was no sign of a struggle in fact the front door was unlocked the tv was on their clothes were still there their purses and personal items untouched the friend found a broken porch light and she reportedly received an obscene phone call while there levitt's dog was also visibly agitated when mccall's mother later arrived to investigate she found a quote strange message on the answering machine but this was accidentally deleted it was a brief call and the person didn't identify themselves it was a male voice that made sexual innuendos and she hung up and immediately received a second

internal phones at 5 45 am she was clad in extra-large clothing and appeared visibly distressed by the call she hung up walked away and was never seen again investigators believe that coryum went overboard but how she went overboard remains a mystery some believe she jumped others believe she was pushed by a rogue wave and her parents believe she was thrown into the ocean a very very little information comes back to us as to what investigations found out and that's the frustrating side that we face really and that's partially because of the problems of where the ship was registered the official investigation has received loads of criticism and disney wonder has even been accused of covering up her disappearance i don't know what happened to her do we that's the worst number 4. zeb quinn it's a loss without closure with plenty of clues but no resolution on january 2nd 2000 18 year old zeb quinn met up with his friend robert owens after quinn received a notification on his pager

recently advised him against swimming on the afternoon of december 17 1967 holt went for a swim at australia's cheviot beach despite rough waters he was quickly swept out to sea and a massive search was undertaken in the area rescuers trundled their way to the search scene from surrounding communities police and military divers deployed to cheviot beach by helicopter crowds silently lined the roadway despite the country's best efforts no one was able to find any trace of holt a governmental inquiry was never launched owing to the wishes of holt's family this detail among other factors has led to numerous conspiracy theories in washington where secret servicemen keep the president under strict surveillance they were surprised that a prime minister could be allowed to swim without being closely watched despite countless claims to the contrary the official ruling stands that hold died in a tragic drowning he had been claimed by the sea he knew and loved number 2. d.b cooper the story

amelia earhart earhart was a popular and renowned aviator and the first woman to fly solo over the atlantic the magnificent thing about emilia is that in the eyes of the world she never died her fear
