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?

There's a Jill Dando documentary coming up on Netflix soon

Yes you're right actually.

I suppose I was thinking it's not along the lines of some on here that seem unexplained/spooky.

I don't know the details, but it's possible either way that she let them in because she knew them or opened the door & they pushed their way in?

And Sharon Harper just a few months before.

Two murders in such a short space of time!

One of my friends had a cousin who was murdered in the 60’s. Her family have never had any closure and it isn’t looking likely that they ever will.

I would like to add the very sad case of Joe Deacy in Co Mayo. It is 6 years since this young man was found, severely beaten, outside a house where he was known to be a visitor. He later dies of his injuries. The Gardai have made an absolutle hames of the investigation - it is gobsmacking that no one has been charged. His family (and lots of local people) have campaigned relentlessy for some sort of answers.

Noah Donoghue.
I just can't get my head around how this isn't a cover up by the psni and how it has been allowed to remain a cover up! Noah's mother did a podcast with James English and it was just devastating.
I've never heard that he was involved in gangs or anything but I can't see how he ended up in a storm drain unless someone put him there.
I often think of Norah, the little girl who could barely walk unaided but apparently got lost in Malaysia.

Me too. That was genuinely terrifying. The footage makes it so weird.

Alot of names have already been mentioned but Billy Jo Jenkins her step dad convicted then the case got over turned. I still think he did it but I'm amazed he later got off. She was fostered in and I think he liked to bulky her. The documentary was on not long ago.

Yes no one was charged, why she went in the room is a mystery I really felt for her and her family.

Why women with chunky orange legs walk round the centre of Leeds/Sheffield in winter in miniskirts. Total mystery.

I don’t think Dyatlov Pass is baffling at all, an avalanche explains everything and some experts think one was possible in that area. The bits missing from the bodies is typical of what scavenging animals and birds do. It’s only if you believe the people who say it can’t have been an avalanche that you have to start looking for weirder reasons.

@CaveMum
The Cheryl Grimmer case is basically solved I think, just insufficient evidence for a conviction. The suspect admitted it.

I've always been of the persuasion that Richard wasn't guilty - probably due to my mother. It has been said that Richard would have made a very good king .

I've not read the book by Josephine Tey, thank you for the recommendation, I will definitely read it

Police think. Kate Bushell, Lyne Bryant and also Helen Fleet could all be linked…

All in the SW, all walking there dogs, and all viciously stabbed.

Bringing up 3 girls in the rural SW I’ve always been really haunted by the cases as all doing what we do every day without a 2nd thought…

Quite terrifying!

Claudia Lawrence. I remember a journalist who covered the case stating that it was the only missing person's case where he'd been threatened/ scared off twice.

The Frog Boys of South Korea.

The brutal killing of an older couple in Cornwall. It was near my grandparents where we often used to go. I remember my Grandad having his suspicions of who did it, but I think a lot of his ideas were 'pub talk'.

The tragic death of Phoebe Handsjuk in Australia. Died in awful circumstances that I think were later ruled misadventure/ an accident? But invesigators have tried to "recreate" what happened and been unable to. Poor woman.

I'm intrigued by the GEC-Marconi deaths. Tony Collins wrote a book about it Open Verdict.

There's also an interesting thread about it in reddit unresolved mysteries.

Lord Lucan mystery. Killed the nanny then disappeared. 1970’s

The 3 missing Beaumont children from Adelaide. They even called in a clairvoyant from the Netherlands.

Me, I've seen all of them, they're morbidly fascinating. I tracked down and bought all the Missing 411 books when I lived in Canada too.

Others that I've previously gone down the rabbit hole reading about are Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon, the Yuba County Five and the Dyatlov Pass group.

I find it astonishing that several handwriting experts have analysed the 'ransom note' left at The Ramsey's and declared it is categorically the work of Patsy Ramsey and yet, due to politics, nothing was ever done about it.

I wonder about the poster in the other thread that some people thought was Ruth Wilson. Why would she be worried about her children's lives and safety all these years on? RW was almost 17 when she disappeared, so even if she had an unhappy home life, could leave soon enough without changing her identity and make a life for herself far away. The poster mentions being able to wear what she likes and go where she likes, which also struck me as an odd thing for an adult woman to say. It sounds more like an oppressive cultural/religious background with the threat of so-called honour based violence. I hope she is doing ok.

I've read a lot on that case over the years, and a lot of stuff that wasn't widely reported at the time.

The general consensus is that it was the brother, and the parents covered it up so that they'd only lose one child, instead of two.

My personal "would like to know" is Madeline McCann. That poor baby.
Also there's that boy, around 13/14, I forget his name, who took £200 from his bank account, got a one-way train ticket to London, and was never seen or heard from again.

There was a girl near me, from Milton Keynes - Leah something - who just disappeared walking to work one day. Her brother ended up unaliving himself because of the trauma, and her remains were found in an attic about 3 years later. The house was owned by someone who lived abroad, and was being "looked after" by a local sexual predator, who died between Leah's kidnapping and her discovery, so her poor family never got any justice for her death, or her brothers.

I was living in London then, I am a little bit younger than she was, and it was such a terrible and frightening thing to happen. I am surprised that even with DNA nobody has been caught.

But surely if there was an avalanche then (a) the contents of the tent would be disturbed (b) the hikers would have run from it rather than walked?

Probably Madeleine McCann. A parent’s worst nightmare.
