Remi Milligan’s disappearance: what really happened 

Remi Milligan disappeared on 10th July 2006. He’d stepped out to watch a film at the cinema, and never came back. He was presumed dead a few months later. However, we think he is still very much alive, that he faked his own disappearance and that he will return eventually. We’ve researched heavily into his life and analysed his interviews and films and have come up with the unshakable evidence below:

1. Milligan wrote his Will shortly after the accident that put him in a wheelchair in 2002. This may seem like a logical move on his behalf (he’d come face-to-face with death, after all) but we think he had other intentions. We believe that by doing this he was actually forward-planning a financial contingency for himself, making sure that he could still access his own money once he disappeared. Because of course, once he’d been missing long enough, eventually he would be presumed dead and his bank accounts would be shut down. How did he do this? By giving all his money away to someone he trusted with his life so that he could come back and retrieve it, undetected. So, who is this beneficiary? Who knows. It could be anyone – his assistant, one of his ex-girlfriends, a trusted member of his cast or crew. The identity of the person – or people – in his Will was never disclosed.
   
   
2. There are no medical records of Milligan’s accident in 2001, which supposedly put him in a wheelchair. He turned up a few days later and his family and friends accepted that he was in crutches (later ‘developing’ into a condition whereby his legs stopped working altogether, hence the wheelchair) and on medication. At the time of the accident, Milligan refused a lift to the hospital or for an ambulance to be called, and instead put himself in a cab. Why? Furthermore, Milligan hadn’t told anybody which hospital he’d admitted himself to. As a result, he had no visitors at the hospital, no ‘witnesses’.
   
   
   
3. At the time of his disappearance, Milligan was on a wheelchair and taking ‘powerful’ prescription pain-killers, with limited mobility and in constant pain and discomfort. How far could he get, if that was really the case?
   
   
   
4. In Song and Dance in Guantanamo Bay, a musical Milligan released in 2002, during a song one of the characters sings the verse “My family thinks I am dead.” This can be interpreted as an allusion to his own family’s response to his eventual disappearance. Remi probably left plenty more Easter eggs of this kind in his films – we just haven’t found them all yet.
   
   
   
5. Last but certainly not least – where’s the body? And why has nobody come forward to say they saw him that night? Remi, by then on a wheelchair, was fairly conspicuous – surely someone saw him on the night of his disappearance.
