♪ (eerie music) ♪ - (FBE) Today, we're gonna
be sharing some of the most popular unsolved mysteries,
and we're gonna be seeing what you think could've
happened in those cases. - Ah, okay. All right!
- I love it. I feel like I need
a magnifying glass. - (voice-over) The first clue
JonBenét Ramsey may be in danger... - Oh, JonBenét Ramsey!
Yeah, I've heard of that. - How did I know
this was gonna be the first?! - (voice-over) This ransom note
Patsy Ramsey says she found on the back staircase
of their Boulder, Colorado home. - Yeah. Nobody knows, you know?
- (voice-over) It is the day after Christmas 1996.
- (clicks tongue) That was the year I was born.
- (voice-over) $118,000 and threatens the immediate
execution of their daughter. - Absolutely horrible.
- This is such a sad story, though, whoever knows of that story.
- (voice-over) But the call to arrange the ransom exchange
never comes. - Jeez.
- (voice-over) A Boulder police detective tells
John Ramsey to... - This is terrifying.
- (John) I knew instantly when I opened the door
that I had found her. - (interviewer) You know she was dead?
- (John) No. - Yeah, right.
- I know that they're speculating that the brother did it.
- (FBE) JonBenét Ramsey was an American child beauty queen,
whose murder case is one of the most infamously unsolved cases.
A lengthy handwritten ransom note was found in the family's home
by JonBenét's mother. But eight hours later,
her father John found the girl's body in the basement of their own home.
- Yikes. Okay. Now it's making sense. - (FBE) her death
was ruled a homicide, but their have been many questions
as to by whom. So, the crime is still unsolved
and remains an open investigation. - Yeah, I remember when I was
learning about this case. One of the biggest points of evidence,
the handwritten note was from the notepad from their kitchen,
and it was the mom's handwriting. And they did handwriting samples,
and they found that it matched. - Who could it have been?
Somebody in the family. Could've been the dad.
Could've been the mom. Could've been some creep,
who was trying to get with her. - The one that I actually
found the most credible was the dad did it.
- I never ever wanna say that a parent would
do that to their kid, but that sometimes does happen.
- Unless there's 100% solid evidence, I could never--
'cause what if you're wrong? Then what? You just accused
a parent of killing their child, and they have to deal with that
on top of their dead child. ♪ (haunting music) ♪
- Interesting. See, this is why you're supposed
to press the button that says "Close." - It's so tense.
She looks worried. - Close the door!
If you're trying to hide from somebody,
what are you doing? - She's in the elevator.
Didn't they find her body in a water tank
on the top of the roof? - I think she might be running away
from someone trying to kill her? - This is so tense, dude.
The music isn't helping at all. - And then there's that whole thought,
you know, when you watch the-- she's hiding from someone.
Someone's stalking her. - Okay, the one thing
I'm wondering is how is the elevator door still wide open?
Wouldn't it have been closed by then? - What? You're just gonna disappear?
What is going on? - Ooh. What? What?
Did she get abducted? - I don't know the full tea on it.
What is the tea, Lauren? - (FBE) So, this was
the elevator footage of Elisa Lam, who was a Canadian student
who went missing while visiting Los Angeles.
But her body was later recovered from the water tank
on top of the Cecil Hotel on February 19th, 2013.
- What hotel? - (FBE) The Cecil Hotel.
- Is this hotel still in existence here in LA?
- (FBE) I think so. - Let's go!
- (FBE) Five days before her body's discovery,
the Los Angeles Police Department released the video
that you just watched of the last time
that she had been seen. - Wow.
- (FBE) The video kind of went viral with many viewers finding it
unsettling and wondering what she was looking at.
And her death was eventually ruled an accident, but overall,
there were many questions, like how she could've
gotten to the hotel roof without proper staff access
or how she could've gotten to the water towers,
which were 4x8 foot tall cylinders with no fixed ladder to the top.
- Yeah. That's-- it's creepy. It's weird to think--
you know, when I heard about that on the news originally,
I was like everybody else. It was like, "How the hell
did this happen?" - I could definitely see
how their would be foul play involved. Why is there no other camera footage
if it's a hotel? - I can't even imagine
the kind of fear that she went through,
'cause I'm pretty sure every female that's gonna look at the video
is like, "I've almost had to feel that" at the same time
where you're sitting there and you don't feel comfortable.
You don't feel safe in your own environment.
- (anchor) Up to 100 birds have been found dead
in a Swedish street just days after thousands of birds
inexplicably dropped out of the sky in the United States.
- That's weird. - I've seen this one.
- (anchor) ...the cold weather, even poisoning have all been...
- Oh. So, they all just... (thud) Like that? Oh my god.
- (anchor) Here's our science correspondent, Julian Rush.
- Interesting. - (Julian) First America, now Sweden.
- Jeez. - (Julian) ...dead in the snow
in the small town of Falkoping. It's as if Christmas had come again...
- Ew. - (Julian) ...for aficionados
of the mysterious... - Yuck.
- (Julian) And while in Arkansas, scientists are still looking...
- Oh my god. Oh! Don't run them over! Aww, okay.
- Oh my god. That would freak me out.
- (Julian) The apocalyptic isn't top of the list.
- Wow, that is actually really interesting.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. - Yeah, that really
does sound apocalyptic. I was playing The Last of Us
with you guys, and there were dead bodies everywhere,
so it's kinda like that. No, no, no, no, no!
Oh my god. Oh my god. - (FBE) On New Year's Eve 2020
in Beebe, Arkansas, 5,000 blackbirds freaked out
and slammed into buildings, telephone polls, trees,
dying instantly. - Okay. So, people are speculating
there's something more than a natural cause behind that?
- (FBE) Many people assume that it was caused by some fireworks,
which had spooked the birds. But it happened again
the very next year on New Year's Eve 2011 despite
a ban on the fireworks in Beebe to make sure that
this didn't happen again. This is a strange phenomenon that
has happened in different countries all over the world,
but the cause is still a mystery everywhere.
- Yeah, when you've got whales and dolphins and things
that run aground and-- yeah, there's weird things
going on in nature. - I'm very shocked, though,
that there isn't a scientist or scientists-- I mean,
it sounds like there are, but it doesn't seem like there's
any prevailing hypothesis or theory. - Maybe there was something
in the air or something during New Year's Eve,
where it made the birds just collapse and die,
'cause it was poisonous. - What was the cause?
You know, did they all fly into an alien spaceship
that's floating above us that we just don't see
'cause it's invisible and the government doesn't wanna
tell us about it? I have no idea.
Poor birdies. - (voice-over) Malaysia Airlines
flight 370 was a... - Ah. We've all heard of this one.
- Oh my god! I don't like mysterious airline stuff.
- (voice-over) ...to leave from Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia
at 12:35 AM and arrive... - Oh my gosh. (inhales shakily)
(sighs) - (voice-over) The disappearance
of the plane mid-flight and the lack of any conclusive answers
has guaranteed... - It's in the ocean.
- (voice-over) ...remains the greatest mystery
in aviation history. - That's interesting.
- (voice-over) The search for the plane
and the 239 people on board... - Yeah, they did.
They searched a lot. - (voice-over) Between March 18th
and April 28th, 19 ships and 345 sorties by military aircrafts
searched an area over 4.6 million square kilometers in size.
- Ahhhh! - (voice-over) ...entire country
of India and found nothing. - Dang.
- You expect technology and ships and for them to be searching for it
that they would've found more evidence.
- (FBE) Our last unsolved mystery was Malaysian Airlines flight 370,
which was an international passenger flight that disappeared
on March 8th, 2014. - Oof. 2014!
It wasn't that long ago. - (FBE) Several pieces of debris
confirmed to be from the aircraft washed ashore
in the western Indian Ocean in 2015 and 2016.
But after years of searching, nothing more has been found.
- So, if you're really into the conspiracy theory,
then somebody planted the pieces of the aircraft as evidence
to cover up the fact that they had really-- you know.
I'm not much for conspiracy theories. I think that there's probably
a more logical explanation. - Having no information
about this is crazy, because our technology is so advanced,
our radar, our planes are advanced. They're meant to not crash.
- How terrifying! I hate when we can't
complete the puzzle. My brain right now is like,
"Error. Error." I need their souls to have
the justice and satisfaction of knowing their story.
I think the saddest part is what is that story?
Do I wanna know too, though? Oof. That's sad.
- (FBE) Well, finally, what is the craziest unsolved mystery
that you want to know the reasoning behind?
- The fact that somebody ate my food in my refrigerator and nobody
wants to tell me who ate it. - I wanna know the truth about OJ.
I mean, we all know OJ killed his wife.
But I want him to admit it! - I wanna know about
the whole Princess Diana case. Okay, I know John Mulaney
might have done something about it, but no, I actually just wanna know,
oh, what actually transpired. - Everyone has a little bit
of curiosity in them, where they wanna know
what happens next or what the story is.
It's intrinsic to human nature to always ask questions and just know.
And I don't know why actually. Now I'm asking
that question. Why are we so
curious about everything? - Thanks for watching this episode
