The fizzle on the news for a few days and then just disappear. There is no closure. Recall them here as they pop into your mind.
Like, that strongman dictator in Belarus is still in charge. There was coverage of protests, then nada.
Plague of locusts in East Africa. It’s still happening, but I suppose people’s minds were distracted by the other plague.
The hunt for the bear killer, and pro-bear demonstrations, in Ariège.
Some years ago, there was a TV programme about a bloke who had created an anti-gravity gyroscopic propulsion system, which he claimed could revolutionise aircraft engines.
I've never heard anything since then.
Didn't that just end up being Segways?

Eric Laithwaite?

Whatever happened to the sausage roll couple from some Teesside Morrisons?
See also the chap with the box that he claimed could project a "Man-made Ley Line". He talked up a global network of such things, used to navigate ships and aeroplanes.

What happened to the Edstone?
Or, more seriously, that drug trial gone wrong at Northwick Park hospital. Was all over the news (and IIRC damaged quite a lot of other trials' participation), but I don't remember learning what happened to the people involved.
What happened to tennis-ball-bonced svengali Dominic Cummings?
Doing dodgy big data stuff without the high profile, at a guess.
#14 There are a few articles out there. I vaguely knew the girlfriend of one of the men affected and they got married and had kids, but I don't know much more, other than he still has long terms effects.

In January 2016 two party officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Bloomberg News that the stone had been destroyed in the weeks following 7 May 2015, putting an end to eight months of speculation about its whereabouts.
I can't help picturing Milliband as a hapless Wile E. Coyote at the foot of a cliff, looking up and realising, too late, what that headstone is going to do.
