Friends Disappearing?

A little more than a month ago, a couple friends disappeared off of my facebook. Through mutual friends, I know they have not deleted or blocked me. And if I search for their name and go to "web results," it shows up as "Friends name. Your friend. yada yada yada." But when I try to click on that page it says that the page I requested isnt available and that the link may be broken or the page removed. It doesn't make sense. It's very frustrating. And I haven't been able to find out what is going on. Any help would be fantastic.

Sorry for your problems. Facebook assures that friend removals are not caused by technical errors. The issue may result from one of the following:

This person removed you from his/her friend List, either intentionally or accidentally.
This person has deactivated his/her account, causing a disappearance from all friend Lists.
It's also possible there may be a security issue.
