ThereWillBeDeaths7 748 Posted January 16, 2023 Some of the mysteries besides some of the above which I'm sometimes wondering about: 1. Who built the moʻai statues on Easter Island? 2. To what extent did stadtholder Willem III (the later King William III of England) know about the lynching of the brothers (Johan & Cornelis) De Witt in 1672? 3. The death of Rudolf Diesel in 1913. 4. The identity of Tank Man and what happened to him during/after the Tiananmen protests. Did the government get him, is he still alive somewhere? And some existential mysteries I don't expect ever being found out or confirmed: 5. How did the universe come to be and perhaps on a more philosophical note, why? 6. What is the meaning of life and does there exist some version of an afterlife? (I'm of the opinion it's unlikely there is a greater plan or afterlife, but the thought of some place where you could reunite with your loved ones after you pass away would be wonderful) 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Daredevil 1,189 Posted January 17, 2023 For me the Natalie Wood mystery. Wagner may have contributed to her unexplained bruises found on her body after her death, from their heated argument. This would explain why as much as Natalie hated the water, she was probably so afraid of staying on the boat after the argument, she tried to leave on the dingy, but the storm that night mixed with her intoxication from alcohol caused her to fall in the sea and drown. When people are drunk, they do also sometimes have impaired thinking so maybe if she was sober she wouldn’t have risked the escape. Some suspicious inconsistencies: A witness heard her crying for help for 20 minutes and a man’s slurred voice saying something like “Oh, hold on, we’re coming to get you” around the same time. I also read somewhere a man's voice was heard by a witness, laughing and taunting whilst Natalie was calling for help. Then came a threatening note to the witnesses’ mailbox saying “If you value your life, keep quiet about what you know.” Wagner also omits the argument he had with Wood from his statements, saying he only went below to find Natalie gone. There was definitely an argument between Wood and Wagner that night, and it is suspicious that all of a sudden it went completely quiet. Wagner has also changed his story many times, for instance, he originally said the wine bottle was smashed due to high seas and rolled off, then he changed it to saying the bottle of wine was left in the dingy before he finally admitted he smashed it. I reckon Wagner and Walken know more than they let on, but it was still accidental drowning IMO Also the Jeffrey Epstein mystery, it was likely not suicide! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lilham 757 Posted January 18, 2023 Who killed Amber Hagerman? The internationally used Amber Alert system is named after her. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amber_alert#Namesake I lived in the same town and was close in age to her when she was kidnapped and murdered. It was the case that changed how we played outside, because prior to that we would ride bikes and play in the creeks without adult supervision. Also, there's the curiosity if it was someone you'd crossed paths with yourself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would you mind sum them up briefly for me ? 1) Korean frog boys is about 5 Korean boys who went out looking for salamander eggs in 1991 and were never heard from again. Their remains were found in 2002 showing signs of blunt force trauma. 2)the art bell phone is someone rang into a radio show claiming they were fired from area 51. They claim some project made contact with extra dimensional beings who want the population centres wiped out. He was about to tell art other stuff when the satellite hosting the radio station was taken offline. 3) Saturn's hexagon. A bizarre structure has been seen within it, others think it could be a portal. More out there conspiracies say it's connected to hell and a black cube cult worships it as a hexagon also looks like a 3D cube. 4)lost boy Larry is about is a missing child case who pleaded for help and saving over band radio. There was a huge search and the transmissions stopped a few days later. Some think it was a hoax and others think he died. Few more conspiracies surrounding it too. 5) This to me is one of the most bizarrest stories I've ever heard and they should turn it into a movie. I can't do this justice but this YouTube channel tells the whole story better than I could at 21:33 6) just to add an extra one I'd love to find out who Bible John was, a serial killer who killed 3 women in Glasgow in the late 60s. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why did Penny withdraw so much money in the days before her murder in her own car in a leisure centre car park?? The Penny Bell case is very interesting. She was brutally murdered, in her car, in broad daylight. Nobody saw a thing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,480 Posted January 20, 2023 I believe the Dando/Arkan link tbh. She was shot right after she did a public appeal for Kosovo, Arkan was demanding revenge for the Belgrade bombing of their public broadcaster, and it sounded a bit like the types of assassinations his lot carried out in the 90s. The details would presumably not come out for a while because its embarrassing to the government. Who's buried in Grant's Tomb? I'm an ignorant Scot but I always assumed that was an American version of "does bears shit in the woods/is the Pope a Catholic"? Wagner I don't think did kill Natalie Wood, but their argument before hand led to the actions which caused her accidental death, and that probably weighs on him and Walken's minds as much as if they'd actually killed her. Dyatlov Pass - hypothermia. The Arlene Foster case has always struck me as weird. Dead at the bottom of a loch somewhere no doubt (unless she pulled off the most successfully Stonehouse ever), but where, how and why was never confirmed. And while Nat Fraser is undeniably a cunt, I'm not convinced he's a killer. And if he did pull off the accomplice hitman does it while he has a watertight alibi trick from Columbo, that person got away entirely. Likewise if Jeremy Bamber is as innocent as he claims and some intelligent folk (and George Galloway) seem to think, whodunnit? (Personally, if you talk about murdering your family, then they die and you seem to have made up your alibi for it, either you are really unlucky or else...) And who was the other Bible John? I'm convinced Tobin committed the first Bible John murder, as he was neighbours with the victim. Either she was really unlucky or else... However, for one of the later murders, he has the alibi of not being in Glasgow and not being able to make it to Glasgow to kill a woman. So, either there's a serious of massive coincidences, or, more likely to my mind, there was a copycat killer who got off scot free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A murder plot involving Arlene Foster would be quite a different scenario! On this topic, I'd mention an interest in the other two notable Scottish murder cases with convictions but no body, those of Suzanne Pilley: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Suzanne_Pilley and Margaret Fleming, which is my favourite true crime case, if one can have such a thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Margaret_Fleming. The BBC documentary about the latter case is fascinating. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
