Wasn’t there a guy in the news quite recently who was discovered to be the person who walked out of his family one day and just disappeared? Apparently he was living like just a city away under a different name. That seems much easier than the other convuluted suggestions mentioned in this thread. He did get found out, but that was after so many years and because he never bothered to hide. If he moved every couple of years, he probably would’ve never been discovered.
That largely depends on who is looking for you or if there's an actual assumption that you died or gone missing. Those circumstances you describe seem counterintuitive.
