#24: The Mysterious Disappearance of an Australian Prime Minister

In 1967, despite his confident swimming abilities, Australian Prime Minister Harold Holt disappeared while swimming at Cheviot Beach, Victoria. His fate remains a mystery despite a $500,000 search involving the Australian Army, Navy, and more.
