On this day in 1939, after being missing for almost 9 years, New York Judge Joseph Force Crater was declared legally dead. The judge's disappearance became a huge news story in the USA, not least because there was no apparent motive as to why he might want to disappear or indeed for his murder and he seemed to be in high spirits when he was last seen. The case holds a similar place in American popular culture to Lord Lucan’s disappearance in the UK. More info on this unusual missing person’s case can be found on the associated Wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Force_Crater), which I do suggest you check out after reading today’s Fortean Zoology news on account of it being quite interesting.
And now, the news:

(Yes, it’s a bit of a predictable pun or play on words today but let’s be honest; the alternative would be a ‘Meet the Beatles’ pun and that would be far, far, worse.…)
