Staff lost due to "Whereabouts Unknown"

[[ACPL] Jon]

A quick google and boards search shows that this has been asked a couple of times here and there, but for some reason there's no proper explanation anywhere. So I just "lost" an S staff member due to "infury or disease" (that's what the log said), but in the "former" tab the guy shows up as "whereabouts unknown". His morale \ loyalty was pretty high (so I guess he shouldn't desert \ AWOL, right?) and any PTSD \ injuried folks get treatment right away without me reassigning them and of course I'm long PAST the story mode.

I don't have a single troublemaker in any of my units. No GMP in the red.

So what the hell happened to the guy? Was he thrown into the sea by someone infiltrating my FOB? Or what? Because if that would be injuries \ sickness \ FOB raid killing him, there'd be a proper info (cause of death) in the "former staff" tab.

Reasons for death or leaving:

Troublemakers, Deployment missions, Incoming FOB raids. GMP, playing as a combat member without a direct contract and they get killed. Here's the one people always forget. You raid someone and injure them, but extract them. (Can also come from those you take on a successful infiltration) When they come out of the brig, they do not go directly to sickbay, they'll go to their unit and it's up to you to move them to sickbay. It's the #1 reason for unexplained deaths.

Damn... That explains alot...

Yes, I wish they went to sickbay, but they don't. I keep my "all staff" tab in Staff Management set to Sort by Health. Those sick or injured will always be on top, so you can just move whoever is injured to sickbay without looking for them. At least that works well. Sometimes I don't check for a while and someone dies, but anytime I see that I always go check to make sure there is nobody else that needs to go to sickbay.

I check my newbies daily and still - if they'd die because of injuries, it'd be listed in the "former" tab.

You're saying the MIA guy might've simply gone MIA \ AWOL during the Dispatch Mission?

To the best of my knowledge that doesn't happen, however, I could see something happening in the way of someone starting a mission where a staff member has been captured then aborting the mission or dying or somehow not completing the mission and that person becomes lost or MIA.
