drop off the radar
Become completely untraceable
To drop off the radar is to become undetectable or unnoticed, like an aircraft disappearing from tracking screens.
Someone who drops off the radar stops being visible in their usual circles—they stop calling, posting, or showing up: He dropped off the radar after the breakup.
The phrase often implies deliberate withdrawal or mysterious absence.
