Actually, you only have to drive out for about an hour or so (depending on the direction) to reach exurbs where the the nom-nom factor starts to get moderate. Drive out towards WI, south, or northeast (I think?), and in under two hours you're in some pretty high nom-nom territory. Earlier this summer, a mentally retarded man with a kidney transplant disappeared from the summer camp he was at. With a good number of volunteers doing searches, they finally found him a week later, not too far from where he'd left (it was literally the second-to-last or third-to-last search party that found him). On the "yay human interest" note, he was covered in bug bites, but, amazingly, alive despite a week without food or anti-rejection meds. http://ethel.livejournal.com/907307.html
It doesn't happen too often, but people just disappear every year in the woods and farmland - some of them probably want to disappear.
