How to Disappear Completely and Never Be Found

How to Disappear Completely and Never Be Found

"How to Disappear Completely and Never Be Found" is a book by Doug Richmond, originally released in 1985 [http://deuceofclubs.com/books/005inv.htm] , which is a how-to guide on starting a new identity, and has been described as "one of the odder self-help titles on the market" [http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4196/is_19970803/ai_n10349858] . It has the subtitle "Planning a disappearance, arranging for new identification, finding work, establishing credit, pseudocide (creating the impression you're dead), and more." [http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Law/2005/07/07/1121276-sun.html] . The book recommends a method of disappearing by assuming the identity of a dead person with similar vital statistics and age, and also includes a section on avoiding paper trails which, due to the age of the book, may no longer be relevant or useful [http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4196/is_19970803/ai_n10349858] . The name of the Radiohead song "How to Disappear Completely" was inspired by this book.

A play inspired by the book was released in 2005 by Fin Kennedy, about a man wanting to disappear, which won the John Whiting Award [http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article734318.ece] .

There is also a children's mystery horror book, written by Sara Nickerson "How to Disappear Completely and Never Be Found" [http://www.kidsreads.com/reviews/0060297719.asp] [http://www.amazon.com/How-Disappear-Completely-Never-Found/dp/0064410277] , published by HarperCollins.
