noted as being the first woman correspondent on the floor of a political convention. In 1963, she covered the 1963 March on Washington, in which Martin Luther King, Jr., delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. On February 22, 1962, she married industrialist C. Wyatt Dickerson, and they lived at "Merrywood," a 46-acre estate in McLean, Virginia throughout most of the marriage. Derived from a Kirkus review: Dickerson unabashedly enjoyed being among those present in the Capitol power hubs. As the first woman TV correspondent for CBS (later for NBC), she covered three Presidents, innumerable state dinners, news conferences and political campaigns. She came to know Washington grand dames like Alice Roosevelt Longworth anti Rose Kennedy. She does a smart precis on the 1960 Democratic Convention when JFK tendered Johnson the VP spot, hoping that he wouldn't accept. Watergate left her shocked, but it didn't sour her on "the system" which redeemed itself by expelling the President. Dickerson is fully conscious of the sex prejudice she encountered. She tells her stories with good-humored panache and, not incidentally, makes it clear that Nancy was a very sought after woman.
