I went to Alcatraz one time and was asking one of the staff about this, he said they were 99% sure they'd died and the bodies swept to the Pacific, I don't suppose he had any particular axe to grind either;

Just watched that - it's quality

Where do they go? How can they just vanish as if they never even existed

Golden Gate jumpers. Why do people (and it’s been a helluva lot) just get up in the morning drive to the bridge and jump off without previously showing any signs of being suicidal.

Friend of mine did it a few months ago from a sunderland bridge, drove there, parked his car, jumped, total shock to everyone.
