10 Infamously Chilling Deaths And Disappearences

10. The Disappearance Of Ben McDaniel

On August 18, 2010, an amateur diver named Ben McDaniel descended into the water at Vortex Springs, a popular cave-diving site near Ponce de Leon, Florida. Ben left his wallet and a dive log in his pickup-truck in the parking lot. He never returned. After a day had passed, employees of the park contacted the police.

Vortex Springs had a deadly reputation; thirteen people had died there during the 1980s. Unlike the previous incidents, which had left bodies, Ben McDaniel simply disappeared. Several other divers had seen Ben descend into the cave, and recovery divers were able to locate some of his equipment left at the mouth of the cave, but found no trace of a body. 

The recovery teams searched the cave as deep as possible and even brought special equipment used to detect the presence of a decomposing body. Eventually they concluded that Ben was simply not in the cave.
