6. There's no body if you simply disappear

Wed Mar 8, 2023, 09:19 AM

Whereas murder would imply a corpse as proof.

It is generally assumed if one is disappeared they are dead, but they could be alive, enslaved, imprisoned, conscripted. No one knows, except the ones who made them disappear.

Families grieve in both cases, but a body gives closure whereas someone who simply disappeared causes families to have hope they are alive somewhere.
