Bormann's disappearance or the disappearance of Bormann

In a sentence or in sentences, which of the following two is more common: "The disappearance of Bormann" or "Bormann's disappearance"?

By the way, is there a program on the internet that lets me check this difference, that is, "the disappearance of Bormann" versus "Bormann's disappearance"?

Thank you.
