The exact reason for the disappearance of the Roanoke colony in the late 16th century remains a mystery. The colony's inhabitants, including Governor John White's family, vanished without a trace. Various theories suggest they may have been killed by Native Americans, assimilated into local tribes, or succumbed to disease or starvation.

The Roanoke Voyages (three in all, not counting John White's return trip in 1580) made the first English trips to what is now North Carolina, but in the 16th century the entire country was named Virginia in honor of Queen Elizabeth I. While Ralegh certainly put the first two voyages together and retained a portion of the third voyage in 1587, he did not travel to Roanoke Island or any part of North America himself.

If you are referring to Roanoke Island in 1590, Ralegh did not return - Ralegh never came to Roanoke Island. He sponsored two of the three Roanoke Voyages and lent his name to the third, but never accompanied any of the voyages. John White returned to Roanoke Island in 1590. He had been the governor of the colony and had left the colony in 1587 to return to England for much needed supplies. He returned in 1590 and found no trace of his colonists. There were two clues as to their whereabouts - "As we entered up the sandy bank, upon a tree - in the very brow thereof - were curiously carved the fair Roman letters, CRO" and "One of the chief trees or posts at the right side of the entrance had the bark taken off, and five feet from the ground in fair capital letters was graven CROATOAN, without any cross or sign of distress."
The first group of colonists arrived at Roanoke Island in 1585, and the second group arrived in 1587. So, there was a gap of 2 years between the arrivals of the two groups of colonists on Roanoke Island.
