What’s the scariest unsolved mystery you know?

[Mimmy352]

Whether it’s personal or well known, which unsolved case makes your brain sound like dial up?

And the:
I-70 killer
Las Cruces Bowling Alley murders
ICBIY Murders
Burger Chef Murders

Scary in the fact that they've never been solved.

Jack the Ripper is pretty much solved. It very probably was Aaron Kosminski, a Polish barber suffering from paranoid schizophrenia. The police comissioner Robert Anderson wrote in his notes that the killer had been readily identified by a reliable witness, but as the killer was clinically insane and already insititionalized, the witness refused to testify as they didn't want the execution of an insane man on their conscience. Donald Swanson, who led the investigation, later annotated the notes with Kosminski's name. There's also some DNA evidence linking Kosminski's descendants to a shawl belonging to one of the victims. Its not 100% but its very probable he was the killer.

Ben Needham, Madeline McCann, Geanette Tate, Suzie Lampugh and Claudia Lawrence are the mysteries I'd like to see solved.
Although Robert Black was alleged to have snatched and killed Geanette, he never admitted it and she's never been found.

I'd also like someone to solve the odd sock mystery, along with the odd shoe on the motorway mystery.
Maybe the sock and the shoe met up and legged it together, who knows 🤷

Another one that more baffles me than scares me. How did no one notice this at a busy concert?

Darlie Routier. Did she or didn't she kill her children?

Almost everything about the crime scene points to her. Almost everything. Except for one critical piece of evidence, a bloodied sock found a distance from the home. So did a total stranger break in to the Routiers' expensive home, steal nothing, murder the children, attempt to murder Routier but fail, then run away, leaving a bunch of valuables in plain sight?

maybe I shouldn't be reading this thread in the dead of night

There's a good podcast about the bath case on Audible

I can't be bothered to wade through all the posts so apologies if this has already been pointed out but Elisa Lam was not on a ship, she was in a hotel in California. There was a documentary released about her extremely tragic death and there were no suspicious circumstances. I cannot remember the findings exactly but they did work out how she ended up in the water tank and it was misadventure.

The Ben Needham case has been solved. A construction worker ran him over by mistake and then covered up the body rather than coming forward.

To generalise broadly, girls and young women who go missing with no history of disappearing/running away have been abducted and murdered.

With young men, it is typically linked to drug deals gone wrong or suicide.

With very small children, it is almost always abduction by paedophiles apart from an occasional case which is misadventure ie. wandering off and falling down a manhole or into a waterway.

Which thread ? I'm curious now

I would love to know did Steven Avery kill Teresa Halbach. Do aliens exist and is there a chance that Lucy Letby could be innocent. Also Maddie McCann I think of her a lot. Trafficked children cases just gives me the horrors, who are these monsters that set these international lines up. Johnny Gosch is another case I often think about - I watched it on Netflix 'Who took Johnny' I wonder when all these grieving mothers die and meet their deceased children in heaven, if that's the case, do they get their answers and do they both look down on the murderer for eternity.

It's not been solved it was a theory a few years back-there is no proof and they didn't find his body or even his toys. No evidence whatsoever it was just on the word of some guy (who remains anonymous) who said this digger driver confessed on his deathbed. All very weird and I don't believe it. The grandmother didn't think he could've walked to that site in the time anyway. I have my own theory with that case and it doesn't involve digger drivers or gypsies...

I think about a local girl to me that went missing a lot Leah Croucher, she went missing in 2019 and he body was found last year in the attic of a ‘holiday’ home. The only suspect they have committed suicide in 2019, he was a workman that had access to the house.

It’s all very odd indeed. Lots of conspiracy theories around her at the time, such a married boyfriend etc. but the circumstances such as the unoccupied house, the only workman to have access, how she was discovered so many unanswered questions.

@Jk8 @RoyKentsTieDyeTop I remember that thread - it was about people who had disappeared - I think the poster called themselves meidid?
I hope that poster is happy in their life, whether or not its Ruth Wilson.

Me too! I was reading it on and off during the night, whilst sleeping downstairs so to be near to dog post op. Hope no-one looks up my search history, as i went down some rabbit holes during the night…

Don't mistake desperation for determination.

I'm sorry for this absolutely horrible question. But if he did fall into farm machinery designed to mince animal carcasses, does that mean his body would have ended up mixed into meat products?

I'm sorry, the idea is unbelievably distressing, but that seems to be inevitable if it's what happened.

I haven't read the whole thread just yet, but wanted to say
Mandy Power from Wales. Her entire family were killed, two daughters and her Mother. Eventually a man was arrested, but has always claimed he was innocent. I just cannot fathom how no neighbours heard people being killed? Nothing?

Madeline McCann
Jill Dando
Suzy Lampugh
many more....

That little Irish/French girl who went missing in the Malaysian rainforest, and was sadly found dead, naked and barefoot in the middle of nowhere . When her parents said she could barely walk unaided.

this one?

Apparently toxicology showed Elisa Lam had stopped taking her medication for bipolar disorder. The video in the lift certainly looks like someone having an episode.

I believe they did find a toy? The truck he had with him at the time he vanished.

I don't think the Jon Benet case is much of a mystery just a shame that it seems it will never be proven that whatever happened was entirely a family incident.
