History Bizarre Cases of the missing and murdered

[xHeadx]

A good friend of mine disappeared a few years ago. A lifetime movie or series may be made of the event.

He was mid-50s & killed by his wife's lover at his auto shop. School camera across the street shows the guy leaving in wrecker, then returning & leaving again with something under a tarp.

Skull fragments were found in a large tunnel about a mile away. His body has never been found but the bastard that killed him was arrested for his murder. The guy won't say where it is either.

He did previous prison time. I can't remember for what though.

The Missing 411 documentaries are good

I've listened to a lot of those (Mr.Ballen) and I don't find very many of them particularly interesting. If you take a few things into consideration most of those stories aren't that mysterious.

1) People can travel much farther than "investigators" seem to think. Especially while panicking over a long time.

2)People do nonsensical things while panicked/hypothermic/scared

3)Your mind plays tricks on you while lot in the woods.

When I was a kid two of my friends and I got lost in the wood in Utah. One of them panicked and took off like a good damn super hero. We were in MUCH better shape and couldn't catch him.

Yeah, I think a lot of these things are just people being stupid. Most people are goofs who will easily fail to plan for contingencies or just make rookie mistakes because they are such goofs in the first place, thus leading to their demise from exposure to the elements, etc.

That said, I remember a time when I was having trouble sleeping, years ago, and was watching these kinds of real crime documentaries on t.v. One of them talked about some guys who merc'd people after bad drug deals, etc., and it was not only in the vicinity of the area I had lived in while going to high school, but on some of the same exact back roads that we used to park on late at night to drink and smoke pot, etc. It was farm country, so there was a lot of dark, back country, dirt roads. Was really creepy. It was also around the same time. Weird.

Agreed with previous posters that a lot of stuff isn't that interesting or seem that mysterious. But it's weird, that mystery feel. Especially with big cases where the parameters are well known, so you have a space of a few hours or so that are like a black box within an otherwise clear structure. When there's tons of theories that all seem to fizzle out when you really look at them - but still after all something DID happen there. It seems like it fucks with the sense of unreality, something... it's eerie.

He must have been pretty spooked . How’d you eventually calm him down?

Also there are some cases where people don’t want to be found. Start a new life.

Always keen for more though. im a true crime/mystery whore

 

[Crawler89]

I think alot of the 711 are as others mentioned, just people getting lost and confused.
Some are sure strange though.

my friend for many many years. jared would never abandon his family. i know deep down he was murdered. I, like his family would just like to find his body. his mother passed and never recieved closure. he is missed by many.

a body was found years ago in the area he went missing but it was confirmed to not be him.

Good that you got him.

Sometimes the scariest thing you can find is another person in the woods. Luckily he wasn’t picked up by a harmful stranger.

Sorry to hear man. You never think these things would happen to someone you know. A few years ago my girl got a call while we were watching a movie from her friend saying their other friend had been murdered. A few years later it's an episode of Dateline. It's called "The wrong door".

Basically two shithead gangbangers tried to rob her weed dealer neighbor and went onto the wrong apartment, tied her up and shot her in the head.

I never realized the amount of people that go missing every year and are never found, that you never even hear about.

It makes you wonder how many are trafficking

 

[Lavitz]

This one always interested me:

Guy just vanishes at a bar. Human trafficking? New life? Accident? Murder?

Doubt trafficing.
Makes sense to me the most that he went out the emergency exit and had an accident

Just learned of this story this weekend and now I have a new hero:





https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_Wilson


https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...-crash-land-plane-walk-Everest-fly-climb.html


===

Wilson formed a plan to fly a small aeroplane to Tibet, crash-land it on the upper slopes of Everest, and walk to the summit. It was a bold plan; a solo flight halfway across the world would have been a significant undertaking for the best aviators of the day, while no mountaineer of the time would have contemplated a solo ascent of Everest – a feat which was not to be achieved until 1980. A practical problem was posed by the fact that Wilson knew nothing about either flying or mountaineering, so he set out to learn these.


Wilson purchased a three-year-old de Havilland DH.60 Moth, which he christened Ever Wrest, and set about learning the rudiments of flying. He was a poor student who took twice the average length of time to gain his pilot's licence, and was told by his instructor that he would never reach India. However, he did obtain his licence, and the scepticism of his peers only increased his determination – he told his instructor that he would reach Everest, or die in the attempt.[11]


Wilson's preparation for the mountaineering challenge that lay ahead was even worse than his preparation for the flight. He bought no specialist equipment and made no attempt to learn technical mountaineering skills, such as the use of an ice axe and crampons. Instead, he spent just five weeks walking around the modest hills of Snowdonia and the Lake District before he declared himself ready.[12]

A father finds his daughter strangled to death.... but then confesses 4 times.... in 4 different ways to how he raped and murdered her.

Then recants. DNA clears him and a sex predator fresh from jail is proven to have committed the crime, but the police suppress evidence and the prosecutor charges the father as part of a conspiracy to commit the crime.

I'd suggest to watch the video, it's a wild ride.

Keddie Cabin murders

Just listened to an in depth podcast on the Keddie murders. It seems pretty straight forward that the neighbor did it.

Told police...'oh, someone stole my hammer a few days ago' before they asked anything about a hammer or even stated that was a murder weapon.

The (deceased) wife was instrumental in his(neighbors) wife getting the courage to leave him.

He pointed a loaded gun at his then pregnant wife.

Attempted to run over his wife while she was holding their baby.

His own wife, as well as another neighbor, witnessed him and another man burning clothes the morning after the murder, but before the bodies were discovered.

Didn't harm a couple kids that were there.... including his own son, who was spending the night.

Has a long history of violence.

Was drunk the night of the crime and just got news his wife was leaving him...thanks to the neighbor lady.

The real mystery is why the hell was he never charged.

Love this kind of stuff.

I have very strong opinions about the McCann case having read lots of alternative news/sources about the timeline/aftermath and some documentaries. I'm not going into it here, but it's one of my favourite mysteries coz I have a genuine opinion on what happened.

How you gonna claim to have a genuine opinion on a worldwide mystery, but you're 'not going into it here'??? This is literally the best place to go into it....why even mention it if you don't wanna share.

Sorry if I seemed dick-ish...but come on! Lol. You can't leave us hanging like that.

avalanche +hypothermia+ dead bodies partially eaten by animals
im waiting......

That doesn't explain the radiation, the damage(from the inside) to the tents, how/why they managed to get into different areas, why the damage doesn't match typical animal predation, why did some have injuries consistent with being beaten? An avalanche would wreck your whole body, some of them appeared to have repeated blows to the same spot.

There's quite a few more fishy things I'm missing, but yeah....an avalanche n animals doesn't cover 1/4 of the sketchiness.
