10 Mysteries Involving Families Who Were Killed Or Disappeared

After blood was found in their home, a formal murder investigation was opened. Nothing came of the investigation, as Godard and his children were still missing. Personal effects started washing ashore: clothing, Yves and Marie-France Godard’s driver’s licenses, and a hammer, among other things.

Then, in June 2000, fishermen dredged up Camille’s skull. Five years later, Godard’s femur was found about 43 miles off the coast of Northern France. The bodies of Marie-France and Marius have never been found.

Investigators theorized Godard killed his wife at their home and took the children onboard the ship, which he planned to sink. Some believed Godard had an accomplice who helped get rid of the family’s personal belongings to make it look like they had died in an accident.

Two Brothers Vanished In North Carolina’s Oldest Missing Person’s Case
Alan and Terry Westerfield, 6 and 11 years old at the time of their disappearance, were two average kids in 1964 North Carolina. They loved riding bikes and going to the movies. One day, the boys’ stepfather dropped them off at the movie theater, but when he went back to pick them up, they were nowhere to be found.

Nothing has ever been found from the Westerfields. Search efforts were hampered in the first couple of days due to a hurricane, and it is presumed the boys are dead. Numerous conflicting reports also made it difficult to pinpoint any suspects. Some people believe the stepfather murdered the boys and that they never reached the theater. However, some employees said they saw the boys there, while others said they never saw them that day. With no firm evidence either way, this case remains unsolved.
