The Missing Persons are a list of characters referenced in the Jungle Cruise. They are individuals who were passengers, employees and/or affiliates of the Jungle Navigation Company that went M.I.A. due to the company's corruption and gross-negligence.
Members[]
Board[]
A board in the Amazon River Base from 1938 lists boats and individuals who were lost while imploring those with information to contact the governor general's office. The names on this board are dark-humoured puns, most likely referencing the fates of those missing.
Individuals[]
In order of listing, the missing persons include:
- Al Belaite: A pun on, "I'll be late", seemingly referencing Al being fine but late.
- B.N. Eaton: A play on, "Being eaten", inferring that they have been killed and consumed.
- Emma Boylen: Emma Boylen is a play on, "Im'a boiling", referencing them being boiled alive I.E. in hot-springs or by cannibals (likely Trader Sam and/or his family).
- C.M. Cooken: A play on, "See 'em cooking" or, "See me cooking", referencing them being eaten by cannibals (again, most likely by Sam and/or his kin).
- Ilene Dover: Ilene Dover is a pun on, "I leaned over" referencing them falling out of a boat and into the water.
- Anne Fellen: Anne Fellen follows suit of Ilene Dover by being a play on "And fell in".
- Seaum Yett: A play on, "See 'em yet?" as if to ask guests if they found the missing persons.
- Albert Knott: Continues Seaum Yett with, "I'll bet not".
- Betty Dont: End the Seaum Yett/Albert Knott phrases with, "Bet 'ya don't" saying that those reading the board will never find the missing persons.
