This list is for MPs who were working as police informants at the time they disappeared, or had done so in the relatively recent past. I wonder if I should automatically classify such individuals as “endangered missing”, as being a police informant certainly carries a risk, depending on who you’re informing on and for what. Also, a lot of police informants, even before they began information to the cops, were leading high-risk lifestyles: many of them get caught in criminal activity of their own and broker deals to get their charges reduced or dismissed by providing details on other people’s crimes.
There’s always the theory that the MP went into witness protection, but the problem with that is the witness almost always resurfaces to testify at the ensuing criminal trial(s), or at the trial(s) the police testifying saying they got the information from the MP and they’re now in witness protection.
Anyway, informants. Strange how so many of these are women, a much higher percentage than I would have expected.
