How to Disappear From Friends and Family

How to Disappear From Friends and Family






This is a tricky thing. In most cases, it is your friends and family that will involve the authorities in looking for you. As I have stated in previous posts, it is best to disappear legally and not involve the authorities. It is very hard to hide from the police. My suggestion is that you take a couple of legal steps to keep the police from even bothering to search for you.


When you have made all your plans and are ready to vanish, you should let your friends and family know you are simply leaving and wish to be left alone. You may not have the courage to tell them in person or over the phone, but that’s ok. There are other ways to leave messages behind. You can do a status update on Facebook for example. You won’t be using Facebook after you disappear anyways (Facebook makes you easy to track). Sending out multiple letters will work as well. These letters should be hand written. Hand written letters will obviously have your handwriting which is recognizable and adds authenticity to your claim that you are leaving and do not wish to be followed.


Make sure any letter or message you leave includes a statement to the fact that you are safe, and do not need help. This again will take away any reason for the police to search for you.


You will want to include at least some of the reasons you are leaving in any letter or message you leave behind. Again this will add authenticity to your claim that you have simply left and do not wish to be followed.


Another step to consider is to go directly to the police on your way out of town and tell them you are leaving. They can make a report that you are safe, and are under no more obligation to provide information of your whereabouts.






The next bit should be common sense, but we’ll talk about it anyways. Don’t go to the places you used to frequent. Don’t go out for a drink at your favorite bar. Don’t go work out at your old gym. Don’t pick up a pizza from the place you’ve been getting pizza every Friday for the past six years. Think about you habits and your hobbies and change them. This will help keep you out of reach. If you can afford to, quit your job and move out of town.


Now some of you may have been reading this because you are depressed, or something embarrassing has happened. If this is the case, just remember that learning how to vanish takes some time and planning if you are going to do it right. For some, it’s not easy to disappear and leave everything behind. Make sure that’s what you really want to do.

Is It Illegal To Fake Your Own Death?

Is It a Crime To Fake Your Own Death?


The simple answer is yes. I didn’t do world wide research, but I can tell you that in the U.S., the E.U., Canada and China, and in most of the “Western World” it is a crime to fake your own death. Most of the subversive activity that goes with it is a crime as well. You can get in a lot of trouble establishing a new identity under false pretences.

Article 4: Where to Go Internationally if You Want to Disappear

Let’s face it. Some places in the world are better to hide than others. Most local police forces in these countries are not going to be looking for you as a missing person unless you are high profile. Another fact to remember is that you will needs funds to get started if you are going to go to another country. The US beurocracy isn’t fast, but many countries move at a much slower pace. You can establish a new identity and get work, but it will take a while. Under the table work can also be hard to and in some other countries.

Here is another thing to remember. Try not to get involved with expatriates from your country. Expatriates often keep up with news and people from their country. That means that that might hear about you as a missing person, or be able to see flaws in your story. They might become suspicious and report you. As tempting as it might be to find people from your home nation and become friends when you are lonely, I suggest staying away.

First on the list Dublin Ireland – Ireland has a friendly pub culture that is hospitable and quick to make you feel at home. Just remember to have your story straight and stick to your story. Irelands economy is currently fairing better than most during the European recession. Ireland still has an influx of immigrants looking for work and you can be one of them. One warning about Ireland is the taxes. Ireland is not a great place to hide your money.

Italy – Can you think of a better place to start your new life. You can easily vanish in Italy. Italy is full of expatriates from all over the world, so you won’t stand out no matter where you are from. If you’re going to go legit, the taxes in Italy are not as oppressive as some other places in Europe, and the cost of living is inexpensive. Looking for work on the other hand would not be so easy. One job you could get in one of the larger cities would be to teach native English.



Cape Town South Africa – Cape Town moves at a slower pace than South Africa’ capitol city Johhannesburg. The cost of living is inexpensive as long as you’re not buying ocean front property. Crime has been and will continue to be a problem in Cape Town where there is a large descrepency between the haves and have nots. It’s a great international city where it is better not to stick out of the crowd.

Central America – I’m excluding Mexico from this part of the discusscion as Mexico is currently facing a lot of problems. Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Belize are all great places to relocate to. Did you know that most of the inhabitants of Belize speak English. All of these place have a relatively low tax rate and a low cost of living.

All in all, these are all places you could go if you want to get under the radar. As I’ve mentioned before, it is always better to get off the grid legally as opposed to illegally.

Article 3: Where to Go in the US if You Want to Disappear

I’m going to list some places you can go if you want to disappear along with the pros and cons associated with those places. We’ll talk about place in and outside the US. Whether you are searching for a place to hide inside or outside the US you want the place to fall into a couple of categories.

Transient cities are some of the best places to hide. Places where people move in and out and never stay in one place long. Here are some examples of places in the US that are transient:

Los Angeles – People move in and out of LA all the time. There is also a large immigrant community that can help you with resources. You can also find plenty of day labor there if you are in need of cash. Soup kitchens suck, but you can get a meal and make connections there. Another positive is an overwhelmed police force that will not waste too much resource searching for an out of state missing person.

Miami to West Palm Beach – This is one of the most transient areas in the US. There is constant immigration from overseas, tourists, and people who live there seasonally to get away from cold winter weather. No one knows your name, and they don’t even make eye contact. You can easily hide out in the open in Southeastern FL. A drawback to this area is high crime. You really have to be careful when trying to obtain resources for yourself. Another drawback is a very savvy and alert police force. You really need to stay away from illegal activity like fraudulent IDs. They are adept at noticing these and you can get in some serious trouble.

New York City – One of the best places in the world to hide in a crowd. You’re safer here just because of the sheer number of people. Day labor and other resources are within reach here as well. One of the biggest drawbacks is the weather. If things get rough here and you have to do a little urban camping, you can lose your life. It’s very cold in the winter, and the summers can be brutal as all that concrete and steel retains heat.



The Southern US border areas – These areas are transient and have lots of resources. You can also find quick travel out of these areas. The drawbacks include heavy surveillance. The US Border Patrol has received better technology, more staff, and more resources in general. This area is not recommended for border crossing. The terrain is dangerous and so are the people. And don’t forget the above mentioned surveillance.

Buffalo, Detroit and the Northern US border - These areas are not as transient, but the inhabitants are Yankees and less inclined to start a conversation with you. Let’s be honest about how things are in the US. The US/Canadian border is under a lot less scrutiny than the Southern border. That doesn’t mean that the northern border is asleep, but you can’t be careless and act like a fool either.

Article 2:  Pre-Planning and Understanding What You Will Face

Pre-Planning is essential in helping you decide whether to go or not to go. You will be facing many tough decisions. Like I said before, nothing about this is easy. You will have to give up a lot to gain your freedom.  Have you thought about losing your college degree? If you’re losing your identity, you’ll be losing your education.  This will limit your options when you look for work. You can learn how to vanish with your identity intact, but it’s not easy.

Keeping that sort of thing in mind, start planning your new identities story. You will need this just to fit in to the crowd. Think about what it will be like if you can’t answer simple questions about your self.

Another option is to not have a story and just stay tight lipped, but is that realistic? We humans are social characters. Most of us crave social interaction. You can give a lot of information away during getting to know you chit chat.  Pay attention to what you’re saying. Learn how to subtly control a conversation.

Now is a good time to mention an important tip. Do your planning on paper, and find a safe place to hide the papers. When you are done with the papers, destroy them.  Paper should always be burned in a safe place of course.

Start thinking about who will be looking for you , and how they will try to find you. Lets start with family. Chances are someone would be worried about you. They might (or probably would) call the police, hire a private investigator, contact the media, or a combination of all three. Consider having a cover story. A good cover story can make the police lose their motivation, or have no interest in looking for you at all.

By way of example, if you sent your family a letter that simply said you were leaving town and no longer wanted contact, you would be in much better shape than if you simply disappeared. The police search for missing people, not people that have stated they are leaving. The media doesn’t run stories about people who just leave. This would leave you with only a PI to deal with.

Keep in mind that the rules change if you have children under the age of 18. Especially if you are the primary bread winner. The police can and WILL hunt you down for abandonment and for child support. Keep in mind that the world isn’t fair. If you are a man who abandons his family, you will be searched for more aggressively than a woman who does the same.

Another step to take is to consider ways you can change your personal appearance. This is a great chance to consider who it is you want to be in your new life. You can look like, and be whoever you like. Consider purchasing some clothes that are out of character. Remember to keep any items you purchase to change your appearance out of sight sso you won’t raise suspicion. Make sure you also dispose of these items in a safe neutral place so you won’t leave any clues. Just remember that the most important thing is to blend in. Sticking out in a crowd increases you chances of being noticed by authorities.

A very important pre-planning step is to consider where you will go. Will you stay in the US (or what ever your country of origin is)? Can you afford, and will you go to another country? If so how will you hide your assets? Asset protection and identity protection are two very important goals for people of means.

How will you get there? Boarding a plane with your current ID isn’t going to be an option if you plan to move away untracked.  Think about good places to hide and good points of exit. We’ll discuss these points further in a later article. We’ll discuss the pros and cons of places to start your new identity. Use your imagination, and try to make this an adventure of sorts. It will make all the hard things you have to do easier.

Think about foreign language. Do you need to learn one to get by? Learning Spanish can help you if you’re going overseas, but it can also help in living in the fringe of society in the US as well.

How to Disappear, Step One

Article 1: Getting Started


It doesn’t matter who you are trying to hide from. The steps will be the same. There are only two differences. Are you going to escape with money, or with out? We will discuss ways to hide your money, and protect your assets much later.


The first step is mental. Prepare to cut your ties. If you are planning to disappear and not be found, you will have to give up all of your personal and professional ties. You will have to give up any personal belongings that can help you be tracked or identified. We’ll get more detailed later, but you need start asking yourself if you can live without these things.


Are you prepared to live without your laptop, iPhone, or car? Can you leave your family and friends behind? All of them? You can’t trust a soul with the details of your disappearance. You can’t trust friends or family. You also can’t break down six months in to it and call them from a payphone just to say hi. We’ll be talking about electronic surveillance later. Lets just say you will reveal your location if you’re not careful. We’ll also talk about ways to make calls that are harder to be tracked later.


Begin to understand and accept that you will be lonely and alone for a significant amount of time. At the start of this adventure you will have to be on the move. Even if you disappear with a certain amount of your money you will have to live on the fringe and not spend money in a way that will attract attention to yourself.


If you are not able to disappear with funds you need to be prepared to wait tables or do odd jobs. This will not be glamorous or easy work. I don’t know what you are doing for a living now, but you may have to accept this as a way of life for a time.






Stay crime free. If you are hiding from a criminal act or an obligation such as child support, you will get caught. The government will be actively looking for you. Any law you break will bring attention to yourself and can get you caught. The penalties for false identities have increased since September 11th 2001. Keep your nose clean or go to jail.


Did you think it was going to be easy? It won’t. In this day in age with nationwide media, electronic surveillance, and counter-terrorism activity, it is harder than ever to disappear. Keeping a low profile, and keeping your nose clean can help make it happen.


An additional note:


You may be trying to escape from an abusive relationship. If this is the case, there are groups out there to help you. These groups can hide you and give you food and shelter. I urge you to seek help from these groups instead of running away. It doesn’t matter if you are a man or a woman. If you take the kids and run, the police will be looking for you. You could be charged with kidnapping etc. Please seek help from professionals.
