HN title diverges from article title, which I find is counterproductive on giving the reader a hint on what to expect. The real title of the article is "Former Canadian Diplomat Detained in China, Adding to Tensions".
I might be wrong, but to "disappear" to me means that it's not clear what happened to them, except the journal doesn't seem particularly unsure about that aspect of the story.
