Unsolved Mysteries... what are the creepiest unsolved cases you've heard of

[Max B]

The Riveria case on the new show on Netflix, has my mind racing. Its either he found something he shouldn't have or had a breakdown the letter on the computer that he wrote was just weird

What’s the show called ?

 

[Brandeezy]

What’s the show called ?

The new unsolved mysteries wasn’t bad. Can’t wait for the next set of episodes later this year. Be nice if we could get them in batches of 10.

The Case of the Missing 727
The 727 that Vanished | History | Air & Space Magazine

Goddamn, that entire situation was a shytshow long before the plane vanished. People trying get rich quick schemes in poorly regulated warzones are something else.

I think someone else was on the plane before they got there and abducted them assuming they could fly it, but either the abductors or the flight engineer just weren't good enough pilots and it crashed into the Atlantic somewhere.

The schizo guy killed them and probably hiding out with Han family

Nah, they clearly died of natural causes. I think he tried to lead them on some grand adventure and none of them were bright enough or strong-willed enough to call it quits when shyt started going south. He either ran off and went into hiding cause he knew he fukked up, or just penetrated even deeper into the woods and ended up dying someplace where he was never found.

I gotta say that I really enjoyed The Last Podcast on The Left series on the JFK Assassination. The final episode with the theory they all ascribe to:

Spoiler

It wasn't Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald, while a good shot and knew his weapon well, missed all the critical shots (he did strike John at least once (bullet #1) and also struck both the governor Conally/JFK with bullet #2, the 3rd shell casing that was found in the book depository was actually a shell that he used to prevent a jam in his rifle because he knew his rifle and knew what it was/wasn't capable of) and it wasn't Oswald who made the death blow, but a rookie secret service agent who was put on the parade route last minute because the night before, the senior SS members all had gone out and partied pretty hard and some took the day off on the day of the parade (this was after a rigorous schedule of protection detail for multiple events) and let the second stringers take over. This rookie agent was entrusted on the ground level of the parade route and armed with what at the time was new to the ranks, the AR-15. So when the action kicks off this rookie agent lets one off on the ground level which also attributes to what witnesses on the street who saw the assassination say that they could smell gunpowder nearby and Texans know their gun powder and this stray bullet was the death blow to JFK and can explain why he lurches the way he does when he is struck with the kill shot, why witnesses on the street can smell and identify gun powder (how's that gunna work if someone is shooting indoors from high above) and why JFK's body was both immediately taken away by the CIA before a proper autopsy was done and why so much evidence just didnt get put through the proper channels and everything was sewn up EXTREMELY quick. The US couldn't afford to look like imbeciles to the Russians while the Cold War was goin on with one of their own assassinating their own president. We would've been the laughing stock of the entire world and would've set back international relations to this day. So it all got pinned on Oswald and it doesn't hurt that there's been decades of obfuscation to just help keep things as murky as possible and its very very easy to believe it was just one man with three bullets that managed to change the course of the entire country for decades and not a CIA/SS fukkup of the highest degree

I highly recommend if you're interested in it you check out the series. I always just enjoyed the dumb conspiracy of it all, but after getting through it and hearing that final episode. My mind is completely changed.

Episode 404: JFK Part V / The Conspiracy Part I - Snarlin' Arlen — LAST PODCAST ON THE LEFT

But why JFK had to die?

 

[SunZoo]

The Alonzo Brooks case, especially following it up on reddit has been kind of a mind fukk.

I think someone else was on the plane before they got there and abducted them assuming they could fly it, but either the abductors or the flight engineer just weren't good enough pilots and it crashed into the Atlantic somewhere.

Imagine someone pulling off a landing like this at a remote airstrip, at night after flying IFR for hours in unfamiliar airspace. There's no way, but then why would he even take off? and what hijackers would want to be on that plane once it left the ground?

Hinterkaifeck murders - Wikipedia

Got chills

Wait, fukk, I already read that shyt when it was mentioned in the thread before but now I got down a REAL rabbit hole.



So it turns out the same fukking murders occurred ten years earlier in Iowa.

Villisca axe murders | Wikiwand



And again in Kansas four days before that

Paola-Axe-Murder



Different spot in Kansas a few months before that

Ax Murder-Ellsworth, Kansas - Newspapers.com



And again, exact same M.O. in Colorado a few months before that

Discovering gruesome history of Colorado Springs neighborhood



All the killings were committed within a few hundred feet of a railroad junction, in a small town without much police presence, of a family that had a barn (for the killer to hide in and observe) but no dog (to warn the family), using an axe (often the blunt side), killing the entire family, covering their bodies with sheets, covering the windows with sheets, leaving the axe at the scene of the crime, not robbing anything, and often evidence of sexual assault of the preteen daughter of the family.


The Man from the Train - Wikipedia

Bill James eventually found 39 whole family ax murders committed between 1897 and 1912, with a total of 153 victims, that had a similar enough M.O. that they think the same killer was involved. Then in 1912 the killings in the USA stop, but in 1922 you have a killing with the exact same M.O. in Germany? James thinks the killer was Paul Mueller, a German immigrant and itinerant lumberjack who was the suspect in an ax killing of a family in Massachusetts in 1897. His theory is that by 1912 when investigators started noticing the connections between the different cases, he felt shyt getting too hot and fled back to the homeland. There are probably other ax murders in Germany or elsewhere in Europe that got forgotten during that WWI period in between.
