Missing In Action

[Handrejka 1,904]

Not quite sure if this the right thread, but there doesn't seem to be a cold case thread or a UID thread and I would start one but not sure how much interest there would be.

 

Anyway, The Sumter County Does  an unidentified man and woman who were killed nearly 45 years ago finally get identified. This is huge news for those of interested in this kind of thing.

I have put in here as both decedents had actually been reported missing at the time which is unusual in these cases.

I like to keep up with the unidentified body scene in the UK 

 

There's actually a very odd case going on in Devon at the moment, which has barely made the news.  A suspected teenage male found dead near Torquay in October remains anonymous.

The case of D.B. Cooper still remains a total mystery and to date it is the only unsolved case of aviation piracy in U.S. history.

Sheridan Peterson (wiki), who was perhaps the last of the major suspects in the case, died in early this month aged 94. Several of the people who researched the case closely were determined it was him. Peterson never confessed but would frequently toy with the media.

The case will be 50 years old in November, as such likely it will never be solved.

Reward for Claudia Lawrence - missing university chef - has been cut and the search scaled down. Saw online speculation elsewhere suggesting the police know she did a runner. Personally, I think the opposite.

Claudia Lawrence's father dies without ever finding out the fate of his daughter.

It does appear they have only located her foot.  Perhaps this is a cunning ruse and Caddick is still hopping about in the Outback, giving bad financial advice.

I had a sinking feeling when they went missing.
 

The wreckage of an Indonesian Navy submarine missing since Wednesday has been found on the sea floor and all its 53 crew are confirmed dead, Indonesia military commander Air Chief Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto said Sunday.

The news came a day after debris believed to be from the KRI Nanggala-402 submarine was found floating about two miles from the submarine's last known location in the Bali Strait, leading military officials to change the vessel's status from missing to sunk.

So, more action in the search for Claudia Lawrence than we've seen in years. Might be a few more fish than usual served on local dinner tables as well.
