Richard Wayne Landers
Richard Wayne Landers was 5 years old at the time he was abducted by his paternal grandparents while he was living in Indiana. Authorities found him living with them in Minnesota 18 years later under the fake name of Michael Jeff Landers. But Landers didn’t see himself as a victim and defended his grandparents on Facebook.
Hiroo Onoda
During World War II, Hiroo Onoda was sent on an impossible mission to the Philippines. Most of his fellow soldiers were lost, but Onoda escaped into the foothills. In 1945, the war ended, but Onoda continued a guerilla campaign against the locals. Then, the Japanese government dropped leaflets over the area Onoda was in to let him know the war was over, but he thought it was a trick. Then, in 1974, a traveler named Norio Suzuki found him alive in Lubang Island, and Onoda was finally able to return to Japan as a war hero.
