This Missing 411 stuff, this is one of the best conspiracies. I get chills thinking about it, especially as someone who likes to spend a lot of time alone in the woods.
My best guess, and I have no hard evidence for it, is that the biggest factor involved is people who fall into caves or holes that are hard to see from the surface, and then never get out.
And then as Junion said, some of them are simply unprepared for the elements and then a storm rolls in unexpected, some are killed by serial killers or mountain men, or in rare cases wild animals.
The reason this topic really gets in your head though are those cases now and then that just don't add up, where you do get the sense that a child was being followed by some presence and snatched up as soon as they moved away from the group. There could be some X factor we don't understand here. But I think caves explain a lot of it.
