[Ads-l] "disappear" as a transitive verb

[Andy Bach]

And after they've been disappeared (gmail non-transitively suggested
"after they've disappeared"), they are then "the disappeared" or "los
desaparecidos"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirty_War
These individuals who suddenly vanished are called los desaparecidos,
meaning "the missing ones" or "disappeared".
