When did we stop saying someone “disappeared” and started saying they “went missing”? It just sounds kind of clumsy and wrong to me.

Yeah, I had to re-read that sentence a few times (and a few others) to figure out what the "journalist" was trying to say.
It was actually Vijay Kolluru, being quoted about his sister who was the mother of the victim.

When it's near the Potomac, the Tidal Basin, Canal or other bodies of water in or around DC we always say 'disappeared'.
The most notorious killer around here is the Water Intake system below Great Falls above Key Bridge. People like to get too near it and it sucks them under.
This disappearance took place near the Tidal Basin ~ hence, it's another disapperance ~

But he was also with a tourist group (of relatives) so he went missing because someone noticed he wasn't around. They should have suspected a 'disapperance' into the nearby bodies of water!
No doubt they were all shaken ~ just like that GONE!

It is racist to use three-syllable words.

I remember hearing “went missing” back when Sandra levy disappeared but not before. I wondered if it was a common phrase in DC, but I guess not.

If he was with a group someone should have heard a “splash”.

The capstone classes in J-School these days are “Torturing the English Language” and “Confounding Your Readers.”
To: Ditter
“Went missing” is used in British English. I think American journalists have adopted it to look hip, but it sounds like an affectation.
