No, but I do know someone who was planning to disappear, fearing he was going to be arrested for attempted murder.  

I had a friend in high school whom we have never been able to locate to invite to class reunions. I saw his name registered on "classmates.com" once, but he deleted it soon afterward.

I don't personally know anyone who has disappeared. This question does remind me of  Patrick McDermott (Olivia Newton John's ex-boyfriend) who went missing in 2005 and was assumed to be dead after  allegedly falling off a fishing boat. He was found alive and living in Mexico in 2010 using a different name. 

McDermott had filed for bankruptcy, owing more than 30,000 dollars and many believed he staged his own death in order to cash out on a 100,000 life insurance policy for his son.
