They return to the planet "Sockola". They mate and then transform into advanced forms of apparel.

Missing socks can be "eaten" by the machine. As the rubber seal wears after countless hot washes, a loose sock can be sucked into the pump, and can damage it.
Check the pump regularly if possible, and place socks in a pillow case or a net laundry bag, rather than loose in the machine.

Depending on the spin cycle most small items like socks go through what is know as the Filionoxic Weber cycle at a discrete RPM, it varies with the machine. This moves the item to the uppermost portion of the machine basket where it slides through via centrifugal force before the basket stops spinning.
If you disassemble your machine you will find all of the missing items.

All washing machines have a sock eater placed in them during manufacture. The sole purpose of this is to cause maximum inconvenience and eat only the newest and best quality socks you have. It is a plot by sock mamnuafctures in India and China to increase their profits

And I thought it was just our washing machine!
My best guess is that they find their way around the door seal and lodge in the outer drum. I suspect that there will come a time when there are so many of them that they will block the outlet pipe!

Ah, one of those age-old mysteries!
A number of times I've found socks mixed up with clothes I had folded up and put away.
My husband (jokingly) swears that the rings of Saturn are made up of lost socks!

Yes that monster is always eating those socks. lol Actually, they are under your bed, sofa, chair, or maybe under the washer or drier. They also hide in other clothes in the same load. Good Luck on your search!
