parties the girls leave the party just after 2 A.M cops believe Stacy and Susie walked through the front door of Cheryl's house on Gilmore Street about 15 minutes later that's where the Mystery Begins when a friend arrived at the house the next morning all three were missing despite their cars being parked outside authorities say there 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 is 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 is a male voice that made sexual innuendos and she hung up and immediately received a second call with also making sexual overtones unfortunately the crime scene was so

visibly distressed by the call she hung up walked away and was never seen again investigators believe that corium 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 very very little information comes back to us as 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 Dewey that's the worst number four 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 however he appeared frantic and allegedly sped away in his car two days later after being treated at the hospital for injuries Owens called in sick for Quinn it's very complex as you've reported on Mr Owens was a person of interest in the Quinn disappearance from 2000 and it those kind of things do make the case you know it does make the case much more complicated on January 6th Quinn's car was found abandoned with bizarre lipstick drawings on the back windshield and 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 halt 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 whole died in a tragic drowning he had been claimed by the Sea he knew and loved number two DB Cooper the story of DB Cooper is one of the most famous Unsolved Mysteries of all time a story involving air theft a cinematic escape and an ambiguous outcome the identity of D.B Cooper has been a mystery since November 24 1971. when a man calling himself Dan Cooper hijacked and threatened to blow up a passenger jet flying from Portland to Seattle Cooper is the pseudonym of a man who hijacked a Boeing 727 in 1971 and extorted two hundred thousand dollars in Ransom after securing the money Cooper opened the door mid-flight and jumped out into the cold Dark Night Never to be seen again police believe he left the 727 in the Flatlands of Oregon or Washington but they are still looking in four states even around the airport the only trace of Cooper remains a small cache of Ransom bells that was recovered in 1980. the portion of Ransom money a family discovered buried in sand while camping along a sandbar tinabar in the Columbia River in 1980. the rest of the money and DB himself remained missing many FBI agents claim that Cooper likely died in the jump but then again they could just be trying to save face while probability now points to DB Cooper's death without hard evidence many people today still believe that he survived before we continue be sure to subscribe to our

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 never witnessed her failure never recorded in 1937 she and Navigator Fred Noonan attempted to circumnavigate the globe however they disappeared over the Pacific near Hawaii and were never heard from again this grainy film records the last time Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan are ever seen alive countless theories have been put forth regarding their ultimate fate but no consensus has ever been made not a trace of wreckage was found floating there was no Mayday call there was no distress call for 70 years investigators have been trying to solve the Earhart Enigma it's most likely that Earhart and Noonan ran out of fuel and crashed into the Pacific while desperately looking for Howland Island it's a boring answer but the most realistic often are [Music] [Music]
