unwitnessed

Without any observers

Unwitnessed means not seen or observed by anyone.

An unwitnessed accident has no one who can testify to what happened.

An unwitnessed document lacks the signature of someone verifying they saw it signed.

The word often appears in legal and insurance contexts where proof of observation matters: The claim was denied because the injury was unwitnessed.
