Bizarre Cases of the missing and murdered

download - 2023-04-10T001000.143.jpeg I didn't do a search if this event was mentioned here but here goes:
One of the most eclectic and unsolved disappearances of people has gotta be PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK, a true story (despite many people think it's pure fiction!) written by Aussie writer Joan Lindsay - a story about the disappearance literally into thin air of 4 schoolgirls in the great Australian outback in the 19th C.
Lindsay reveals the truth in a mysterious final chapter (manuscript) gone lost after her death and never found.....Peter Weir who adapted the story to film stated he did lots of research in the event and Hanging Rock, a location that truly exists north - east of Melbourne; I visited this uncanny place many times and each time I felt a strange magic in the air which the local aboriginals believe is the work of spirits. Only 1 girl reappeared at the local police station after years, but suffered total amnesia and couldn't reveal anything - the other girls were never to be found again !!! Very mysterious case.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...r-appears-london-court-gbh-charges-castration


The Metropolitan police in Britain on Thursday produced an individual and his eight accomplices in court for allegedly castrating other people and broadcasting the video on a website called 'eunuch maker'.

Marius Theodore Gustavson, 45, the lynchpin, originally hailing from Norway was arrested on Wednesday in London. Gustavson's gang reportedly operated in London, Scotland and South Wales. They recorded the entire 'castration' process on their cameras and later broadcast it on the website, charging money from subscribers for viewing the content.

Gustavson has been charged with five counts of 'Grievous Bodily Harm' (GBH). He is also being tried for producing and distributing an inappropriate image of a child and possessing criminal property.

According to police, the said voyeuristic activities took place between 2016 and 2022, relating to 13 victims which earned Gustavson & Co. almost £200,000. For the time being, all nine have been granted bail and asked to appear at the Old Bailey next month. None of the accused are yet to enter a plea to any of the charges.


Nathaniel Arnold, 47, from South Kensington, west London; Damien Byrnes, 35, from Tottenham, north London; and Jacob Crimi-Appleby, 22, from Epsom, Surrey, also appeared at Westminster magistrates court on Wednesday, each charged with a single offence of causing GBH with intent.


Arnold is alleged to have removed Gustavson’s nipple, Byrnes is accused of removing his penis and Crimi-Appleby is accused of freezing his leg, requiring amputation.
 
I don't like Paulides but he released a new documentary, Missing 411: The UFO Connection on the 12th of November.

Will check it out.

I used to follow Dave's Youtube channel but had to stop, the guy is not doing well anymore - he lost his son and the last few episodes I sat through he was barely holding on, almost sobbing at times, it was kinda rough.

I'd give my left testicle to know what exactly happened at Dyatlov Pass.

It would most likely be very underwhelming. Something like a snow slab avalanche could have been the cause.
 
The Dennis Martin disappearance case is a sad one.

And he wasn't to far from his father when it happened.


Watch the videos by Missing Enigma on the Dennis Martin case. Creates a lot of doubt regarding the manner in which David Paulides frames the case, and made me start to question 'The Missing 411' phenomena. Which is a bummer because that mystery was my favourite deep dive of all time.

She hobbled into a Los Angeles county welfare office in October 1970, a stooped, withered waif with a curious way of holding up her hands, like a rabbit. She looked about six or seven. Her mother, stricken with cataracts, was seeking an office with services for the blind and had entered the wrong room.


But the girl transfixed welfare officers.


At first they assumed autism. Then they discovered she could not talk. She was incontinent and salivated and spat. She had two nearly complete sets of teeth - extra teeth in such cases are known as supernumeraries, a rare dental condition. She could barely chew or swallow, and could not fully focus her eyes or extend her limbs. She weighed just 59lb (26kg). And she was, it turned out, 13 years old.


Her name – the name given to protect her identity – was Genie. Her deranged father had strapped her into a handmade straitjacket and tied her to a chair in a silent room of a suburban house since she was a toddler. He had forbidden her to cry, speak or make noise and had beaten and growled at her, like a dog.

There was Genie’s older brother, who also suffered grievously under their father. He lived, in his own words, like a “dead man” and failed his own daughter – Genie’s niece – who in turn failed her daughters.


The story begins with Genie’s father, Clark Wiley. He grew up in foster homes in the Pacific north-west and worked as a machinist on aircraft assembly lines in LA during and after the second world war. He married Irene Oglesby, a dust bowl migrant 20 years his junior. A controlling man who hated noise, he did not want children. Yet children came. The first, a baby girl, died after being left in a cold garage. A second died from birth complications. A third, a boy named John, survived, followed five years later by the girl who would become known as Genie.


When a drunk driver killed Wiley’s mother in 1958, he unravelled into anger and paranoia. He brutalised John and locked his 20-month-old daughter alone in a small bedroom, isolated and barely able to move. When not harnessed to a potty seat, she was constrained in a type of straitjacket and wire mesh-covered crib. Wiley imposed silence with his fists and a piece of wood. That is how Genie passed the 1960s.


Irene, stricken by fear and poor eyesight, finally fled in 1970. Things happened swiftly after she blundered into the wrong welfare office. Wiley, charged with child abuse, shot himself. “The world will never understand,” said the note.

Genie, a ward of court, was moved to LA’s children’s hospital. Pediatricians, psychologists, linguists and other experts from around the US petitioned to examine and treat her, for here was a unique opportunity to study brain and speech development – how language makes us human.


Genie could speak a few words, such as “blue”, “orange”, “mother” and “go”, but mostly remained silent and undemonstrative. She shuffled with a sort of bunny hop and urinated and defecated when stressed. Doctors called her the most profoundly damaged child they had ever seen.


Progress initially was promising. Genie learned to play, chew, dress herself and enjoy music. She expanded her vocabulary and sketched pictures to communicate what words could not. She performed well on intelligence tests.


“Language and thought are distinct from each other. For many of us, our thoughts are verbally encoded. For Genie, her thoughts were virtually never verbally encoded, but there are many ways to think,” said Curtiss, one of the few surviving members of the research team. “She was smart. She could hold a set of pictures so they told a story. She could create all sorts of complex structures from sticks. She had other signs of intelligence. The lights were on.”


Curtiss, who was starting out as an academic at that time, formed a tight bond with Genie during walks and shopping trips (mainly for plastic buckets, which Genie collected). Her curiosity and spirit also enchanted hospital cooks, orderlies and other staff members.

Genie showed that lexicon seemed to have no age limit. But grammar, forming words into sentences, proved beyond her, bolstering the view that beyond a certain age, it is simply too late. The window seems to close, said Curtiss, between five and 10.


Research funding dried up and Genie was moved to an inadequate foster home. Irene briefly regained custody only to find herself overwhelmed – so Genie went to another foster home, then a series of state institutions under the supervision of social workers who barred access to Curtiss and others. Genie’s progress swiftly reversed, perhaps never to be recovered.


For the surviving scientists it is regret tinged with anguish. Shurley’s verdict: “She was this isolated person, incarcerated for all those years, and she emerged and lived in a more reasonable world for a while, and responded to this world, and then the door was shut and she withdrew again and her soul was sick.”




The legacy of Clark Wiley’s abuse never released Genie’s brother, John. After the beatings, and witnessing his sister’s suffering, he told ABC News in 2008: “I feel at times God failed me. Maybe I failed him.” He saw Genie for the last time in 1982 and lost touch with their mother, who died in 2003. “I tried to put [Genie] out of my mind because of the shame. But I’m glad she got some help.”

theres no evidence it was ever real.
its a historical fiction book
 
Speaking about debunking, other things have been tried to debunk like The Bermuda Triangle by Charles Berlitz and Dan Brown's The da Vinci Code and what happened in the end ? The creepy debunkers were left completely debunked themselves !!! Good riddance fake debunkers !!
 
There is lots of clear evidence ...it is NOT fiction....say, did you read my post ??? Lindsay spoke about a mysterious forgotten revelatory manuscript which she would've given to the world, but she passed away before she could try. This manuscript exists - it IS NOT fiction - Weir himself has been looking for it too and he himself mentions its existence ! Unfortunately, because JL passed before she could reveal it, this sad saga will be forever debunked as being fiction. Hopefully one day, someone will find the manuscript (last chapter of the book). However, people should read the facts BEFORE they try to debunk an event.

The uber secret chapter was found and released in 1987 as "The Secret Of Hanging Rock".

It basically reveals its a portal to another dimension and that's where the girls are.

https://lithub.com/what-really-happened-to-the-girls-at-hanging-rock/

I was interested in it cause I've never heard of the real mystery despite being mystery, ufo, whatever obsessed but the story didn't happen. It's suggested it did and told as such, and borrows from things and places there but that's all
 
Speaking about debunking, other things have been tried to debunk like The Bermuda Triangle by Charles Berlitz and Dan Brown's The da Vinci Code and what happened in the end ? The creepy debunkers were left completely debunked themselves !!! Good riddance fake debunkers !!

The Bermuda triangle had no more disappearances than any other area of the ocean.

I don't even know what to tell you about the da Vinci code cause I never believed it was real in the first place and stems from ideas from another work from the 80s or so.

I want High strangeness and weirdness too, but I just don't want it to be bullshit is all
