If you could solve one unsolved mystery

[shessocool]

Which one would it be? Missing persons, unsolved murders or even random unexplained events.

Oh, really? Thank you, I'll have a look.

My dh would like to know why the shooter missed Trump

Never heard of this before. Awful. Maybe suicide or some sort of absence seizure. The latter seems unlikely but then suicide by someone who was planning on buying a car, etc also seems unlikely.

There’s a good podcast called True Criminals that covers this case very sad

This is an interesting read.

Thanks for the Answers for Claudia podcast recommendation upthread. I'm 6 episodes in and her dad has so many red flags. Not saying he had anything to do with the murder but he made some odd decisions that hindered the investigation.

Also people keep repeating the 'complex love life' and dozens of married lovers thing as fact but there doesn't seem much evidence to support it and it's exactly the kind of red herring that a guilty party would produce and promote.

Claudia must have had friends who knew something about her relationships. I wish someone would step up and refute these allegations.

I haven't read the full thread, maybe someone said it, but Sophie Toscan du Plantier.

The Dark Histories podcast has an excellent episode on this, too. Horrific and savage.

I still think about that little lad sometimes. It's a very wicked world.

This Is perhaps a stupid question but in relation to your last point, re dental records, I’ve often wondered how they can be definitive. Like, I’ve had maybe 10 or 12 dental practices over my lifetime. If I was found dead and in such a state that I was only identifiable by dental records, how would the authorities know which practice to check with? I’d imagine that in a big city there must be lots of practices someone could be with. Even with NHS records, someone might not be using an NHS dentist. I get that if they are pretty sure the body is me, and my family say ‘oh she always went to practice x, in fact she was there last week’ then it’s straightforward, but that won’t always be the way. In the case above of that man in Sligo, how could they possibly begin to start looking for his dentist? I find this fascinating!

I think, @sammylady37 , that in cases like this one, dental records would normally be used to confirm the identity of someone from a shortlist of names. So from a list of missing people in the whole of Germany, for example, narrowing it down to people of the right sex, age group, height, skin colour, medical issues etc etc.would maybe take it down to 10 possible people (I have no idea on the numbers!) I'm guessing that the police would then speak to the families of those 10 people to find out which dentist they used and go from there. That's my theory anyway!

In the case of Peter Bergmann in particular though, he had he had such distinctive dental work that I'm a bit surprised that a dentist who'd treated him in the past wouldn't have recognised him from media appeals! Strange.

Who really shot JFK

@MrsKeats The last theroy I heard was the fatal shot was accidentally fired by one of his security guards in all the kerfuffle and the government covered it up. Certainly sounds plausible.

Actually thinking about this and spinning it round.
It would have been good if he'd spilled the beans on his other killings. So maybe that should be my "mystery I'd like solved"
How many and who did Peter Tobin kill.

I didn’t think so — the police are not saying for now but it looked like they think these poor women committed suicide.
(I don’t know whether the coroner, or Scottish equivalent, has ruled on it yet.)

I think they'd concluded suicide too. They had visited the bridge before. And they'd done some other things that made the police think they'd planned it.

I'm aware of a few older cases where pictures of the victim's distinctive dental work or distinctive teeth were published in dentistry journals as a general 'do you recognise these teeth?' kind of thing.
