I can't find anything about Arile or his disappearance. I think we're going to need the genealogy and newspaper archive sleuthers to do some digging. I'm curious to learn more about Arile's case.

And I'm pretty comfortable thinking this is him in 1940. Ancestry Census Search

I don't have the time just bow to go digging into his family members, but there certainly could be something useful there.
