Mysteries that intrigue you?

[maduggar]

I love reading about unsolved mysteries, they fascinate me!

Here are a few of my faves ...

sommerton man

- this one has noise!

the Beaumont children - imagine 3 of your children going mising :(


What are yours? Stonhenge, UFOs, The Kennedeys ...?

Re Suzy L - why does that clear up the mystery. There is such a thing as coincidence.

And if he knew her - perhaps he might have taken more than a usual interest in what might have happened to her and ended up obsessed with that sort of grisy thing, which could have contributed to his later behaviour.

It'd be odd indeed for someone to murder someone then do nothing for 20 years, then go on a spree.

The Moors Murderers and Harold Shipman all came from Hyde. Does that mean that there is a connection between them?

The number station thing has just brought back really strong memories for me. I grew up over the back from the Essex estuary marshlands, and we used to get many of those stations. Also ones just playing 'nature' sounds (bird song etc). My Dad always said they were radio bands which had been bought but weren't being used, so the owners had a loop playing so no-one else could use them. Never heard the spy theory

Sarah...reports say he was engaged to his first wife then, after meeting her on the ship....they married in Braintree in 1987.

i was just reading the wiki link about Suzy L. the estate agent who disappeared after going to meet a Mr Kipper

and it says there was a similar incident with another estate agent who went to meet a Mr Herring, was attacked but escaped!

they dont think there is a link but i think theres something fishy going on.....

I suppose you're right Balloonslayer. But it's a possible explanation.

[sethstarkaddersmummyreturns]

a girl from my school disappeared and for a long time that was a mystery.
then they found her in Peter Tobin's backyard. The real mystery now is why men who have a history of violence against women go on getting away with it again and again and again and it is allowed to escalate until they become killers

[SHRIIIEEEKPoolingBearBlood]

ooh yes I've heard bird song on the radio

[SarahStratton]

Braintree would mean he was in Essex 2 years after, not far from where I was. This was in Chelmsford shortly before Christmas.

[WhatsThatDuckDoingThere]

Sarah, sorry to hear that

I expect there must be a transcript from the courst case somewhere, if you really wanted to find out details? It wouldn't make very pleasant reading though.

[scurryfunge]

Have you reported this since, Sarah?....the Police are still interested in what he was doing in the early years of his offending.

[maduggar]

Oh SS Im sorry if this thread has upset you or caused bad memories to resurface :(

[BalloonSlayer]

It'd be a comforting explanation, as it'd mean there was one less nutter out there IYSWIM.

Wasn,t the Genette Tate case re-opened because of the recent convictions of that awful man who killed several women, he was Scottish but one of his houses was in Margate. Don't want to google it, sorry. They thought the area/circumstances fitted with the sort of things he did.

[SHRIIIEEEKPoolingBearBlood]

sorry Sarah, x post, that's awful :(

[ZombieChickensHaveNoMercy]

Good Lord, Sarah :( That is awful for you. You could contact the police now, and maybe they could help you?

[sethstarkaddersmummyreturns]

oh Sarah

my post looks very bad in relation to yours. My anger was not directed against people who don't report things, obviously, but at a legal system that puts women who report stuff through the mill and even then frequently doesn't convict, punish or protect them properly from reprisals.

[PerpetuallyAnnoyedByHeadlice]

Crikey Sarah i hope there is someone in RL you can confide in who will support you

[SarahStratton]

portsand that is a very mature looking 2 month premature Prince Albert

[BalloonSlayer]

Oh x-post. I meant Peter Tobin

[maduggar]

boom tish Perpetual!

[WhoAteAgentZigzagsBrain]

Did they ever find out why Paul Burrells trial was stopped?

He was going to give some evidence and then the Queen weirdly 'remembered' that she'd given him permission to take some of Dianas stuff, but hadn't mentioned it before.

What was he going to reveal do you recon?

[maduggar]

Isnt there rumours that Bible John & Tobin could be one & teh same?

[maduggar]

I do love a Royal mystery WhoAte!

[BalloonSlayer]

Sarah .

I expect the police would be very interested.

[SarahStratton]

No it's ok, honestly. I've talked about it since and sethstarkadder I would feel the same way too. I just couldn't talk about some of the stuff and I have come to terms with what happened. Like I said I was young and in shock at the time. I also felt then that a lot of it was my fault for not stopping him. As if I could have ffs.

I'm a glass half full person. I am just very lucky that if it was him I actually got off very lightly IMO.
