Disappearance of Forrest Schab
Forrest 'DY' Schab, a Canadian rapper, was reportedly last seen in a Puerto Vallarta recording studio on November 18, 2010, while in Mexico for music collaborations. As of July 24, 2026, his disappearance remains unsolved, with new theories suggesting he may have been killed by the Hells Angels over unpaid debts and drugs. A 2014 blog post, allegedly from Schab's brother, claims he is alive and in hiding to start a new life, though this remains unconfirmed. Schab was 26 years old when his family officially reported him missing on November 18, 2010, three months after his initial disappearance, which contributed to a cold trail with no hotel records or credit card activity found.
