Top 30 Cryptic & Disturbing Mysteries from 2021 | Solved & Unsolved Cases Compilation

from the outside looking in ramon souza was  living the dream the former pro boxer was doing   very well for himself back in 2009 he owned a  gym in houston texas was raking in the dough   was attending parties with the rich and famous  and best of all was about to marry the woman   of his dreams lulu dorantes a mexican  living in the usa on a visitor's visa   family life suited ramon well as all of his  friends would tell you the guy was made to   be a husband and as ramon himself put it his  loyal fiancee lulu treated him like a king   as one family friend said she was great she'd  bring him coffee and get up every morning with   him and make him breakfast i just thought it  was really neat their relationship you know   they got along really well everyone  thought lulu was the model partner   kind generous and loving but there was  one person who wasn't so keen on her   ramon's daughter mia mia knew that the  face that lulu showed the world was really   a mask and that beneath that warm exterior was a  cold-hearted woman who only cared about two things   money and herself lulu hated ramon spending  money on mia or any of his other children   for that matter in lulu's mind ramon's free time  and money was reserved for her and her children   mia would complain about this to her father  but her words usually fell on deaf ears   rahman had been taken in by lulu's charms long  ago and for the most part he sided with his wife   all he had ever seen was the good  in her the mask that she wore   by march of oh nine mir and her father  had drifted further and further apart   to the point that when ramon and lulu got married  she didn't even attend their wedding but it seems   that mia wasn't the only one who knew about lulu's  dark side just after the couple exchanged their   vows and were legally wed lulu's mother came  up to ramon and whispered something in his ear   now she's your trouble nonsense thought ramon  my wife's no trouble at all i can trust her   by 2010 ramon's business was doing so well that he  opened up a second gym in houston this time with   his wife lulu by his side she worked alongside  him as a personal trainer and also took care of   the books it wasn't long before the couple were  making twenty thousand dollars a month in profit   but despite the sweetness of all that cash this  was when their relationship started to sour lulu   began telling her friends that ramon was lazy and  that she was doing the lion's share of the work   whether that was true or not lulu evidently  decided she was entitled to a bigger cut   of the profits the gym was getting busier  ramon was taking on more and more clients   but for some reason the gym's earnings weren't  increasing he began to suspect that his once   trusted wife was stealing money from the  business his suspicions weren't misplaced   lulu was skimming extra money and was using it to  pay for a divorce attorney she filed for divorce   and made baseless claims that ramon was violent  and physically aggressive towards her even so   the couple continued to live together during their  separation albeit on different floors of the house this is where things took a  supremely dark and unexpected term   the divorcing couple had a mutual friend named  mundo while mundo was at their gym he happened   to overhear a conversation that lulu was  having with her daughter of all people   inside the gym's office lulu was saying that one  of her customers knew a hitman a guy from mexico   who chops people up for money and saying how they  could potentially use him to make ramon disappear   that way the two gyms would be hers  and hers alone as well as the house   all of ramon's assets and the cash  from his life insurance policy   after hearing that mundo approached lulu  in private and said that he himself knew   someone who could do the job for her instead  someone reliable professional trustworthy   lulu trusted mundo and told him  to set things up with the assassin   but much like rahman shouldn't have trusted  lulu lulu shouldn't have trusted mundo   not about to let his friend be murdered  mundo left the gym and called ramon   hey man lulu wants to kill you he said  before explaining the entire situation   ramon was in disbelief he knew his wife  had fallen out of love with him sure   but he didn't think she'd take things that far  in his mind hiring a contract killer to take   out your spouse was something that only happened  in hollywood movies not in real life not to him   ramon went straight to the police and asked them  to help him but there was very little they could   do without any evidence so mundo and ramon  decided to hatch their own sting operation   using disposable phones the two of them  would message one another about the fake hit   mundo playing himself ramon playing his own  killer mundo then showed these messages to   lulu who in turn became more confident  that this contract killer was legit   it also made it less likely that she'd go  ahead and hire a real killer in the meantime   though that of course didn't stop ramon from  looking over his shoulder during those days   he lived in constant terror that  someone was already out to get him   and even slept with a pistol under his pillow  just in case and remember during this time lulu   was still living in the same house as him all  he could do was play dumb and hope for the best   the real turning point in nesting was when mundo  secretly recorded this conversation with lulu now with lulu on the hook and with recorded  evidence that she genuinely wanted to kill   her husband the authorities were finally able to  get involved they set up a meeting between lulu   and a hitman a hitman played by an undercover  detective on the night of july 20th 2015 lulu   drove to an empty parking lot bringing with her  500 dollars as a down payment for the hit as well   as roman's own watches and jewelry in a sense  she was making ramon pay for his own execution   lulu met the undercover agent paid  him and drove off into the night   with cash exchanged the cops could now prove  intent but to really give them an airtight   case there was one last thing they had to do  they had to watch makeup tutorials on youtube   i'm not even joking from those makeup videos the  detectives learned how to apply some realistic   looking makeup onto ramon's face and make it look  like he was a dead body they had him lay in a   shallow grave with a fake hole in his head and  took a photo of him pretending to be dead then   had him lay low for three days so lulu would  think he really was taken care of nobody knew   where i was even my family said ramon everybody  was looking for me i was very very upset rage and   sadness all the emotions came through me on july  23rd a final meeting was set up between lulu and   the undercover agent posing as ramon's assassin  this time they were going to film the entire thing   lulu arrived just as planned and  stepped into the undercover agent's car   it's done said the agent we got him today and this  morning lulu paid him a thousand more dollars and   after receiving it the agent took out his phone  and showed her the photo of ramon dead in a ditch   the dumbass fought said the agent he fought  replied lulu she then laughed at the thought of it   there was no sense of remorse or regret or even  shock as she stared blankly at the picture of   her husband she was ice cold the agent recounted  ramon's final moments and how he had pleaded for   his life well he won't wake up anymore lulu said  before laughing psychotically again she promised   to get the killer the three thousand dollars she  still owed him then exited the vehicle and drove   off once more the following morning officers went  to the gym and asked lulu if they could talk to   her in private for a few minutes they acted as  if they were doing a wellness check on ramon   and asked lulu as she knew where he was lulu acted  coolly feigning ignorance as if she hadn't just   tried to have ramon killed finally the cops ended  their charade and told lulu she was under arrest   as they led her to the cruiser  outside it finally dawned on her   she'd been duped with so much evidence against  her lulu took a 20-year plea deal she also had   to give her share of the gym and house to  her still very much alive husband ramon   the detectives determined that rahman  hadn't physically hurt lulu like she had   claimed and didn't pursue any charges  related to those baseless assertions   the former pro-boxer had just survived the biggest  fight of his life and with his now ex-wife's plot   boiled and her true nature exposed he was able to  start repairing the damage to his own reputation   as well as his relationship with his  daughter mia the one thing he'll likely   never be able to fix however is his ability  to trust any romantic partners ever again now how could you resist a smile like that this  interesting looking gentleman is satoshi uematsu   a young man who recently became infamous  throughout japan for all the wrong reasons fresh   out of college satoshi began working as a teacher  at an elementary school but quickly decided that   kids were much too stressful to deal with they  had too much energy we're too hard to control   as such at the young age of 23 he left the  school to take on his new role as a carer at   yamaurien a residential care center for people  with intellectual and physical disabilities   set in almost eight acres of beautiful woodland  in sagamihara kanigawa the center was home to 149   residents their ages ranging from 19 to 75. all of  their conditions varied wildly some of them able   to exercise and enjoy the stunning surroundings  others completely unable to get out of bed   it was the latter that satoshi took an  interest in in february 2016 after working   at the facility for three years satoshi  suddenly resigned without any explanation   his colleagues were surprised the now 26 year old  was considered a diligent hard-working considerate   and friendly young man and his resignation  seemingly came out of nowhere and was perceived   as strangely out of character and rude others  were sad to see him go but weren't surprised   satoshi's attitude and entire personality  had started changing in the past few months   sure that could have been down to job  dissatisfaction but they sensed it was something   more something deeper the same month he left the  care home satoshi traveled to tokyo and attempted   to deliver a handwritten letter to japan's speaker  of the house of representatives taramori oshima he   went directly to oshima's house to do so but was  intercepted by security guards and turned away   the next day he tried and failed again and  so left his letter with oshima security   oshima eventually got around to  reading it it was a horrifying read   the letter talked about how it should be legal  for disabled people to be killed at the request   of their guardians and how satoshi needed oshima's  help to deliver the message to japan's then prime   minister shinzo abe in the first half of  the letter satoshi wrote i envision a world   where a person with multiple disabilities can be  euthanized with an agreement from their guardians   of course when it's difficult for that person  to carry out household and social activities   these slayings he said would be for the sake of  japan and world peace bizarrely or more bizarrely   i should say the letter detailed how these deaths  would benefit the global economy and quote unquote   prevent world war iii the second half of the  letter was much more disturbing than the first   however in that second half he detailed his plan  to break into two facilities and said that he   planned to kill 460 people he said that he'd tie  up the staff and wouldn't hurt them and would   slay all the patients quickly and painlessly  as not to make them suffer too much there was   nothing to worry about however he promised to  turn himself in after all the carnage was over   at the bottom of the letter satoshi left his name  contact information and home address needless to   say oshima didn't deliver the message to prime  minister abe and instead gave it to the police   satoshi was apprehended and committed to a mental  hospital for 12 days after which he was deemed   not to be a threat and released the decision  to release him would have dire consequences   on july 26 2016 at 2 10 am satoshi took a trip to  his old workplace the sakui yamaurien care center   using a hammer he broke in through  a glass window on the bottom floor   he tied up one of the only staff  members on duty and took their keys   he then made his way down the hallway going from  room to room stabbing each sleeping patient in   the neck with a sharp blade that he had brought  with him at 2 30 am a full 20 minutes after he   had broken in other staff members finally called  the authorities and reported what was happening   due to the facility's remote location it was  going to take them some time to get there   at 2 50 am satoshi was caught on camera  leaving the building 10 minutes after   that the police finally arrived and found no  trace of him anywhere in the surrounding area   29 ambulances also arrived at the scene  and saved as many residents as they could   in total 19 patients died from  their neck wounds 10 female 9 male   the youngest deceased victim was only 19 years old  a further 26 were injured 13 of them critically   while satoshi stayed true to his promise  and two hours after his massacre he turned   himself into the authorities bringing with  him a bag full of sharp and bloody blades   the incident was immediately recognized as one of  the worst attacks committed on japanese soil in   modern history all of satoshi's former co-workers  were in disbelief when they heard the news some of   them knew that he had become slightly unhinged but  they never suspected he'd do something like this satoshi's defense lawyers argued that the  young man wasn't mentally fit to stand trial   according to them the young killer often  partook in let's call it the devil's lettuce   now culturally speaking the japanese don't view  the green herb the same way we do in the west and   the defense team tried to suggest that puffing the  magic dragon had made satoshi crazed a murderous   as such he was examined and it was determined  that he was competent and able to stand trial   that didn't stop satoshi from trying to act as  crazy as possible during his time in court however   and at one point he even tried to bite  his own finger off in front of the judges   his antics were all in vain on march 16th  2020 nearly four years after taking 19 lives   satoshi was sentenced to death by hanging though  he said he wouldn't appeal and that he accepted   the sentence the remorseless satoshi was convinced  he didn't deserve it claiming that people unable   to communicate and care for themselves  quote unquote create unhappiness in society   and that they have no heart since there's still  a big stigma surrounding people with disabilities   in japan satoshi was genuinely surprised  that his actions didn't receive more support   as of making this video the date of satoshi  uematsu's execution is yet to be said thirty-year-old stannis lavrashetnikov was  a youtuber from russia who gained a small   fanbase with his video game related content  which he uploaded to his channel staz reflay   when he wasn't making gaming videos you could  usually find stats live streaming on the site or   more accurately trash streaming trash streams are  pretty much bottom of the barrel entertainment   where viewers pay the streamer money to do  embarrassing things on camera as you can imagine   depending on the sordidness of the audience and  the brazenness of the streamer these types of   live shows can go south pretty quickly with the  internet being what it is that happens quite often   and happened regularly on the stass replay  channel stass had a reputation for being cruel   to his quote quote-unquote co-stars during the  live streams doing things like pepper spraying   his girlfriend multiple times forcing another  man to drink oil or for the sake of donations   even still nobody expected things to go as far  as they did during the russians final live stream   on december 2nd of last year stass and his  girlfriend valentina were streaming live   alongside their mutual friend marina to begin with  they stream themselves eating drinking and just   hanging out things eventually took a turn for the  worse however when a viewer suddenly paid stats   one thousand dollars this payment came with  a request i want you to beat valentina and   lock her outside in the freezing cold this is  when the stream became uncomfortable viewing   seeing how much the guy had paid  stass wanted to honour the request   the couple began screaming and arguing with  each other and things escalated to the point   where valentina grabbed a blade from the kitchen  and held it out in front of her for protection   undeterred stass tore a full of valentina's  clothes poured cold water all over her and began   dragging her towards the balcony she desperately  tried to grab a jacket but stass refused to let   her he tossed her outside without anything to keep  her warm and locked the balcony doors this being   moscow in the wintertime the temperature outside  was sub-zero around minus eight degrees celsius   the stream continued with just us  and marina though all the while   valentina could be heard banging on the  door outside begging to be let back in   the marina appeared concerned stass was apathetic  to her please and he left valentina outside on   the veranda for over two hours he wanted his  anonymous benefactor to get his money's worth   time went by and marina left  leaving stass alone in the apartment   when he finally went to let valentina back inside  he found her unconscious her skin a whitish blue   with the camera still rolling he dragged  her back inside for all his viewers to see   finally realizing what had happened he began  trying to wake valentino up and could be heard   saying things on stream like valya are you alive  my bunny what's wrong with you bunny come on tell   me something i'm worrying damn i can't feel a  heartbeat he continued to try and revive her   feebly giving her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation  but by that point it was far too late   valentina had perished in the cold she was just 28  years old she was in the early stages of pregnancy   it was later confirmed that a blow to the head  from stass may have contributed to her demise   in the final stages of the livestream stars picked  up his lifeless girlfriend and placed her on the   sofa behind him before sitting back down in  his gamer chair to address his viewers directly   guys no pulse she's pale she's not breathing  he then finally decided to call an ambulance   he continued to stream while he waited for help  to arrive playing music and zooming the camera   in on valentina's face he was still streaming  when the medics arrived to pronounce valentina   they asked us to stop streaming while they worked  but he didn't he streamed the whole thing by this   point he had over 1500 viewers still tuned in  and continued to receive donations from people   telling him not to end the stream he obliged them  and continued streaming for an additional two   hours after the medics left with valentina  the authorities later came to pick him up as this all happened so recently the case  against das is still ongoing and is currently   being held by the authorities unfortunately  due to russia's lacks laws if it's deemed   in court that his actions led to valentino's  passing he only faces up to two years in prison   he still maintains that he  didn't do anything wrong unfortunately though the stats replay channel's  now gone there are still many other channels like   his that continue to make this type of horrific  content especially in russia as long as there's   a market for life torment these types of trash  streamers will continue to exist it's unsettling   to think how many ordinary people there are who  get a kick out of watching this type of stream   nobody will ever admit it i guarantee that  it's far more people than you'd like to believe on the first of may 2014 88 year old world war  ii veteran russell dermond was going about his   business in the small georgia town of edenton  it was two days before kentucky derby day   a widely celebrated calendar date among a certain  section of older folks follow the mason-dixon line   and every year the german's  neighbours threw a party to celebrate   having grown up in central new jersey russell  had volunteered for the u.s navy during world   war ii and had served with distinction in  america's atlantic fleet he met his wife   shirley around christmas time of 1950 and the  couple went on to have four children together   the couple were still very much in love in 2014  so when shirley asked him to pop into town and   pick up a few bits and pieces for the party  russell was every part the dutiful husband   yet little did the townsfolk and store clerks  know that this was the last time anyone would see   russell alive the day of the party the neighbors  quickly noted that russell and shirley weren't   there they'd never missed a year yet but although  their failure to attend was worrying their friends   and neighbors told themselves that there must have  been an innocent rational explanation it wasn't   until almost a week after russell was last seen  that someone thought to head over to the dermond   household and see if they were okay after getting  no reply from ringing the front doorbell the   concerned neighbor happened to try the doorknob  and found the door to be completely unlocked   at first the house seemed empty and it took  quite a while to properly explore the 3   200 square foot 1 million property it was  only when neighbors entered the house's   spacious garage that they discovered anything  of note and the discovery was a horrifying one   russell durman's headless corpse was lying in  a pool of blood on the floor of the two-car   garage his severed head was nowhere to be seen  terrified by this the neighbor rushed back   home to call the police and soon their quiet  rural community was practically overrun with   uniformed officers they closed off the house and  began combing it for evidence 87 year old shirley   dermond was nowhere to be found and neither  was a russell durman's severed head it soon   became apparent that his killer must have taken  it possibly as some kind of trophy nothing had   been stolen there didn't appear to be any forced  entry nothing to give police an idea of motive   investigators made every effort to track shirley  down but couldn't find a single trace of her   it was initially suspected that she had been  taken by her husband's killer however just one   week later her body was discovered floating in  a nearby lake by a group of horrified fishermen   her killer or killers had attempted  to weigh her down with concrete blocks   but her bloated corpse had broken free from  its bonds before drifting to the surface   forensic examiners determined that she had  been killed by strikes from a blunt object   and that she hadn't been killed in the dermond  family home to this day russell durman's head   has never been found taking his head might have  been an act of practicality rather than perversity   you see it's possible that russell durman's killer  actually murdered him by shooting him in the head   and if the bullet was of a low enough caliber  there's a chance it didn't actually exit his skull   if that's the case an intelligent killer  may have considered the ballistic evidence   in which case they were faced with  a very gristly prospect indeed   saw off the man's head and take it  with them or leave behind the evidence   given the presence of gunshot residue found  in the dermond home there's enough conclusive   proof that a gunshot was the cause of death but  the frightening reality is that it's actually   more likely the killer removed russell's head as a  trophy as surely they'd dig around for the bullet   pull it out then dispose of the butchered  head to distance themselves from the murder   yet despite countless searches russell  durman's severed head has never been recovered   detectives began to intensively question the  german's friends and family they also scoured   the couple's financial records for anything  that might put them on the killer's trail   russell a king golfer had owned several outlets  of the chain restaurant hardy's in atlanta georgia   and had gotten rather wealthy in the process it  was purported that russell may have made himself a   few enemies along the way but not a single person  close to him could think of who that might be   shirley dermond had been a housewife she had  enjoyed gardening playing bridge and doing   crossware puzzles they lived a quiet life they  were adored by almost everyone who knew them   so why were they targeted in such a brutal attack   in 2016 the couple's son keith said that he hadn't  given up hope of catching his parents killer   but a statement he gave to the media  had a distinctly fatalistic tone to it   it's very hard to catch somebody when you don't  even know their motive you have no clue as to   what you're looking for i always thought  that you know maybe it was some kind of   serial killer kind of thing just because of the  weird things the guy did but a lot of the times   serial killers are very hard to catch they know  what they're doing keith added that his last best   hope is the police linking his parents murder to  another but so far nothing has come up as a match   it's been seven years since russell  and shirley dermond were murdered   seven long years of grieving wandering and begging  for justice and in that time a person has been   free to roam the state of georgia with the memory  of beheading a pensioner locked away in their mind maura murray was a 21 year old nursing student  at the university of massachusetts amherst on   february 9 2004 she disappeared from the face  of the earth after getting into a car accident   on route 112. the events leading up to her  vanishing are both cryptic and suspicious to   say the least and transform this from an ordinary  missing person's case to a truly intriguing albeit   bone-chilling mystery just before leaving  her university campus that fateful afternoon   maura emailed her professors informing them that  she was taking a week off school due to a loss   in the family that was a lie nobody in maura's  family had passed on this got people thinking   that maybe maura was running from something  or someone even before that day maura had been   acting unusually three months before she went  missing maura had been caught using a stolen   credit card to pay for meals at restaurants four  days prior to vanishing a university supervisor   noticed that maura had broken down in tears  when they approached her they said that maura   was just completely zoned out no reaction at  all totally unresponsive two days prior maura   accidentally smashed her father's car into a  guard rail after possibly consuming a few drinks   a few hours before the incident maura  withdrew 280 from an atm for unknown reasons   sometime between 4 and 5 pm on the day of her  disappearance she set off in her car she made   no calls to tell anyone about her planned  destination it was some time after 7 pm   that maura crashed her vehicle into a snowbank  the authorities arrived at the scene her car's   windshield was cracked the airbags were deployed  but there was no sign of maura murray anywhere   expensive items such as diamond jewelry were found  inside the car along with empty bottles maura's   triple a card and a book called not without  peril a guide to climbing in the white mountains   since that collision maura's whereabouts and  well-being remain unknown she simply disappeared   from the face of the earth never to be seen or  heard from again some believe personal problems   got the better of her and she went missing on  her own accord others believe that something more   nefarious happened to her that she was chased down  by some obsessive stalker or that she caught a   ride with the wrong guy for the longest time there  were no developments in the case then exactly   eight years after maura vanished this video  titled happy anniversary was uploaded to youtube oh hahahaha that's the whole video this old guy just stares  into the camera laughing then gives a knowing wink   the words happy anniversary are  then plastered over the screen   this happy anniversary video was uploaded on the  8th anniversary of maura murray's disappearance   it was uploaded by a user named 112  dirtbag maura had vanished on route   112 and her father had famously used the word  dirtbags to describe whoever had taken her   this was no coincidence this old man wasn't  just making an anniversary video for his wife   and then suddenly remembered something  really funny this was intentional   it didn't take long before other users started  making these connections words started spreading   that 112 dirtbag was responsible for whatever  happened to maura murray and this video was   uploaded to torment her family laughing at the  fact that he'd gotten away with what he'd done   this was brought to the attention of the  authorities and an investigation began   despite taking the video off the site the guy  behind the channel a man named alden olsen also   from massachusetts was tracked down and questioned  people thought this was going to be a huge break   in the case in actuality the whole thing was a  hoax he was just some old codger who'd become   enthralled by morris disappearance and wanted to  insert himself into it in some way it was all just   a joke a big funny joke good one olden to this  day we still don't know what happened to maura   i'm inclined to believe that the loss in her  family she was talking about was in reference   to herself she then either started a new life  somewhere else or ended the one she already had   still even though this dirtbag wasn't responsible  for her disappearance it's completely possible   another dirtbag was we don't have any answers so  all we can do is speculate and hope for the best a big shout out to reddit user hey lurker here for  making one of the only english write-ups of this   next mysterious incident there's something about  the open ocean that's inherently unsettling to a   lot of people we all know that the sea can be a  cruel mistress and that in her dark deaths she   also harbors a lot of equally dark secrets well  here's one of them the year was 1968 the place   la palma island in the canaries more specifically  tatacorte a small town which many transport ships   and fishing vessels called home one such ship  at the time was el fausto a ship large enough   sturdy enough and fast enough that it was  used for both fishing and transport purposes   on july 20th of that year she set sail to el  hierro another island only 50 miles south of   la palma bringing with her a cargo of agricultural  explosives three experienced sailors were on board   two brothers ramon and aliberto hernandez  and their cousin miguel acosta all of them   in their forties the men were familiar with el  fausto having crewed her many times in the past   after a seven hour long journey alfasto finally  reached its destination and unloaded its delivery   while there the three-man crew and a man named  julio garcia a fellow native of la palma julio   had just gotten word that his daughter back home  was extremely sick and he needed to get back to la   palma as soon as possible he approached the crew  of el pasto and told them about his predicament   since the next liner back to alabama  wouldn't depart for another two days   the three sailors agreed to let julio  come back with them free of charge   on july 21st at 2 30 a.m el alfausto and the four  men set off on another seven hour voyage back   to datacorte well though seven hours passed  and alfausto still hadn't arrived back home   that wasn't too unusual they could have  been delayed for a number of reasons   but as the hours passed with no sign of the ship  or the four men aboard her the sailors family   started to become worried alfausto's owner  rafael acosta relative of the three-man crew   sent another ship out along the exact same route  to search for them surely this boat would come   across the el faster on its way right wrong  the waters on the way to el hierro were clear   and there was no sign of el fausto sailing back  to la palma that didn't make any sense ramon   alberto and miguel had made that same journey  countless times in much harsher conditions in   fact from sailing conditions that day were almost  perfect the sea was calm and visibility clear   there was only one explanation alfausto  must have gone off route for some reason   but why elfausto and her crew were immediately  reported missing and all other vessels in the   area were asked to keep an eye out for the ship  planes were sent to scout the ocean from above   it was only a matter of time before el faster  was found everyone thought that prediction   turned out to be overly optimistic despite it  being a clear day neither the planes nor any   of the other boats in the area found any sign of  elfausto it was like it had vanished into thin air   a horrible thought occurred to everyone  back on la palma el fausto must have sunk four days passed with no updates just as everyone  was starting to come to terms with the loss of all   four souls aboard el fausto the search and rescue  team received some amazing news a british ship had   reportedly just spotted al fausto floating 120  miles west of la palma how it wound up so far of   course was anyone's guess but the british reported  that all four men on board were still alive though   obviously a little worse for wear and said that  they'd be happy to tow them back home to tatacorte   for some bizarre reason the crew  on el fausto said no thank you   the british were confused of course and asked what  sort of mechanical problems the ship had suffered   nothing replied el fasto's crew the boat was fine  their communications were fine nothing was wrong   all four men appeared to be of sound mind and  weren't delirious or confused about the situation   they once again rejected the british  offer to be towed back home and instead   simply asked for enough fuel to make it back home  on their own the british gave them enough fuel   food and water to sustain them for 18 more hours  more than enough to make the journey back home   when news of this broke back in tatacorte  the locals all began to celebrate   their fall lost sons would be home by sunset  everyone gathered at the port to welcome back   the lost men including of course all their family  members there was drinking and music and dancing   and a lot of confusion when the sun finally did  said and there was still no sign of el fausto   the crew's families waited on the dock all night   by morning it became clear that the  ship was now missing for a second time   planes and ships were sent from the spanish  mainland all with one clear objective   find the el fausto the government spent over  two million dollars on the rescue effort   but just like before the elusive hunk  of metal had vanished without a trace   after two weeks of searching they gave up the hunt   it wouldn't be until october 9th two and a half  months after the ship had first gone missing that   an italian vessel actually came across al fausto  floating in the middle of the north atlantic ocean   nobody was on board not ramon  not alberto not miguel not julio   the ship was in perfect working condition  there were no signs of fighting or damage   no records or logbooks no indication  about what had happened whatsoever   not on the top deck at least one of the italian  crew members climbed down into el fausto's engine   room what he found inside almost made him  throw up on the floor in front of him was   the unclothed partially mummified body of a man a  radio and notebook were found resting next to him   many pages in this notebook have been torn out  but one remaining page in particular stood out   spanish writing covered the page and whatever  it said it appeared to be the end page of a much   longer message the italians told the spanish they  would tow alfausto to venezuela and from there   would send them all the evidence they had here's  where another strange twist occurred in the case   two days later the spanish authorities  received a telegram from the italian ship   according to them while on route to venezuela  el fausto suddenly and inexplicably sunk   the ship had been lost to the sea taking  with it the half mummified body on board   and most of the evidence well that didn't make  any sense the ship was reportedly in perfect   condition how had this happened nobody seemed  to know the remaining evidence that was found   on el fausto eventually arrived in la palma julio  garcia's wife recognized the notebook immediately   and confirmed that the message had been written in  her husband's handwriting indicating that the body   most likely belonged to julio he had scrawled a  goodbye message to his wife in the notebook though   it was clear that the beginning pages had been  removed the message ended with the cryptic words   don't ever tell our children about what happened  to me you know that god wanted this vape for me   love you it's clear from those words that  julio knew he was about to lose his life   though since his remains are now somewhere at  the bottom of the atlantic we'll never know how   it came to end for sure why were the beginning  pages of his message missing what did they say   did they contain an explanation about what had  happened where were ramon aliberto and miguel   why had el fasto been found so far of course why  did the men reject the help of the british ship   that found them why did alfas to itself suddenly  sink without any further explanation from the   italians why does none of this seem to make  any sense to this day nobody knows the answers   to any of those questions many theories have been  thrown around none of them particularly convincing   no matter how you look at it the mystery of el  fausto doesn't make any sense with the alfausto   now at the bottom of the sea the truth about what  happened on board will probably never serve us china has more than its fair share of wild  and disturbing cases so that's for sure   but here's one that really takes the cake  shenzhen yin and shen chang ping were two brothers   who despite being born eight years apart were both  extremely close they did everything together work   relax kill women and eat their livers travel  the shens are infamous in their native homeland   but their antics are basically unheard of in  the west so let's start from the beginning   it all began in 1999 at the time  chang yin was 23 and chang ping 15.   they started an auto business together in  lanjar city a venture that failed spectacularly   the shen brothers had lost all of their money  and quickly decided that an honest day's work   wasn't worth their time or energy so rather than  getting other jobs to recoup their losses the   brothers took to robbing other local businesses  instead it was in september of 99 when changin   the eldeshem brother took things a step too  far and ended up killing a man during a holdup   this being china changing knew that if he was  caught he'd quickly be meeting with the firing   squad as such he took his victims money told  his brother what had just happened and the   pair of them fled to the city of hanan for a time  they laid low and stayed out of trouble but that   turned out merely to be the calm before the real  storm in 2003 the brothers returned to lanjar city   while there they met a woman offering  her services on the street we'll call her   woman number one they paid this woman to  come back to their apartment with them   once inside the brothers tied her up took her  credit and debit cards and forced her to give   them the pin numbers if she didn't do what they  said they would kill her of course she told them   it didn't matter the brothers killed her all the  same by squeezing her neck till all the life in   her was snuffed out they then dismembered her  body and disposed of her somewhere in the city   it's unclear whether this was the first  time the brothers had pulled such a stunt   but it certainly wasn't the last five  months later the shem brothers employed   the service of another girl on the  street woman number two lee chun ling   just like before they paid lee to come back to  their apartment for a fun and profitable night   she entered and was immediately tied up and  ordered to give them her pin numbers lee   knew that if she complied she was as good as  dead instead of begging for her life however   she made a deal with the shens if they let her go  she promised to return with more victims for them   for some reason the brothers  were convinced by her words   they untied her and let her go telling her to  come back soon with some gullible fresh meat   you're probably thinking she must have been a  good actress to talk her way out of that situation   thing is she wasn't acting a few days later  lee really did return to the brother's   apartment with a new victim woman number three  while he actually did this remains a mystery   the shem brothers had tricked her into their  clutches and were going to take her life   but when she was released and physically  apart from them for some bizarre reason   she didn't run to the police even more  bizarrely she was actually now helping them   woman number three was bound and her guards taken  the shem brothers then ordered lee to kill her   lee obliged once number three was dead the shenz  cut out one of her kidneys buried it outside   and then dissolved her body in acid until they  could successfully flush her down the toilet   from here on out lee decided to team up with  the shem brothers the reason for this is unclear   perhaps they had made a deal with her offering  her a cut of the money they took from each of   their victims perhaps they had some dirt on her  and were blackmailing her into compliance perhaps   she was just scared whatever the case the duo were  now a trio and even though lee was free to leave   the apartment by herself and hunt for new victims  she never once tried to contact the authorities or   simply run away and go into hiding it's not like  the brothers would have been able to find her   still she played her part and over the next five  months the three musketeers or more fittingly   mutilators robbed and killed three more women  the exact details of these slayings haven't   been reported on but it's safe to assume  they were all similar to the previous ones   now here's where things get really messed  up lee and the shen brothers left lanshaw   city and moved into an apartment together in  taiyuan a different city over 600 miles away   maybe things were getting too hot in lan  chao and they needed a new base of operations   while there they hired yet another woman to come  to their home woman number seven zhao mei ying   when she arrived lee and the brothers forced  her to call another woman to come over   a sort of take-out service worker this  worker woman number eight promptly arrived   big mistake she was quickly tied up  and zhao was given a blade and told   that she had to slay her colleague and  it was either that or be slain herself   she chose the former option and the takeout worker  was taken out after woman number eight had been   slashed to pieces xiao was told to dispose of  her in a meat processor that's right their latest   victim was turned into human sausages which  were subsequently flushed down the toilet just   like lee zhao joined up with the shenz helping  them slaughter their way from ranks to riches   together the four of them moved from city to  city claiming lives and credit cards as they went   with each new kill they moved to a  new city in a different prefecture   making it extremely difficult for the  authorities to link all of the cases together   during this time both lee and zhao were  given a lot of autonomy and were free to   go off on their own and do whatever they  pleased with their down time it was clear   that they weren't being held captive so why  did they decide to stay with the brothers after slaying three more women the gang ended  up in the city of xixon and got themselves a   new apartment this is where things started to  unravel while they were there something made   zhao snap either she had enough of her part in  all this chaos or the shem brothers had pushed   things too far or she was denied a cut of the  money or she suddenly developed a conscience   we don't know but she did finally  decide to go to the police   she told them everything that had happened  including the part that she had played   the cops quickly paid a visit to the shen's  apartment they found lee inside she was arrested   and eventually confessed to everything as well  the shen brothers however were nowhere to be seen   despite the authorities actively looking for  them shenzhen yin and shen chang ping remained   in the city of xi jiaozhuang and even managed  to get themselves two more female henchmen   dusu wrong 23 and an unnamed female only 16.  after receiving an anonymous tip in august 2004   the cops raided the apartment where  the shem brothers were now living   inside they found the pair of them along with  dussuron and their unnamed accomplice they were   in the middle of dissolving another  victim literally caught in the act   the stolen bank cards of 11 known victims  were found during a search of their apartment the shem brothers confessed to everything  the robberies the murders the disposals heck   they even took things a step further and confessed  to eating the livers of most of their victims   they said that their motive for doing all  of this wasn't money it was simply because   they were quote unquote evil yeah not exactly  building a strong defense case for themselves   unsurprisingly they were found guilty they all  were in fact lee zhao do and the unnamed youngster   the four female accomplices got 20 years apiece   the shem brothers were sentenced to death they  faced the firing squad in 2005 and in navali   the shem brothers reign of terror finally came  to an end they were 29 and 21 respectively   although this case has officially been solved  there are still so many answered questions that   just baffle me most obviously why did all of their  accomplices join forces with the self-described   evil brothers i know they must have been  scared but they were all allowed to roam   freely and they always returned to the shens  rather than running away and calling for help   perhaps they all feared the repercussions of their  actions and were bound to the brothers that way   maybe the brothers have filmed them when  they forced them to kill their victims   giving them leverage over them this being china  there isn't much documentation on their side of   the story meaning we're all left to speculate  about why they didn't all make a run for it when   they had the chance another thing we just don't  know is how many victims the shens actually had   sure all the accomplices have confessed  to the slayings that they were a part of   but the shens may have been active well  before coming into contact with any of them   they may have had other accomplices before them as  well or maybe even killed other people when their   accomplices weren't around the answers to all  of these questions and many others pertaining to   this case remain unknown to the general public  and are likely to remain unknown forevermore on the 3rd of january 2006 dana dostal was making  her way home after finishing work as a bank teller   in nearby lake isabella california she and her  34 year old boyfriend dale hay lived with his   young son in the small valley town of weldon a  peaceful community of less than 3000 residents   weldon is often teeming with fishermen during the  day but is relatively quiet during twilight hours   and has an extremely low crime rate it's this low  crime rate that made the events of january 3rd   so shocking events that would change dana's life  forever because as she drove down a particularly   isolated stretch of kelso creek road dana  noticed the driver of a strange pickup   truck behaving suspiciously while at the dana  later described the vehicle as a light-colored   full-size pickup truck with a camper shell  that was a shade lighter than the chassis   so i just remember the blaring bright lights you  know behind me and i got to a part in the road   where i was just like this guy has to go around me  i couldn't see so i slowed down real real slow and   the truck went around me and kind of  like slammed on his brakes in front of me   it seemed kind of like a cat and  mouse if i sped up a little bit   he was right on my tail and i slowed down and  he didn't pass it just stayed you know behind me   naturally the strange driver's behavior made dana  extremely anxious and the last thing she wanted to   do was lead them back to her house in response  she began to perform some impromptu evasive   driving maneuvers fainting turns turning back on  herself or speeding up around some dangerous blind   bends in order to put some distance between  her and the faceless stalker it was a risky   move but it paid off and soon she couldn't see  any pursuing headlights in her rearview mirror   satisfied that she had escaped the truck driver  dana returned to her home shaken by the encounter   but glad she had avoided any potential danger  yet as she pulled into her driveway dana saw   a pair of headlights appear at the entrance to  her street no she thought it can't be but it was   and as the truck got closer she realized it was  the exact same vehicle that had been following her   stricken with panic dana parked her vehicle  scrambled out of the driver's side door and bolted   towards her house having heard dana's arrival  dale's nine-year-old son ran to the front door to   greet her and according to him the strange track  drove off as soon as the driver laid eyes on him   by this point dana was inconsolable and wept  openly as she described the harrowing ordeal   to her boyfriend dale was her rock he had never  failed her before and he didn't fail her then   he assured dana that he'd protect her no matter  what despite being profoundly frightened by the   incident dale's reassurance seemed to have  worked because the couple then resumed their   evening chores the way dana remembers it she got  on with doing the laundry while dale cooked dinner   a kind of uneasy peace had descended  on the household but it was one that   was shattered by the word of dale's young  son dad there's someone outside the house   the couple walked into the front room of their  home and saw a large truck that had parked facing   the house it was flashing its lights through the  window it was a sight that must have made dana's   blood run cold she thought she was rid of this  truck driver who had been following her but now   they were back and they were taunting her dale was  of course furious he'd promised to protect dana   and he meant every word of it he stormed outside  of the house with such ferocity that the truck   driver sped off as soon as he emerged yet  just a short while later they again returned   still apoplectic with rage dale marched right  out into the front yard and as the truck driver   tried to escape again dale began to follow them  in his jeep dale's young son willie was getting   more and more frightened by the minute and with  his father now gone it was getting increasingly   difficult to calm him down as a distraction  dana put on a movie for her and willie to watch   this worked for a while but as more and more  time went by dana became increasingly worried   for her boyfriend's well-being when the movie  had ended and dale still hadn't returned home   dana and willie climbed into her car and  went out searching for the boy's father   barely driven a mile from the property when she  discovered his jeep crashed into a farmer's fence   dale was slumped over in the driver's seat  with a single gunshot wound to his head   he was rushed to the hospital but was sadly  pronounced dead on arrival given the circumstances   investigating officers quickly concluded that dale  had been murdered by the truck driving stalker he   had been chasing off but discovering exactly who  that person was would prove to be nigh impossible   by all accounts dale was a kind patient  and well-liked man in the community   he and dana led peaceful quiet lives and she  couldn't think of a single person who might harbor   violent intent for them yet at the same time their  hometown of weldon is an incredibly isolated place   with the nearest city being almost 50 miles  away as dana put said everybody knows everybody   you can't rob a bank there because you're gonna  get caught that's the kind of mindset i had   there's no escaping from the valley because you're  surrounded by mountains and got nowhere to go   so why would you commit a crime here the residents  of weldon tried to comfort themselves with the   idea that it was some malevolent stranger that  had killed dale but in reality it was probably   someone they knew someone terrifyingly close  to them maybe even one of their own neighbors   sadly investigators were unable to uncover any  significant leads in the case and it essentially   turned cold in the years following 2006 when  the last known tip was called into the police   as the years go by it seems less and less likely  that dale's killer will ever be brought to justice   a person so entitled that they felt they could  stalk a young woman down a dark country road   before murdering a loved one when he dared  attempt to defend her the fact that such a   morally hideous person is free to walk the streets  is enough to make your blood boil but let it serve   as a reminder that we must remain steadfastly  vigilant in the face of such predatory evil the year was in 1976 the place otterbein a small  rural town in benton county indiana it was home to   the skoogs a farming family who earned 40 acres  of corn along benton county road 200 south that   evening the family son curtis skoog was outside  mowing the lawn when he saw his father norman   and his grandfather everett pull up in the  driveway in the eldest man's pickup truck   in the bed of the pickup was a white cardboard box  which had been sealed shat with furnace tape and   tied tightly with clothesline while out harvesting  in a remote area about a mile and a half away   from the family home norman had come across the  mysterious box which somebody had left deep within   the cornfield strange the box was blocking the  path of his combine so he hopped out to move it   he quickly realized that the box was  far too heavy for one man to lift alone   that's when he called his father-in-law everett  and together they loaded it into everett's pickup   and brought it back to the house to open  it up they untied the line cut open the   tape and together the three generations  of men made one horrifying discovery   inside the box wrapped in layers of plastic was  what appeared to be something in the shape of   a human there was a broken vial of perfume  resting on top of it immediately they all   knew that something wasn't right sheriff donald  steely came to inspect the strange package he   peeled back the layers of heavy plastic and all at  once a disgusting odor hit all of their nostrils   it was the smell of death wrapped up like a  morbid christmas present was the body of a woman   in the fetal position rope bound her body  together her head was wrapped in paper   towels and trash can liners she was partially  decomposed and the perfume had clearly been used   to mask the odors they estimated she'd  been dead for between seven and ten days this was a grisly discovery for sure and the  first order of business was to figure out who this   woman was that shouldn't take too long thought the  officers although the woman had no idea on her she   was clearly around 50 or 60 years old and surely  she had some family out there looking for her   it was only a matter of time before they matched  her with a missing persons report and somebody   came to identify her well that's the thing no  one came forward to claim her remains meaning   that the woman remained unidentified whoever  she was it was clear nobody was missing her   this made the authority's jobs much harder  and gave them very little to work with   the perps in most murder cases are a spouse a  close relative or a friend of the victim but   without knowing who she was investigators were  left scratching their heads as to who to question   if the strange nature in which this  woman was disposed of didn't give it away   it was now glaringly obvious to the authorities  that this wasn't going to be their typical case   they named her the box lady of benton county   a sketch of the benton county doe's face was drawn  up and was made public along with a description of   the scene and a number of specific details about  her she had brownish gray hair and brown eyes   was five foot two inches tall weighed around 160  pounds and was wearing light green trousers and a   light green shirt which were in good condition  she wasn't wearing any shoes jewelry or makeup   her distinguishing facial features included an  upturned nose as well as abnormally large ears   for her small face a scar ran from her sternum to  her stomach her hands were covered in calluses she   was fingerprinted but didn't match with anyone on  the police's database meaning that she had never   been arrested and that she was born in the usa  still that didn't help narrow things down much after an autopsy it was determined that somebody  had shot the dough in the back of the head with a   shotgun detectives started to theorize why  somebody would do that to the poor woman   and then so heartlessly pack her into a  box and dump her in a farmer's cornfield   the calluses on her hands suggested that she may  have been a cleaning lady if that's the case then   perhaps she saw something or heard something  that she wasn't supposed to at a client's house   and was subsequently silenced they started  to wonder if this could be mob related   even with the police actively appealing for  leads the woman's remains went unclaimed   and her identity remained a mystery as such they  buried her in an unmarked grave and turned their   focus to the only other piece of evidence they  had the box itself they came to the conclusion   that the box had been manufactured in chicago and  believe that's where the woman must have been from   so they figured they knew where the box had  come from now the question was how did it   come to be in a cornfield in benton county the  spot where the box was discovered was far away   from any roads and there was no evidence of  broken corn stems leading up to its location   suggesting that nobody had dragged it into  the field despite it raining the evening   prior the box itself was completely dry meaning  that it had been dumped there very recently   as strange as it sounds the main theory is that it  was dropped there via helicopter none of the other   farmers in the area reported seeing or hearing  any cars in the lead-up to the box's discovery   and given how rural this area is that's the sort  of thing these busy outdoorsmen tend to notice   there were reports of a helicopter in the area  however according to three different witnesses   they saw a chopper hovering near the ground around  the area where the box was later discovered there   was also a circular imprint at the scene which  could have easily been made by a chopper's updraft   if that's the case i'd say it definitely supports  the theory that some rich and powerful individuals   are responsible for what happened to the box  lady pretty crazy to think about in an effort   to give the woman back her name benton county  does remains were dug up in 2019 and her dna   was collected no matches were found as of right  now it's been 45 years and we don't even know the   box lady's identity let alone the identity  of the person or persons who took her life   who was she who were they and  why did they do what they did   it's sad to think that nobody was out looking for  our dough no family no friends surely somebody out   there knows who this lady was perhaps one  day they'll come forward with information   until that day she'll remain the box lady  of benton county buried without a name or   headstone alive in people's memories not for  who she was in life but for how her life ended hi walter i got a new girlfriend today is  referring to a video on youtube originally   uploaded in 2009 by 2150 studios the re-upload  is currently sitting at 1.5 million views   the video starts out normal enough with a young  man sitting alone in a room talking to the camera   but he's not addressing his entire audience   he's specifically talking to someone  called walter as if this video was uploaded   just for him the man explains how he had just  met the most amazing girl at the mall that day   and describes how he went shopping with her  at jc penney's and a jewelry shop with a voice   that's struggling to hold back excitement the man  says that he brought this goal back to his place   i know she hates cameras walter but i'm gonna show  you her anyways you ready the video suddenly cuts   to a different area of the house we're now in some  dingy basement the man opens a door to reveal a   tied up woman cowering in the corner of a small  bathroom crying and desperately begging for help   the man enters the room and slams the door behind  him the woman screams and the video ends abruptly   this upload got a lot of people talking a young  woman named kayla berg had gone missing at the   time the video went live and some viewers noticed  that the girl in the bathroom looked a lot like   her fearing that this was more than just a  joke several viewers actually contacted the   police about the video and the owners of the  youtube channel were investigated kayla's own   mother even watched the video and said quote it  sounded like her looked like her it gave me chills   it appeared as if there had just been a massive  development in the case the video started   being reported on by the media and the comment  section of the video was now filled with outrage   this prompted the owners of the channel to  leave this comment on one of their other videos   we apologize for any emotional harm caused  by highwalter i got a new girlfriend today   produced back in 2009 there was no intention  of it resembling any real person or event   the actors involved wished to extend their  sympathies to the mother of kayla berg   and sincere apologies for the emotional  turmoil it caused so as it turns out this   whole video was just an art piece designed  to drum up interest in their youtube channel   it had nothing to do with kayla berg and it was  just a coincidence that the actress resembled her   but imagine seeing this before  it was confirmed to be a hoax   i mean the guy's actually a pretty good actor  he sells the part and makes you believe that he   really is some unhinged nerdy guy who just snapped  one day the fact that he's addressing some guy   called walter makes the video appear more personal  as well like this was some sort of revenge video   but although this video did turn out to  be fake and the creators obviously didn't   intend to cause any harm a lot of people  really thought this was real back in the day   and it's extremely unfortunate that  kayla berg's mother was amongst them the year was 2016. narumi kurozaki was  a 21 year old who had just been accepted   as an exchange student at the university  of france besan france adventurous girl   she'd always wanted to study overseas  and experience living in other cultures   her dream was about to come true in september  of that year she arrived in france and began   her studies it was set to be an exciting  experience a new chapter in her life   unfortunately it was also said to be its final  chapter only two months after arriving in bezon   narumi's professors started to become concerned  when she stopped showing up to her classes   her housemates were equally perplexed  they hadn't seen narumi since december 4th   they assumed that she was staying with someone  else or had taken a trip without telling anyone   they tried to contact her but to no avail not  sure what else to do they reported narumi missing   an investigation into her vanishing  began immediately and from the beginning   things looked bleak nurimi hadn't used her  mobile phone or bank cards since december 4th   the last night anyone had seen her alive  detectives questioned naomi's housemates   hoping they might be able to offer some insight  into what happened to the young japanese national   one fellow student who lived on the ground floor  alongside naremi reported that she heard a scream   of terror and a struggle in the middle of the  night on december 4th but said that when she   looked out of her door down the hallway she saw  nobody assuming it was just college students being   college students and making a lot of noise she  thought nothing more of it and went back to bed   investigators combed norimi's room for evidence   just outside they found a red  splattering on a fire escape door   it couldn't be determined whether this was blood  or not but they immediately suspected the worst   on december 26 despite nobody ever being found  the authorities were confident enough to declare   that narumi kurasaki had been murdered  and what's more they had a prime suspect   nicolas cepeda contreras a  then 26 year old from chile   nicholas was narumi's ex-boyfriend the pair  had actually met in japan when nicholas was   an assistant teacher but had broken up  before nurumi went to study in france   nicholas himself had gone back to chile  and it's unclear exactly why the pair split   so nicholas lived in chile and narumi  died in france explain lazy gladly   shortly before nurimi went missing nicholas had  flown out to bes on song the pair had apparently   reconnected they were caught on a restaurant's  cctv camera eating dinner together later that   evening they were both again caught on camera  entering nurumi's apartment building some time   later nicholas was captured leaving the complex  alone soon after he caught a plane back to chile   it's assumed that he dragged narumi's remains  through the building's fire exit an exit which   wasn't monitored by cameras he then threw her  into the back of his rented car which was later   returned covered in mud and went and buried her in  a local forest he then fled the country and from   his computer in chile sent messages to narumi's  friends trying to explain her absence away   an international arrest warrant for nicholas  was issued but due to extradition difficulties   and the fact that the young man was from a  very wealthy very influential family in chile   getting him arrested and brought  back to france was very difficult   as such two french investigators flew out to chile  themselves to question him this sadly proved to be   a waste of everyone's time since the guy refused  to answer any of the 95 questions posed to him   the only thing nicholas declared publicly was  that he was innocent and that he believed narumi   was still alive yeah nicholas that made a lot  of sense seeing how nobody had seen or heard   from her since december 4th 2016 not even her  family and that you just so happened to be in   france with her on the night she disappeared but  let's give nicholas the benefit of the doubt let's   just for a minute assume that he really did fly  halfway around the world to meet his ex-girlfriend   have one final goodbye dinner you know for old  time's sake and that the fact she hasn't been seen   since entering her accommodation building with  him is purely coincidental even assuming all that   there's still one huge damning piece of evidence  that was uncovered on youtube of all places back   in september 2016 around the time nurimi had  flown to france nicholas had uploaded a video   onto youtube in which he addressed narumi directly  in the video he gave nurumi until september 21st   to comply with a set of conditions which were  designed to quote unquote save their relationship   she cannot be making such mistakes with  someone who loves her he said in the video   some conditions concern her stay in france others  apply forever it's unclear what he meant exactly   but whatever the case after narumi disappeared  in december he quickly took the video down   it later resurfaced after being reuploaded by a  japanese user who took an interest in the case   so there's our possible motive jealousy  if nicholas couldn't have her nobody could   since an extradition request can only be  made once the french authorities had to   take their time collecting evidence and  making as strong a case as possible so   that they could get nicholas brought back to  france in july 2020 he was finally extradited   his trial is set to begin this autumn and if  found guilty he faces life in a french prison october 3rd 2005 east of seminole alabama just  off highway 90 a group of highway workers made   a grisly discovery in a remote wooded area they  came across a toolbox two by three feet in size   abandoned in the forest they were curious about  what could be inside this supposed treasure chest   after all it's not exactly the kind of thing  you come across every day naturally they all   gathered around and opened the thing up the smell  hit them before they could look upon their find   in the toolbox was a decaying red mass of flesh  they all thought it was an animal carcass at first   then they noticed it was wearing pants a belt  and a shirt stuffed inside this small box   was a fully grown man a wallet was found inside  the sticky decaying remains an id card within   identified the corpse as kenneth clay pierce  a 44 year old from kentucky judging from how   decomposed he was forensics estimated that he must  have been dead for at least a month countless cars   had driven past the woods during that time the  drivers and passengers completely unaware that   guinness remains were right there discarded  on the side of the road like a piece of trash it was determined that the 5 foot 8 160 pound  kenneth was killed before he was stuffed into   the box a fracture on his skull suggested that  he'd been killed by a blow to the head a strike   likely made by a baseball bat like so many  others before and after him nobody came forward   to claim kenneth's body no friends no family  and seemed like the guy was nothing to no one   if there hadn't been any id in his wallet  then it'd probably still be a john doe   not only would his life have been  taken but also his entire identity   he still had that at least and that  gave detectives a lot to work with   they started by examining who kenneth clay pierce  actually was for the past 13 years the 44 year old   had been living in pensacola florida living what  appeared to be a nomadic life the guy had no fixed   job and no fixed address he seemed to just wander  from place to place sometimes living in a house   sometimes on the streets his last known job had  been clearing debris after hurricane ivan he   had no family to speak of and no other assets to  help the authorities piece together his backstory   flyers were put up all around the city  appealing for people to come forward with   information about who kenneth was about  how he came to meet such a gruesome fate   nobody came forward from what investigators  could gather kenneth didn't keep the best   of company the guy hung out with some bad  people and was known to be a heavy drinker   he was also known to regularly hit up clubs and  bars in pensacola as well as the local shelter   after learning about his life the authorities  came to the conclusion that kenneth must have   been slain in pensacola for whatever reason and  then driven out to seminole where he was dumped   that brings us to the toolbox  in which kenneth was found   with no other physical evidence to speak of this  toolbox proved to be the most vital lead of all   the thing was homemade crafted from  corrugated plastic and not just any old   plastic detectives were able to pinpoint  exactly where the material had come from   the top of a commercial dumpster the kind you see  outside of businesses close to the shelter where   kenneth used to sometimes stay investigators  found another toolbox inside the back of a   pickup truck belonging to a local resident  the top of this toolbox was also homemade and   apart from its color it was identical in every  way to the one that kenneth was discovered in   this was a big break the owner of the truck was  tracked down and questioned the cops hopeful   that they had found their burp unfortunately they  were unable to come up with any evidence proving   that this man was responsible for kenneth's  demise or even that the two had previously met   it seems likely that if this guy had the same  style homemade toolbox he either made it himself   or knew who sold it to him still this break  didn't lead anywhere and it's possible that   the toolbox in which kenneth was found was stolen  that might explain why no connection could be made   either way the police had hit a dead end and  unfortunately no new leads have presented   themselves since the case is no closer to  being cracked now than it was 15 years ago   the only thing the cops are sure of is  that more than one person is responsible   for taking kenneth's life it certainly shocks the  conscience a little bit to think that there are   people out there who have beat someone to death  put them in a box and literally thrown them out   on the side of the road said andre reid with the  baldwin county sheriff's office and that's why   i say it's important that we make an arrest in  this case because what kind of people are those kenneth clay pierce was buried in baldwin  county while five strangers attended his service   just another forgotten man well that  forgotten man remains in the minds of   strangers all around the world who have heard  his case and have delved into its rabbit hole   who killed kenneth pierce  and what were their motives   all we know for certain is that somebody out there  knows the truth who knows maybe they're watching a much more grounded mystery with a spacey context  for this one founded by a man called edward   mielnik back in 1990 and travis was a polish cult  that held some very strange beliefs to say the   least according to mjelnik 8 billion years ago  earth was visited by two spaceships one of them   containing the slavic peoples who originally  come from the planet atlanta like many other   cultists the followers of antravis wholeheartedly  believe that the world was soon about to end   and that the only way to survive the apocalypse  was by escaping in their slavic spaceship   in their minds the aliens would return in  their ship just before the earth's destruction   save the dedicated antrvis members from certain  death and take them to the planet marinda   thing is the alien spaceship needed to be  powered somehow and the only fuel source was   the energy found within the people of central  europe apparently world war ii was some sort of   plot to kill as many central europeans as possible  so that the guy with the chaplain mustache no the   other one could escape earth with all his friends  pretty crazy stuff anyway it was the early 90s   antravis was certain the end was nigh and  that their alien spacecraft would soon arrive   they needed to get their hands on some of  that sweet sweet spaceship power quickly   or else they'd all be doomed how did they plan to  harvest that power by giving up their body parts   many members started to mutilate themselves in  order to help power the ship many male members   cut off the parts of themselves that contain the  most powerful energy namely their family jewels   oh it hurts to even say it what they actually  did with these chopped off bits remains unclear   now from an outsider's perspective looking  in this could all seem darkly comical   but here's where things turn from  darkly comical to darkly tragic   in their quest to harvest as much energy as  possible it seems antravis may have turned   to murder in august of 1993 andre cialecki 18  vanished on his way to school never to be seen   again because of his interest in ufology the young  man had gotten heavily involved with antrevus   and over time his parents noticed that his  behavior was becoming weirder and weirder   he'd sit alone in his room for hours  meditating ignoring his schoolwork and friends   over time he started to show signs of fear and  agitation saying that he thought someone was   out to get him he stopped sleeping and barely  ate any food because he was so worried someone   was trying to poison him not long afterwards  he went missing though many suspect antravis   were responsible no concrete evidence was ever  found linking the group to andre's disappearance around the same sort of time another young man  only 16 also vanished he too had links to antravis   the group liked to recruit younger  more impressionable members   much to the behest of the inductee's parents in 1995 a pe teacher and fellow member of  antravis also disappeared his remains were   actually found in the oddra river his head  had been batted in and someone had removed   his manhood with surgical precision two surgeons  who were members of antravis were questioned but   the authorities were unable to link them to  the teacher's demise and the case went cold   but all three of these cases are still technically  unsolved it's strongly suspected that antravis   were responsible for the teacher's death and  that the two aforementioned boys suffered the   same fate at the hands of its members  anthravis has since formally disbanded   it's believed that they still unofficially  exist in poland in an underground capacity   since it's extremely common for cult members to  become estranged from their families and friends   it's very likely more people were  selected for involuntary harvest   their sudden and mysterious disappearances  simply never reported question is how many three orangutans one blender refers to a rare  online video that few people have ever seen   but those who have watched it say it's one  of the most disturbing clips in existence   rumors about three orangutans started  spreading all the way back in 2008   when youtuber damonico uploaded  the first ever reaction video to it   in the years that followed many many more  reactions to three orangutans were uploaded to   youtube in all of them the reactor appears  disgusted by what they're seeing the same   hip-hop music can be heard in the background of  each reaction along with the same screaming ape   noises suggesting that all of these reactors were  watching the same video as for what the footage is   actually of the most famous account comes from a  guy called roberto martinez he made an extremely   long post about the contents of the video so  i'll just give the spark notes version here three orangutans one blender is a real  video that can now be found on the dark web   it was published during 2006  but wasn't found until later   here's what it is so the music makes it sound  like it's okay but the video is horrifying   in the video there are these indian or brazilian  army men wearing yellowish greenish camouflage   they walk into a building and take beaten  damaged caged orangutans and brutally cut   them up with machetes then begin pouring bleach  and what looks like lemon juice all over them   before shoving them into this weird  machine that is definitely not a blender   it's this big machine that has blades that  spin like a blender but it's not the machine   has no roof but it has a balcony with rails  that circle around the top and two steel   platforms on both sides above the machine  going across to the other side like a bridge   whatever it is it brutally slices some of the  orangutans into a bloodbath of pieces while   leaving some still alive screaming in agony  and pain while some of the men are laughing   then this fat guy in a yellow camouflage ski mask  comes inside the machine and uses a chainsaw to   butcher six of them they take the last three male  orangutans and walk them into a cabin-like shelter   where there are three tigers waiting they have the  tigers slowly eat and rip off the private parts   of these orangutans they throw the orangutans  on the ground taking turns pouring some lemon   juice on them before brutally butchering them  while laughing and throwing the pieces of their   carcasses back into the machine and slicing it  all up the video ends there i think the only   reason it's called three orangutans one blender  is because only three of them lost at the end   the video was so gruesome that it  became harder to find on the clarinet   you can also see that there are human remains  inside the machine with the orangutans there are   97 men and 19 orangutans counted in the video some  of them in a shirtless showing off their tattoos   it's so messed up you'll wish those guys were  dead also all of the men have a strange symbol   on their hats or shoulders the video appears to  take place at a camp in the middle of the jungle   during the afternoon with trucks  sheds and cabins in the background   the original video was three hours long and didn't  have music but the video you'll find is only   one minute and 50 seconds long and has a weird  hip-hop beat that covers everything except for   the screams of the orangutans and the sound of the  machine even though the video was posted in 2006   it has a 70s 80s or 90s quality i'm guessing  the real thing took place decades ago   anyways you're welcome but seriously don't  watch it okay so that's some extremely   disturbing imagery but you'll be happy to hear  that no matter how hard you try you'll never   actually be able to track this video down that's  because three orangutans one blender is a myth   just like the baby burger video it's based off no  such clip exists all of the reaction videos to it   simply made use of the same beat giving  the illusion that the clip actually existed   roberto's account of the video was just  him playing along with the hoax too   in fact there are plenty of accounts about what  this video actually contains and they all say   something different as dark as some of those  fake stories are my personal favorite is that   it's just a video of someone preparing a smoothie  for three excited orangutans kind of wholesome at around midnight on the evening of the 21st  of august 1968 29 year old masonry worker   antonio lobianco and 32 year old barbara lochi  were driving through a small town about seven   miles west of florence italy asleep in the back  seat was barbara's six-year-old son natalino   but when a sharp jolt suddenly woke the boy up  he opened his eyes to a truly horrifying sight   the car he had been sleeping in had crashed and  behind a cracked and splintered windshield antonio   and his mother barbara lay slumped in their seats  both of them riddled with bullets that lead fresh   blood onto the upholstery natalino then descended  into a state of shock because the way he describes   it he just ran instinctually fleeing the scene to  escape the mind-shattering trauma next thing he   knew it was almost 2am and he was two kilometers  away knocking at the home of a complete stranger   this stranger said that he was awoken by the sound  of a small boy crying open the door and let me in   i'm sleepy and my daddy is sick in bed then you  have to drive me home because my mother and my   uncle are dead in their car you see antonio  lobianco the man who had been driving the car   wasn't natalino's father he was a paramour of  his mother barbara one of her many boyfriends   barbara was a married woman but was well  known for having multiple love affairs   throughout her marriage her husband and natalino's  biological father was a man named stefano mele   naturally italian homicide detectives suspected  stepano of being the murderer with jealousy   being his motive but a lack of evidence forced  them to turn to some less than savory means to   obtain a conviction when natalina knocked on the  stranger's door he said that his father was sick   in bed on the night of the murder but now he was  saying that his father was present at the scene   now it's entirely possible that  natalino changed this story on his own   but it's believed that the police coached him  into saying this stefano himself had a hard time   proving this wasn't true and a regional prosecutor  made such a strong case to a scandal-hungry jury   that in the end stefano was declared  guilty and sentenced to 18 years in prison   it appeared to be an open and shut case a classic  example of a jealous lover's crime of passion   but six years into stefano's sentence the murder  of another couple would exonerate him entirely   on the night of september 15th 1974 19 year old  bartender pasquale gentile corey had driven out to   a quiet country lane near the small town of borgo  san lorenzo about 12 miles north east of florence   he was accompanied by his 18 year old  accountant girlfriend stefania pattini   by all accounts the two of them were very much in  love and often visited a popular discotheque known   as teen club friends later said that they were  usually jolly and carefree but on the night of   september 15th the couple appeared to be extremely  tense when they were asked what was bothering them   stefania told her friend that a few days prior  a strange man had followed her during a driving   lesson she had forgotten about it soon after but  it spotted that same man earlier that evening   almost as if he was stalking her when asked  what the man looked like stefania could only   give a vague description but added that there was  something about this man that she found terrifying   the couple departed the teen club earlier than  usual before driving out to a quiet country lane   this particular roadway wasn't  exactly uninhabited as it was   a stretch of road that was known by the  locals as something of a lover's lane a   place where young couples could escape to  in order to get some privacy and intimacy   upon their arrival stefania and pasquale found  there were a handful of other cars lining the lane   some of these other couples would later report  that some strange men had visited the area on foot   but whether or not they were responsible for  what followed is pure speculation the fact of   the matter is that the following morning stefania  and pasquale were found shot to death in their car   but it was the condition of stephanie's  corpse that people found truly horrifying   after being shot stefania had been dragged from  the vehicle before being mutilated with almost a   hundred separate stab wounds her killer seemed  to have become lost in a frenzy plunging the   blade into her face neck and chest over and  over again before disemboweling her entirely   once she'd been mutilated beyond recognition  stephania's killer violated her with a grapevine   stalk then left her body on display to be stumbled  upon by some unfortunate member of the public   forever condemned to be haunted by that harrowing  sight the police quickly discovered that the gun   used to execute both stefania and pasquale  shared the exact same ballistic patterns   as the one used to kill antonio lobianco and  barbara lochi thus exonerating stefano mele   but one man's answer prayer became another  man's problem and to the italian police the   prospect of a serial killer was most definitely  not a welcome one the killer had proven that he   was brutally effective but he also demonstrated  a terrifying level of patience and discipline   it would be almost seven years before  he struck again this time on june 6 1981   30 year old warehouse worker giovanni voji  and his 21 year old fiancee carmela de nuccio   would fall victim to the man who came to be  known as il monstro de ferenze the monster   of florence much like their other murders the  killer targeted his victims late at night while   they were alone in their car he ambushed them with  shots from his signature 22 pistol then just as   he had done with the previous female victim he  pulled her from the car and began to mutilate   her only this time the monster of florence began  to experiment with a kind of calling card a sign   off just to let the police know they had a serial  killer on their hands he took out a notched knife   pulled up carmela de nuccio's skirt  then cut out her pelvic region entirely   before carrying it away as a terrifying trophy  the following morning a man named enzo spalletti   apparently started talking about the murders  before the bodies had officially been discovered   this was all it took for the italian police to  seek their second false conviction with enzo   being jailed for three months before finally being  cleared of suspicion the monster of florence had   waited almost seven long years to kill again but  it appears his bloodlust was only growing with age   because unlike his previous murders which all  seemed to fully sate whatever deprived desire   drove him to kill the murders of giovanna fuji  and carmela de nuccio didn't seem to quench his   thirst for gore and it took just a matter of  months before he once again went on the hunt twenty-six-year-old laborer stefano baldi and  his fiancee susanna kambi were due to be married   in november of 1981 they never got the chance to  exchange their vows though as in october they were   both shot and stabbed in the small tuscan town of  kalinsana much like before camby's pelvic region   had been severely mutilated and the killer  had evidently taken a large section of flesh   as a trophy the killer's next attack in june of  1982 perhaps makes him more befitting of the name   the tuscan ripper so just like his victorian  forebearer he was suddenly interrupted during   one of his crimes and as a result was robbed  of his chance at carving out another trophy   paolo mainadi and antonella migliorini was  so inseparable that they were nicknamed   vinavil by their friends after  an italian brand of superglue   that moniker proved to be entirely prophetic  as they spent their final moments on this   earth together executed by shots from  that same 22 while cuddling up in their   car but because the couple were parked up on a  relatively busy stretch of road the killer was   interrupted by a good samaritan who stopped  to see if the vehicle zona needed some help   this prompted the killer to immediately flee  the scene despite paramedics finding paolo   manadi alive at the scene he sadly passed away  while receiving treatment at a florence hospital   the morning after the murder an anonymous  person phoned susanna camby's mother   and her talk to her about her daughter obviously  the slaying of another couple was a harrowing and   heartbreaking affair but the mistake showed  that the killer was getting sloppy growing   impatient it seemed like only a matter of time  before he made a mistake that would be his last   the monster of florence would go on to murder  two vacationing german artists wilhelm frederick   horst mayer and jens uveirush as well as a young  couple claudio stefanachi and pia gilda rottini   rottini had been followed by a strange man hours  before she was killed when investigators arrived   they found her pelvic region as well as her left  breast had been removed killer's final victims   were proved to be a couple out camping in the  woods sean michael kravitzilli and nadine moriat   their bodies took so long to find  that the killer centered taunting note   along with a piece of his victim's flesh to the  state prosecutor sylvia delamonica stating that   a murder had taken place and challenging  local authorities to find their bodies   but it seems this cry for attention was a bridge  too far for the killer who realized he was playing   a dangerous game with the police and the media the  killing of the camping couple in september of 1985   would prove to be his final act of bloodshed and  for almost a decade the case of the monster of   lawrence remained cold with the advent of more  advanced computer technology as well as hundreds   of tips from the general public a man named pietro  pachiani was put on trial for the murders in 1994.   pachiani had previously been convicted of both  the carnal assault and murder of his two daughters   as well as for the 1951 murder of a man  who had been cavorting with a former lover   after searching his home police discovered  an unfired 22 bullet in his back garden   it was the exact same variety  used in the monster murders   pachyani was found guilty following his trial  but was released from prison two years later   following an appeal which cited poor police work  as well as a lack of solid physical evidence   two more men mariovani and giancarlo lottie  were eventually convicted of the murders   and although they remain in prison to this day  their sentences have been widely criticized   and it's commonly believed that both men  have been scapegoated for an unsolved crime   years later in 2001 the chief prosecutor on the  case claimed that the murders were the work of   a satanic cult who were allegedly operating  in the greater area of tuscany during the   70s and 80s according to him the victim's body  parts were being used in an unholy blood ritual   this prosecutor had apparently discovered a villa  in the area where pachiani had been employed   the very same villa was home  to a large pyramidal stone   one that according to him was highly indicative  of high-level cult activity however many have   dismissed these claims as frankly laughable and  insist the stone has no significance whatsoever we've previously touched on how the  monster of florence might be more   suited to the name of the tuscan ripper but  perhaps another nickname is better suited   the zodiac killer there are those who  purport that the monster of florence   and california's um zodiac killer are  in fact the very same person okay so   i know i'm releasing this video at a bit of a  strange time so hear me out just a few days ago   a group of cold case investigators known as the  case breakers announced that they had identified   the zodiac killer based on several pieces  of compelling physical and forensic evidence   the zodiac they claim was a man named gary francis  post this had a lot of people convinced that the   zodiac had finally been unmasked especially since  one of the zodiac ciphers was recently decrypted   however both the fbi and officials in california  have shot down this claim and said that gary   frances post isn't a suspect in the zodiac case  according to local authorities in san francisco   the case breaker's evidence is circumstantial at  best and the case officially remains unsolved so   with that in mind what's this alleged connection  between the zodiac and the monster of florence   well in 2018 a trio of italian news publications  introduced the public to a man named joe bevelaqua   born in the state of new jersey on december 20th  of 1935 bellevacqua spent 20 years in the u.s army   before moving to florence in 1974. it was there  that he gained work at the florence american   cemetery a fitting form of employment for someone  who allegedly already dealt with so much death   the theory's main proponent francesco amicone  claimed that bevel aqua had made a partial   confession to him in september of 1997. he then  corroborated the details of this confession   and found that the zodiac murders had  ceased almost at the exact same time   as the monsters began and matched a proposed  timeline of bellavacqua leaving the us   and emigrating to italy belivacua was incensed  by such an accusation and publicly threatened to   sue francesco amakone if he didn't retract  the allegations yet unbelievably amakone   refused to back down and seemed to challenge  bellavacqua on a number of supposed coincidences   the main being that bellavacqua would have  been an undercover cid agent assigned to   an investigation in san francisco at the time of  the zodiac murders in the late 60s and early 70s   amekone also alleged that bellavacqua would have  had access to the case files of a double murder   which occurred near florence in 1968 where bullets  and shell casings had been improperly stored   he went on to claim that bellavacqua  replaced the pieces of evidence   with spank cartridges shot by the gun  he would use in the monster's homicides   thus connecting his future crimes to those  murders for which he already had an alibi   the accusations were so thoroughly well  presented that italian authorities actually   approached balabakwa in late 2020 requesting he  provide a dna sample in order to clear his name   the results of any dna tests haven't been revealed  to the public and that's if any test has taken   place at all but it seems a chillingly strong  argument can be made to support the idea that   the zodiac murders lasted far longer and were more  far-reaching than anyone could have anticipated   to this day even though two  men sit in prison many believe   the monster of florence has never been caught  it's entirely possible that the murders could   simply be down to a sadistic italian serial  killer one who quit while they were ahead   having no wider connection to other killers let  alone an underground network of devil worshippers   but at the same time we can't rule out the  possibility that el mostro de ferensei and   the zodiac killer were one and the same and that  a man was able to brutally murder and mutilate   young couples across two different continents with  complete and utter impunity scary to think about when we're behind our screens interacting  with strangers online it's easy to feel this   sense of anonymity like we can get away with  saying whatever we want to whoever we want   that really isn't the case though especially on  sites like reddit in the past there have been   numerous instances of people making posts safe in  the belief that there won't be any consequences   time and again however those people have been  proven wrong there have been people who have   confessed to cheating on their partners only  for another user to check out their history   connect a few dots and realize that it's  actually john who's married to their sister   there have been people who have gotten into  arguments with other users said the most vulgar   things only for the other person to find out  who they are and get them fired from their job   even if you use a throwaway account sometimes  a group of reddit detectives will come together   to uncover your real identity that is if the  post you made warrants such drastic action   some users have even been tracked  down and questioned by the authorities   or even jailed for admitting  to their unlawful actions   despite that thousands of people continue to  wear their dirty laundry every day on the site   of course most of these confessions are nothing  too serious there are however exceptions to that   five years ago on r askreddit user purple gerkins  asked this question to those of you who have   accidentally killed someone what went wrong of the  more than 10 000 replies most of them were either   not personal accounts accidental motor collisions  or instances where the user was either defending   themselves or otherwise justified in their actions  interesting reads sure but nothing nefarious   but buried in amongst all the replies  was one that was very different   one that eventually caught everyone's  attention a response left by user archaeology this still haunts me to this day as kids we had a  hideout in this dirk cliff cove kind of thing this   is the best approximation i can find on google  only three times taller and probably ten times as   wide there was a neighborhood kid who in hindsight  was probably mentally handicapped in some way   but to us he was just the weird creepy kid this  was the 80s and we weren't exactly raised pc   three of us were headed to our base and found  creepy kids sitting at the top in our guard chair   we yelled at him to get out and  he said something like make me   and started lobbing dirt clods and sticks down at  us we all ran around the side to make our way up   it gets pretty fuzzy here but all i remember is he  fell i still remember the sound when we got back   down to check on him he was in a very awkward  position with blood coming out of his mouth   we all just freaked out and ran home and as far as  i know no one has spoken a word of this to anyone   we didn't go back for over a month  and never said a word of it between us   again this was the 80s so media wasn't like  today chances are it got a small article in   the newspaper b section missing mentally disabled  child found dead after fall or something like that some users sympathized with archaeology's  story while others started questioning   whether the other kid fell accidentally or if  he was pushed again archaeology said that his   memory was fuzzy but given the title of the  thread many speculated that it was the latter   but through his main comment and various others  that he left archaeology had given several key   tidbits of identifying information and behind the  scenes other editors were doing some sleuthing   one of them seemingly worked  out who the victim was   was it scott kleesholt he went missing in 1988  in saint charles semo correct that would make you   around 10 or 11 at the time you went missing he  would have been nine scott was last seen not far   from his home in the 330 block of laverne's drive  walking near a wooded area known as the trails   it was just before a fierce thunderstorm swept  through the area as long as six weeks after his   disappearance police conducted large-scale  searches of the area near scott's home   the searches involved digging at a labyrinth  of caves in the wooded hillside where scott was   known to play with other neighborhood children  i don't know if it is this kid if it were him   and if the story is what you said it seems  likely his body would have been found   a corpse of a nine-year-old at the bottom  of some land formation can get washed away   pretty easily in a storm however if it is or  isn't him you need to talk to your local pd   this discovery may have hit a nerve because  it was at that point that archaeology deleted   his original confession post his account has  since remained inactive for the past five years   and he offered up no further information about  the incident as it stands it's unclear what   happened to archaeology whether there was more  to his story or if he ever brought the matter   up with the authorities it's also unknown whether  scott clicholt was really the victim in question   but this post and thousands like it proved  that you never know what skeletons someone   might be hiding in their closet heck maybe you  have a few skeletons of your own if you do take   my advice don't go posting about them on reddit  or you might just end up in a video like this so this next entry actually comes from a facebook  post a post about a youtube ad one that supposedly   watches you back there's no footage to go along  with it just this screenshot but the text itself   paints a very clear and very unsettling picture so  back in 2019 a facebook user named raul navarrete   created a post that got shared around and  gained a lot of attention it revolves around an   enuncio intelligente or smartad now i don't speak  spanish but two very helpful people in my discord   server do so big thanks to isabo and lavender for  translating this into english here's raul's story something super weird just happened i was watching  youtube on my smart tv when all of a sudden an ad   showed up as is common on youtube i was gonna  skip when i noticed this ad was more than five   hours long it surprised me and i called my  dad so he could see the length of the video   i took a picture while i waited for my dad to get  there the girl in the ad kept talking and by the   time my dad got there she directed her eyes at  him even my dad joked that she was looking at him   my dad and i stood in front of the tv the girl  went quiet and we felt like she was looking at   the both of us we kept thinking that that  was impossible that she couldn't look at us   since this wasn't a video call it was an ad on  youtube it was simply impossible for her to see us   we laughed at how dumb it sounded and the girl  kept speaking but all of a sudden she got close   to the screen and we started to feel a little  uncomfortable and scared my dad wanted to test if   she was looking at us so he said changa a couple  of times then something incredible happened the   asian girl said changa back in that moment we got  scared and i look for the remote to skip the ad   between my dad and i we decided we were  really tired it had been a long day but   either way we couldn't ignore this fact and  we turned off the tv my doubts are what the   hell happened the tvs have cameras if this is  true then i can see surveillance being possible   and finally has youtube been hacked this  thing that happened to my dad and i scared   us if something similar has happened to you  i'd like to know your story this was mine so obviously there isn't any video proof to help  legitimize this story and all we have to go off is   raoul's word that this is true in fairness  i have seen some crazy ads play on youtube   some have legit been over two hours and i  have seen ones that are really unsettling too   a lot of them aren't even trying to sell you  anything so it's pretty obvious to me that   youtube doesn't have the strictest requirements  when it comes to advertising on their platform   that being said unless there was hacking  involved or youtube was testing some   sort of new ad function i think the goal  looking at them was just a pure coincidence   that or more likely raul just made the whole  thing up i'm almost 100 sure it's not possible   to even livestream a commercial let alone make an  ad that's an actual video chat so as interesting   and haunting as this story's concept is i  think it's just that a story a good one though described as a pillar of his community joseph  martinez was an amateur astronomer and youtuber   known to his followers as jupiter joe or jj had  made headlines in local papers for his work with   young astronomy enthusiasts in the bronx helping  them see constellations and planets through all of   new york's light pollution using his high quality  telescope but until just this week our friend   jupiter joe had been harboring a dark secret  one he had been keeping for the past 22 years   one that will make you see him in a very different  light one that'll make you sick to your stomach on february 24th 1999 mini soriano was on her  way home from her middle school in the bronx   unfortunately she never made it back to  her apartment halfway through her journey   she was snatched by a then 27 year old jupiter  joe who proceeded to do unspeakable things to   her before strangling her and hiding her body in  a dumpster minnie's remains wouldn't be found for   another four days she was just 13. for 22 years  investigators were left scratching their heads   all they had to work with was a small sample of  their unknown killer's dna left behind on mini   sweater every time they ran the sample through  their system it came back with zero matches this   was likely the first and only time their man had  struck meaning his dna profile wasn't on record   for a time the police believed that the person  responsible was either mini stepfather or a   handyman that worked at their apartment building  but both of them had solid alibis anyone with   even a remote connection to minnie or her family  were questioned then questioned again there was   nothing to link any of them to her demise minnie  herself had a sweet and caring disposition and was   known as the cinderella of her apartment block  nobody held a grudge against her or her family   needless to say with no suspects and very little  evidence to work with the case quickly went cold now it used to be that if you randomly killed  a complete stranger there'd basically be no   way to link you to the crime provided  you didn't have any dna evidence on file   well i'm happy to say that's changing   new advances in forensic science have made it  possible to track down perps who don't have any   dna on record and that's exactly how jupiter joe's  past misdeed came to light using new and advanced   familial dna matching technology forensic experts  were able to map their elusive killers family tree   this technique doesn't require there to be a 100  identical profile on record but instead identifies   partial matches thus linking the suspect to  family members already in the dna database   their search came back with a strong match  a male whose dna was so similar to the burps   that they must have been their biological father  from there they just had to find that man's son   joseph martinez a.k.a jupiter joe as it turns out  joe had lived in the same apartment building as   minnie and her family back in 1999 despite having  been questioned back when the case was still fresh   he was never considered a suspect now with all  eyes on him officers took a sample of his dna   it matched perfectly with the  sample found at the scene back in 99   on november 30th of this year joe was taken  into custody a historic arrest considering   it marks the first time the nypd has used  partial dna matching to identify a burp   though now 49 year old joe has yet to stand trial  with so much evidence against him it's safe to   say this case has finally been solved for 22  years he believed he had gotten away with murder   well i'm glad to say justice  finally caught up with him this is 21 year old university of virginia student  otto warmbier in early 2016 otto was scheduled to   visit hong kong as a part of a uva study abroad  program but otto had his heart set on visiting a   very different asian country whilst on root he  contacted young pioneer tours a chinese-based   adventure tour company who promised destinations  your mother would rather you stayed away from   such places included the irradiated ruins  of pripyat the wild rocky frontiers of   afghanistan and also otto's desired travel  destination the hermit kingdom of north korea   otto arrived in north korea's capital pyongyang  on the 29th of december 2015. his tour group   included 10 other american citizens as  well as a liverpudlian named danny gratton   danny remembers that the tour group were  a like-minded band of mostly young people   and despite their risky location there was an  overwhelming atmosphere of fun and excitement   naturally all tall groups that enter pyongyang are  strictly controlled by the north korean government   but during the new year tours the kim regime  tries to show its guests that it parties just as   heartily as the next country implies the tourists  with vast amounts of booze dany gratton remembers   the group drank very heavily in pyongyang's one  and only hotel for foreign guests however there   is one floor of the yanggakdo international hotel  that is forbidden to foreigners the so-called   secret fifth floor that houses the hotel staff the  fifth floor is devoid of any kind of luxury with   bare floors and gray painted walls the only color  comes from propaganda posters that line the walls   foreign knowledge of the floor's existence has  given rise to a kind of fifth floor challenge   daring tourists to venture into the forbidden  hallways sometimes just a peek sometimes to take   a few pictures those who are caught usually just  receive a warning or have their cell phone seized   but at exactly 1 57 am on new year's day a man  purported to be otto warmbier was caught on camera   entering the forbidden floor this figure  supposedly tried to steal one of the propaganda   posters then left empty-handed just over 24 hours  later otto and the rest of the tour group were   sitting in the departure lounge of pyongyang  airport awaiting their flight back to beijing   danny gratton remembers swapping contact details  with otto only to see a gang of north korean   officials approaching with a look of urgency  about them otto frederick warmbier one of them   said please come with us well that's the last  time we'll ever see you again danny half joked   but otto didn't look scared at all in fact he  gave a kind of half smile as he was led away   the group briefly awaited his return but when  their plane was ordered to take off without him   they began to fear the worst although north  korea admitted to detaining otto it took   them six weeks to announce their reasons  for doing so that reason being subversion   according to the group that otto was with he  wasn't even in the hotel that night and the person   in the cctv footage didn't even resemble him  still the north koreans went ahead with the trial the picture you're looking at is of otto's  first public appearance since his arrest   one in which he begged kim jong-un's forgiveness  it was a complete show trial otto gave a coached   confession admitting to trying to take the  poster pretty much just reading from a script   if he played along he was told  he'd be let go with a warning   at this point though it does appear that he  broke character genuinely pleading for his life   it was widely believed that the u.s state  department would secure otto's release before   sentencing however the north koreans shocked the  world by condemning him to 15 years hard labor   the u.s continued to demand otto's release and  after a while the north koreans eventually gave   in when things started getting heated however  when otto was delivered back to america he was   severely brain damaged and in a vegetative state  everyone was horrified the north koreans claimed   that otto had fallen into a coma after  contracting botulism shortly after his   trial possibly as a result of eating rotten  food this is doubtful as one doctor put it   for somebody who had supposedly been bedridden  for more than a year his body was in excellent   condition in otto's case there are definitely  things the north koreans aren't telling us   having lost all hope cynthia and fred warmbier  requested that otto's feeding tube be removed   he passed away on the 19th of june 2017. his  story constitutes a terrifying cautionary tale   that speaks to the mercilessness and brutality  of the kim regime looking at this photo of   otto begging for mercy knowing he wasn't  going to get any it's truly haunting stuff twenty-five-year-old lee hua better known  online as chris lee is or perhaps was   a chinese journalist and content creator  with almost 70 000 youtube subscribers   prior to making his videos he worked for  cctv china's biggest state-run news channel   now if you know anything about china it's  that freedom of expression isn't high on their   to-do list and those who either criticize the  government or otherwise make it look bad are often   silenced when chris became disillusioned by  the amount of censorship going on at cctv   he of course decided to quit and instead  began filming his own informative videos   this time documenting the truth  and giving his own honest opinions   if you head over to chris's channel you'll see  that he only has seven videos the first we'll deal   with let's call it the current global situation  the big c they were all uploaded between the   12th and 25th of february 2020 so just when the  severity of the situation was dawning on us all   he filmed these videos at the epicenter of  this whole thing ground zero you all know where   chris had heard through the grapevine  that a prominent lawyer named cheng kyushi   had started vlogging about conditions  in the city while reporting there chen   had mysteriously disappeared and to this  day hasn't been seen or heard from again   believing there was some type of cover-up going  on and that chen had been permanently silenced   by the state chris traveled into the red zone to  uncover the truth with the help of some locals   he was able to find an apartment in the city and  got himself a vehicle from there he began blogging chris took his camera to the streets conducting  interviews visiting hospitals and exposing   the failures of his government to the entire  world and showing how they were intentionally   concealing what was going on there but  he was saying too much showing too much   and it wasn't long before the strong  hand of the government came knocking you don't have to be able to read mandarin to get  the meaning behind chris's first and only youtube   short this live video entitled sos is only 30  seconds long and shows a clearly terrified chris   as he travels down the motorway he states  that moments prior a white suv was driving   directly at him down the wrong side of the road  apparently it suddenly swerved in front of his   vehicle in an attempt to block his path  and the men inside told him to surrender   he instead hit the accelerator and the suv was now  following him friends i'm on the road right now   being pursued and chased by state authorities who  are in an unmarked van the only thing i can do   right now is make this video i'm in i'm driving  very fast and they're chasing me pray for me soon after uploading this chris made it back to  his apartment and immediately began live streaming   the stream lasted for nearly four hours the  majority of that time the screen remained black   as chris sat in the dark lights off not making  a sound hoping the men chasing him would think   he wasn't home at various points you can hear them  outside knocking on his door after hiding in the   dark for over three hours a distressed chris  turns on the lights and addresses his viewers oh i predicted this would most likely  happen but i never knew they'd buy me so   quick i'm not gonna try and escape because  there's no use now i just think it's funny   before coming to after i resigned from cctv i had  a long talk with my producer it feels so unreal   before when i turned on the camera to talk  it was for others today i can finally speak   my own thoughts but these own thoughts  will probably become my final speech at the very end of the stream as chris's  internet connection gets weaker and more   patchy he begins talking to the men outside his  apartment explaining why it's important for a   journalist to report the truth and appealing  to their decency he then opens the door   two men entered the apartment and the video  ends abruptly for two months after that chris   was missing he didn't make any more videos and  his viewers feared the worst then on april 22nd   2020 after two months of silence chris suddenly  uploaded a six minute video titled i'm chris   here is something about me since february  26th february 26 was the day he disappeared this video seemed completely out of character  the style of the video was totally different   from all of his other uploads as was  his neutral tone and despite being   critical of the ccp in the past now he was  singing their braces and announcing himself   he said that he was fine and that he had been  treated very well the whole thing seemed oddly   scripted like chris was being forced by the  state to make this video against his will   he just stands in the center of the screen  in some blank featureless room robotically   delivering his message chris even ended the video  with a strange quote from the book of documents the setting the delivery  everything about this video   makes you wonder who's standing just off screen since that final video chris hasn't  uploaded any new content and hasn't   made any posts on his social media accounts  either he simply vanished from the internet   with china's dodgy human rights track record  many have become concerned for chris's safety   and well-being myself included many suspect he's  been placed in a re-education camp others fear   something even worse might have happened to him  but what chris did was incredibly important he   expressed the truth about the global situation at  a time when true reports out of china were hard   to come by he was brave enough to speak out  and i fear he may have paid dearly for that if you're looking for some weird videos that give  off strong uncanny valley vibes there's a channel   on youtube called florescetadreams let's take  a scroll down their home page and oh okay some   of these thumbnails are a bit strange yeah this  channel is a bit of a trip and that's even before   watching one of their videos if you decide to  go that far then things only get more bizarre it doesn't help that they're all in spanish either  still i don't think you need to be bilingual to   appreciate just how weird this content is  strange images unsettling sounds a million   questions but as much as i and i'm sure you can  appreciate the creepiness of all of these weird   images and sounds there's actually more going  on under the surface in these videos well in   one of the videos at least they're most popular  a video titled kinetica del patron celine delgado i don't recommend you watch this video late at  night by yourself there are some really disturbing   images in it that i'm not going to show here but  they're certainly not for the faint of heart so   stay away if you're not into that but without a  knowledge of spanish or an understanding of the   context it would be easy to write this whole video  off as some sort of creepy art project designed to   leave a bad taste in your mouth though there's  definitely some intentional shock value here   this video actually puts forward an interesting  hypothesis first some backstory televita is a   mexican multimedia company that effectively  has a monopoly on the nation's tv industry   back in the 90s and into the 2000s they played  this segment on channel 5 called serbicio ala   communidad a community service broadcast that  would play in between shows throughout the day   the whole thing was designed to help find people  that had disappeared very similar to an amber   alert during each segment the names and faces  of missing people would be displayed one by one   and the announcer would tell you their last  known location the show is still remembered   and talked about to this day mostly by those  who grew up watching it when they were young   in fact the broadcasts were  targeted at a younger audience   it played during the commercial breaks of cartoons  another family-friendly shows and given the   bleak and somber nature of the announcements it  scared a lot of young viewers one minute they'd   be immersed in their favorite show not a care  in the world then they'd be interrupted by this period as one youtube user noted in the comment section  of this broadcast there you were sitting on the   couch sipping a glass of choco milk at 8  or 9 am when the shrill sounds of cartoons   and ads for toys and junk food were suddenly  interrupted by an agonizing ominous silence   the voice of the announcer forever recorded in  your memories describing unknown persons giving   you dates and describing disappearances  can people really get lost for so long   all of the while that ominous silence gloomy  and empty made your blood run cold as a wave   of questions and fears possessed your mind what  if that happened to me or to my mum or my dad   or some other member of my family no that  couldn't happen to me right so that was   the whole premise of the segment missing people  appeals for information and if you went missing   in mexico there was a decent sized chance that  your face would pop up in one of these broadcasts   the most famous face to air during sabithikova  communidad was undoubtedly salina delgado lopez   during its long television run selena featured in  almost every iteration of sabithiko ala communidad   the weird thing was only this  one photo of her was ever used   a low quality grainy image set against a  white background little information was   ever told about her other than the fact that  she was 18 and disappeared in mexico city   from the beginning a lot of viewers agreed  that there was something off about this photo   not everyone could quite articulate what it was  exactly but there was something unsettling about   cellini and the fact that her face popped up  every so often meant that it stuck with them   this later sparked several rumors about her  including the theory explored in florecita dreams   video that selena delgado wasn't a real person  the grainy picture combined with her relatively   generic facial features led many to speculate  that selena's photo was computer generated   as these rumors started gaining  traction people began digging deeper   strangely no public record of any missing  person named celine delgado lopez could be found   after that got out this theory became  a full-blown mexican urban legend   and as the internet became more widespread so too  did the theory that selena delgado never existed   to help spread the legend further people  started posting hooks videos online like this this image was made around the same time celine  reportedly disappeared it's actually a composite   of derrick todd lee the baton rouge slayer  but has since become associated with celine   due to the facial proportions of this composite  being very similar to that of selena's face some   have suggested that this was one of the templates  used to digitally generate celine's photo floracy   to dreams makes the same claim they supposedly  proved this by using a 3d modeling program   demonstrating that celine's space was made from  an amalgamation of other images both real people   and other composites according to them selena's  face is too similar to these images to be real   and that her photo was constructed using features  from various spaces if that's true then that means   the channel 5 broadcasters intentionally chose  to include this fake person in their segment   selling this picture certainly left a lasting  impression on everyone who saw it so it's   possible it was included as a sort of warning to  all of their young viewers stay vigilant and safe   personally i'm not sure this theory holds up i  mean sure selena's face is pretty generic but   by definition so are most people's and yeah the  camera is pretty terrible but this was the 90s   and poor mexican families at the time wouldn't  have had access to high quality cameras there   was no public record of selena going missing sure  but since 1964 a staggering 214 000 people have   disappeared in mexico it's possible her records  were either lost misplaced or not even filed in   the first place the authorities may have simply  had too much else going on to bother with her   not to mention with so many missing people in  mexico it's not like channel 5 had to resort to   making up stories and lying to  drum up attention for their channel   so as it turns out channel 5's twitter page caused  quite a stir last year when for a while they began   posting extremely creepy videos at around 3 a.m  every night only to delete them a few hours later so that's some really strange content for a  professional company's twitter page to be posting   but what really caught everyone's  attention was when they posted this   captioned celine obviously a  reference to celine delgado now clearly this was all a marketing tactic with  the creepy videos all being distorted versions   of other clips found online some more famous  than others channel 5 themselves are clearly   aware of the celine mystery and used her name  to get on twitter's trending page but what this   goes to show is that channel 5 aren't exactly  above this type of ploy making it more plausible   that they faked the image of celine back in  the 90s just like floresceto dreams asserts   whatever the truth behind the selena delgado  mystery her story's been very well known in   spanish-speaking internet communities  for a long time however a fairly recent   development brought the urban legend to  the attention of the rest of the world   so if you go onto facebook right now and search  the name celina delgado lopez this account pops up   the woman in this photo sort of resembles an aged  up version of the original grainy photo of celine   intrigued users clicked on her profile  curious if this might be the real celine   was she real after all and if so was she alive to  their horror everyone who clicked on their profile   realized they were already friends with her  despite never having added her in the first place   more bizarrely there was no option to unfriend  her people started claiming that she was friends   with everyone on facebook and began saying that  the profile was haunted or otherwise nefarious   the account's profile picture ended up being  shared more than 126 000 times by spooch users   showing just how far this aruma spread  in reality this was obviously all bull   this selena delgado was simply an ordinary woman  who happened to share the same name as our subject   this celine had simply changed her facebook  privacy settings hiding the ad friend button   she wasn't everyone's friend on facebook after  all it's actually impossible to have more than   5 000 friends on the side after being bombarded  with messages this poor woman had to reply to some   saying i am not missing nor have i ever  been i'm at home with my family and fine   to be honest i'm not even sure how this offshoot  of the delgado mystery became so popular   i guess one day someone just saw  that there was no add friend button   check the woman's name and linked it to the  popular mexican legend then boom hysteria spread   seriously do people not know you  can change your settings on facebook   since then there have been no new developments  and the truth about the original delgado broadcast   remained shrouded in mystery was she a real person  who sadly vanished without a trace never to be   seen again her family left without closure and  her memory reduced to a slew of fake urban legends   or did she never exist in the first place her face  a mixture of several others combined designed to   either scare youngsters into keeping their guards  up or to get people talking about channel 5.   i doubt we'll ever have any definitive  proof one way or the other to be honest   i mean personally i suspect the former but  hope for the latter the only thing i do   know is that uh this image yeah and that's  gonna stay in there for a while good night in january of 1983 a group of young boys were  playing in a wooded area on hohap mountain   near seoul south korea little did they know  they were about to make a grisly discovery   one of the youngsters pointed out a mannequin  lying in a pile of leaves in the distance   an odd thing to be in the middle of the  woods as they drew closer they realized   it wasn't a mannequin at all it was the  corpse of a young woman frozen stiff   with rigor mortis whoever she was the anguished  expression on her face suggested that she had died   in great pain morticians estimated that she'd been  dead for at least a month when the boys found her   her fingerprints identified her as 24 year old  kyonghi kim a barbershop worker from the city   in parts of asia there are certain barber  shops that offer more than just haircuts   and provide other services to their male clientele  let's put it like that well it was at one such   barbershop that miss kim worked at she needed  the money you see with no external injuries to   speak of it was determined that miss kim had died  from poisoning it seemed unlikely that she would   climb up mount hoh up in the middle of winter  just to take her own life and given the nature   of her work and the type of customers it attracted  police began their investigation at the barbershop   one of kim's most loyal customers was a 42 year  old man named dong sikli a plumber by trade   lily's true passion however was photography   he'd won numerous awards for his work something  he couldn't help but bring up in conversation   and he often held private photo  exhibitions for other enthusiasts   detectives surprised mr lee by knocking on his  door one evening and asking him about the death of   miss kim mr lee said that he didn't know anything  about it that he only enjoyed making use of kim's   professional services and nothing more naturally  though he couldn't help but bring up the fact that   he was an award-winning amateur photographer  that admission proved to be his downfall   the investigators asked if they could see some of  his pictures lee said he didn't have much time but   the investigators insisted really capitulated and  led them into the room where he kept his photos   among all of these hundreds of photos were images  of scantily clad women posing as murder victims   the investigators questionedly about them to  which he replied i have an affection for cadavers   well the photos were obviously staged  these weren't pictures of real dead women   lee's second wife was also in one  of the photos pretending to be dead   and in reality she was alive and well  clearly lee was just a weird guy who   viewed death as art and was playing out  his bizarre fantasy with paid models   but just as they were finishing up one of the  investigators noticed lee stealthily trying   to pocket one of the photos he grabbed it from  lee's hand before sharing it with his colleagues   one by one the detectives examined it and looked  up at each other with knowing expressions there   was no mistaking it it showed what appeared to be  a dead miss kim lying on a pile of leaves wearing   the same clothes she had been found in they  immediately searched lee's basement and found   20 even more disturbing photos they were all of  miss kim and they were time-sequenced showing her   writhing on the ground clutching at her chest and  gasping for air they'd been taken as she lay dying   lee was immediately taken into custody of course  he maintained that he hadn't taken miss kim's   life and that she was just another model posing  for the camera he admitted that he had gone up   to hole up mount him with miss kim but that it  was just for a photo shoot he said he left the   mountain without her and that someone else must  have come along after that and taken her life   very coincidental well it was obvious to everyone  that playing pretend wasn't doing it for mr lee   anymore he had taken things a step further and  decided to live out his dark twisted fantasy when   forensic specialists zoomed in on the photos of  miss kim they noticed that the hair on her skin   was gradually drooping more and more in each  consecutive picture something that happens   as a person perishes that proved that she wasn't  just acting as it turns out lee had manipulated   miskim during one of his regular sessions at the  barber shop he had gone there many times over the   course of three weeks and charmed her with stories  about the award-winning photos he had taken   the amazing exhibitions he put on and the models  he had made famous oh by the way miss kim you'd   make a great subject yourself i bet i could make  you famous too he had told her after regular   visits he had gained miss kim's trust so when he  invited her to a private photo shoot up on mount   hoap she of course said yes this could be her big  break her chance to finally live a decent life   on december 14th 1982 the pair walked to that  secluded area of the woods for miss kim's first   and last portrait session as elise set up his  camera he remarked how chilly it was that day   and offered him a tablet which he said was called  medicine it'll prevent you from getting sick he   told her trust me well she did and gulped down one  of the pills but it wasn't called medicine at all   the capsule actually contained potassium cyanide  it wasn't long before her insides began aching   then burning as she fell down into the leaves  lee was ready and waiting with his camera   as she begged for help all  he did was take her picture   again and again the last thing she likely saw was  the camera's flash before everything went black   four years later mr lee's own world faded to  black too when he was executed on may 27 1986   before his sentence was carried out lee stated   the way a human being dies it's art  i only took artistic photographs this is the reconstructed face of bitter  creek betty also known as rose doe due to   the distinctive rose tattoo on her chest on march  1 1992 a track driver in sweetwater wyoming came   across what he thought were two trash bags at the  bottom of an embankment on the side of the road   as he examined them from a distance he realized  what he was actually looking at the body of   a woman face down in the snow completely  clotheless quickly radioed in his discovery   although she'd been dead for between one and five  months before being found all the snow meant that   bitter creek betty had stayed well preserved in  fact she was so thoroughly frozen that it took   a full 24 hours for her remains to thaw out after  which the coroners made some gruesome discoveries   they determined that the unknown woman had likely  been killed with an ice pick which had been thrust   up into her left nostril other signs of physical  trauma were also present around her neck and face   given that betty was found in bitter creek an area  just off the i-80 america's busiest east to west   highway investigators theorized that her body  had hastily been tossed from a transport truck   betty's fingerprints were scanned but no matches  were found as such this composite was created to   show what betty may have looked like when she was  alive a postmortem photo with drawn on eyes was   also released but it's quite eerie to look at so  i won't show that here regardless believe me when   i say that this is one instance where the police  sketch is actually very accurate after examining   her dna forensics showed that bitter creek  betty was of south american and european descent   she was five foot eight weighed around 125 to  130 pounds and was between 24 and 32 years old   though she had no clothes on when she  was found she was wearing some jewelry   notably a gold necklace and a gold  wedding ring on her left ring finger   that strongly suggests that our dough had a  husband making it stranger that nobody had come   forward to claim her remains or even report  her missing a caesarean scar on her abdomen   indicated that she had also given birth at least  once in her lifetime as previously stated she had   a distinctive rose tattoo with chinese lettering  on the stem this tattoo was traced to a business   in tucson arizona the artist underwent hypnosis  to help the detectives with their investigation   through this method he was able to remember that  ardough had come into the store in june 1991   that she was a hispanic hitchhiker who  spoke without an accent and that she'd been   wearing a brown dress detailed with the yellow  flowers that dress was depicted in her sketch after bitter creep betty's remains were examined  her case was linked to another unidentified murder   victim utah's sheridan county jane doe dna found  at both scenes suggested that a serial killer with   blood type o was responsible for their slayings  that development later proved hugely significant   28 years after betty's body was found in may of  2020 a long-haul track driver named clark perry   baldwin was arrested not only for her slaying but  also for taking the lives of sheridan county jane   doe and a tennessee woman named pamela mccall  pamela was pregnant at the time she was slain   and as such the 59 year old was charged with four  counts of first degree his trial is still ongoing   it's likely that baldwin took the lives of  many other women during his active years   and a few other jane doe cases similar to bitter  creek betty's are now being reinvestigated   among them north carolina's new hope jane doe who  was also found dumped 15 feet down an embankment   along the i-40 her shoes have been  taken as some sort of sick souvenir   though it seems likely the purp imbiticrete  betty's story has been found and will face justice   her identity still remains a mystery thus far  nine people have been ruled out as possibilities   it's strange to think that some were  out there this woman had a husband   and a child but her body still remains unclaimed   sure they may have become estranged prior  to her demise maybe they even passed away   before that point too but it just seems like  somebody out there must know who she was   why haven't they come forward why was she never  reported missing on the bright side of all the   cases i've covered and will cover in this video  betty's is by far the most likely to be solved more than a quarter of a century has passed since  windy point jane doe's body was found in colorado   and all these years later her  true name still remains unknown   back in 1994 her skeletal remains  were found scattered above divine road   near windy point campground for all anyone knows  they could have been left there years prior with   nobody ever coming across them in her case  foul play was instantly suspected forensic   scientists did their best to create this image  of what jane doe may have looked like in life   yeah unfortunately the technology wasn't quite  there at the time i'm getting some strong uncanny   valley vibes off this one for years this was  the best that detectives had to work with and   although the reconstruction actually generated  a few calls none of them led anywhere without   the woman's identity or anything else to work  with there was little the investigators could do   well that was a long time ago and technology  has improved leaps and bounds since then   nowadays efits can be generated using familial  dna collected from genealogy sites like 23andme   or ancestrydna by analyzing the dna of people  distantly related to john and jane does far more   accurate composites can be created to show us  what the victims may have looked like in life   in may of 2019 such an effect was created for  windy point jane doe using only the dna collected   from her bones as you can see the updated  effect is quite different from the original   with these new advancements forensic experts  were also able to conclude that she was between   35 and 45 years old when she died that she was  5 foot 4 inches tall and that she was caucasian   with auburn-coloured hair though this new image  is yet to help authorities uncover windypoint's   true identity i've included this one to show just  how much better these reconstructions are getting   how technology is helping to  give new life to the long dead   and how even when we can't give a doe back their  name we can at least give them back our face in northeast hong kong there's a popular  recreational area called sai kung it's famous for   its hiking spots beaches and for its inordinate  number of disappearances and deaths saikung itself   isn't particularly big but the natural beauty of  the peninsula has basically remained untouched and   it's full of long and winding trails so it's  easier to see how people might get lost there   that being said there are signs and  markers all along the hiking routes   and each signpost has its own unique  set of coordinates written on it   if you were to get lost somewhere or feel like you  were too weak to continue your hike all you'd have   to do is call for help state the coordinates on  the nearest sign and help would be on the way   that makes it all the weirder that so many people  have vanished or perished while exploring sai kung   especially when you consider the mysterious  circumstances surrounding each incident in september of 2009 an off-duty police  officer was out hiking alone in sai kung   he called the emergency services for help and  told the operator that he was lost and needed to   be rescued thankfully he was right next to one of  the mark signposts so he read of its coordinates   to the operator strangely the coordinates  he provided didn't match with any on record   meaning the operator had no idea where the officer  actually was the call then ended abruptly and   despite an extensive search and rescue effort the  lost officer was never seen or heard from again   to this day his whereabouts or more accurately  from the whereabouts of his body remain a mystery   this incident quickly captured the public's  imagination and a movie was even made about   the officer's disappearance called  missing his mysterious vanishing   didn't surprise some locals however it had long  been believed that saikung was an ominous place   according to cantonese folklore the  peninsula was home to some sort of   otherworldly portal or barrier  which one should never cross only one month after the officer went missing  a male and four females were out hiking in   the same area the male became tired and told  the women to go ahead said that he'd catch up   he never did the women went back to look for  him but found no trace of their missing friend   two days later his body showed up next to  the trail where they had been searching   his cause of death remains unclear to this  day this man was a boy scout troop leader   and knew his way around nature very well  adding to the bizarreness of his demise   later that same year a bus driver  was out hiking alone in saikung   when he didn't return home that day his family  tried calling his phone to check that he was okay   to their surprise a fisherman answered it  saying that he had found the phone in a river   the bus driver was never found   in 2011 another man called the emergency services  saying that he was lost on a saikon hiking trail   just like the lost officer before him his call  suddenly disconnected and he was never seen or   heard from again a number of other strange  deaths have occurred on the saikon peninsula   dating all the way back to 2005 right up to  more recent incidents in 2019 and even 2020   in each of these instances a lone male's body was  found resting beside a trail foul play suspected   in at least one of these cases but for the most  part there's been little evidence to suggest that   there's a serial killer loose on sai kung and the  majority of these deaths have been attributed to   accidental falls but what about the people who  have completely disappeared the cycling hiking   trails are all clearly marked well maintained  and aren't known to be treacherous routes most   of the dead and missing were experienced hikers  and were knowledgeable about the area and about   navigation and basic survival skills but here's  the most interesting part there is an account from   a man named chung who became lost in saikun but  actually managed to make it out alive according   to chung he was out hiking in the area when he  suddenly and inexplicably lost consciousness   he awoke at 8pm and tried to get back to  civilization but in his own words said that   when i tried to leave it was weird no matter how  far i walked i never got any closer to getting out   on his second day lost in the wilderness  he saw two people and shouted out to them   they didn't react to him but they both  disappeared right in front of his eyes   after resting for a while he saw another  figure come running right out of the tree line   he tried chasing after them  hoping they might help him   i chased that man all the way down said chong  he changed into people i knew and people i   didn't know during that chase but when i caught up  they all disappeared exhausted chung fell asleep   when he awoke on the third day he noticed  that several items he'd been carrying had   disappeared he also realized that his surroundings  had changed and that he wasn't where he had fallen   asleep the previous night he described the  area as having the vibe of an old graveyard   and during that day he apparently saw many people  that all disappeared as he reached out to them   on the fourth day he awoke to find  his surroundings had changed yet again   and that the rocks around him were all making  a strange rumbling noise he made his way down   the trail in front of him and all the while the  rocks continued to rumble eventually he ran into   a young guy from thailand difference was and this  guy didn't disappear he was real and he lent chang   his cell phone to call for help after four days  chang finally emerged from the saikung mountains   one strange thing that he and his rescuers  noticed was that jung hadn't been bitten   by any mosquitoes or other bugs during his whole  ordeal this was june and the mountains of saikung   were absolutely swarming with the little buggers  making his lack of bite marks extremely strange   a weird story to say the least but what do you  think did chung and the less fortunate souls   before him pass through the so-called saikung  barrier and enter some other plane of existence an   alternate dimension or can his strange experiences  be chalked up to dehydration and exhaustion   is there some mysterious portal on the hong  kong peninsula or are all of these deaths and   disappearances simply the result of accidents  if so whatever happened to the remains of the   other experienced hikers who still haven't been  found let me know your thoughts in the comments was september 26 2014 a warm day in iguala mexico  at approximately 6 p.m more than 100 students from   an all-male teacher training school arrived in the  city all of them in their late teens and early 20s   they were on their way to the capitol but made  a brief stop in iguala to commandeer a couple of   buses you see these students weren't traveling to  mexico city to do a relaxing spot of sightseeing   they were on their way there to protest against  the talateel student massacre that took place   in 1968. students from their particular teacher  training school were known for being politically   active and this commandeering of public  buses was a time-honored annual tradition   each year they'd take over two or three buses  drive north to mexico city and march against   the injustices that had taken place in 1968 and  in all the years since though quite annoying   for anyone hoping to ride those particular buses  that day their behavior was generally tolerated   by both the public and the police and since they  were using the buses for a good cause and always   returned the vehicles after each year's march even  the bus companies tolerated their annual escapades   as such the borrowing of the buses had always  been a relatively smooth and peaceful affair   but 2014's protest was set to  begin and end very differently   just like in all the previous years the  students joined together and took control   of several public buses they began their drive  from iguala to mexico city their spirits high   little did they know what was about to hit them  while on route to the capital police officers   and federal military forces intercepted the  buses and tried to force them to pull over   according to the authorities it was because the  students had stolen the buses strange considering   that they had tolerated their behavior in the past  and were quite familiar with this annual event   their actual motive for pulling the  buses over has been the topic of much   debate over the past seven years as have  the events that happen next according to   the police when they tried to stop the buses  the students accelerated and tried to escape   as such the police gave chase and began to  open fire on the buses to get them to stop   killing two students in the process they also shot  at another bus which they mistook for one that the   students had taken but which actually carried  a local football team the bus driver one of   the players and a woman in a nearby taxi were all  killed as a result of that mistake the surviving   students apparently jumped out of their vehicles  at that point and fled into the surrounding hills   the following morning one of the students who had  tried to run julio cesar mondragon was found lying   in the dirt his eyes had been gouged out and the  skin on his face had been played to the bare bone   this discovery made it obvious that there was  something more sinister than police incompetence   at play but here's where the mystery comes in  more than 100 students had gotten on those buses   that fateful evening in 2014. two of them were  gunned down by officers and one of them was found   mutilated the next day that much we already know  but 43 of the survivors never returned and were   never seen or heard from again after clashing  with the law they just vanished into thin air   for the past seven years the citizens of mexico  have referred to these students as the 43 and   have questioned debated and constantly protested  for answers about what actually happened to them   43 young men don't just disappear after  all stories from the surviving students   that actually did return from the hills  contradicted the police's official report   they said that when the authorities  pulled their buses over they complied   when their buses had come to a stop armed  officers and soldiers immediately began   opening fire on them there was of course panic  on board the buses at this point with students   dropping to the ground in order to avoid the  bullets that's why they fled into the hills   well some of them at least according to  eyewitnesses the police boarded the buses   and rounded up the remaining students those who  had avoided the bullets but were too scared to run   they then forced them into police vehicles  and drove off with them into the night   this convinced the public that the  whole attack had been premeditated   whatever had happened to the missing 43 students  nobody held that much hope that they were still   alive especially after bone fragments from two of  them were discovered in a river some speculated   that the mayor of iguala city jose luisa barca  ordered the students to be captured for disrupting   his wife's election campaign he then handed  them to a group of gangsters who killed them and   burned their bodies in a local landfill their bone  fragments were then tossed into the nearby river   this theory indeed seemed plausible given  that that same mayor had previously been   accused of murdering an activist who stood  against him so many people believed that the   mayor and his wife were responsible that they  started referring to this version of events   as the historical truth despite independent  forensic teams stating that it was unlikely   but as of october 2021 we can throw the historical  truth away and replace it with a real answer   as you might have gathered the police were  strongly involved and ironically it appears   they were partners in crime with the iguala cartel  just a couple of months ago transcripts of text   messages between the deputy police chief of aguala  and a local crime boss were released to the public   messages that proved the authorities had worked  alongside the cartel to round up torture and kill   the missing students in a cruel twist of fate  the buses the students had commandeered that day   just so happened to be part of an operation the  cartel was running and were secretly carrying a   cargo of heroin this cargo was about to be driven  over the border into the u.s before the students   inadvertently took control of the buses to be  clear the students themselves had no idea what   was actually hidden on the vehicles it was just  a case of taking the wrong bus at the wrong time   after the clash with the cops deputy police chief  francisco salgado valedares messaged gildado   lopez hasta dio the local leader of the guerrero  cartel salgado told the crime lord that he had   just rounded up some boys who had stolen his cargo  reading through the texts the fate of the students   becomes disturbingly clear deputy salgado told  crime boss lopez he had 21 students held on the   bus and 17 more cornered in a cave it's safe to  assume that the latter group were among those who   tried to run but who weren't able to hide cartel  leader lopez replied by saying he wanted them all   and that he had beds to terrorize the men they  agreed to meet at a place called the wolf's gap   to exchange the students and deputy salgado  told lopez to bring enough men to handle the job   what exactly happened to the  students after that remains a mystery   since aside from a few bone fragments none  of their bodies have ever been found but   from lopez's texts it's clear that they didn't die  quickly they had inconvenienced the wrong gangster   the people of mexico still have a lot of  questions about that horrible night in 2014   how were the students tortured where are  their remains if 21 students were captured   on the bus and 17 more caught in a cave that  only makes 38 what about the remaining five   since the real culprits behind the students  vanishing have only just been unmasked   we don't have all of the answers just yet but  we can now say with confidence that the young   men are dead that both the police and the iguala  cartel were behind their massacre and that the   previous mexican government were trying to cover  up what had happened although not specifically   stated in the messages it appears as if the  military were also involved in what happened   and helped to apprehend the students the cartel's  influence runs deep if there's one other thing   we can say with confidence it's that this was  a callous and unnecessary waste of human life   the massacre of so many young men it's enough to  make your blood boil deputy salgado has already   been incarcerated for his role in the slayings  crime boss lopez on the other hand was taken into   custody but was released over a supposed failure  of due process he remains a free man as we speak with a population of just under 2 million  the north vietnamese province of taibin   is one of the country's most  unique and well-known regions   with its name meaning great peace taibin is  essentially a distinct cultural island separated   from its neighbors by the great red river delta  yet tai bin is also the home of the tram family   who in 2002 fell victim to a mysterious and  terrifying phenomenon the trans were essentially   your average rural vietnamese family with four  different generations all living under one roof   the head of the family 65 year old tran vang rang  was the father of eight children two of which had   young families of their own they made their  living farming rice and business was so good   that the family were eventually able to construct  a second house right next to their original one   this was a huge point of pride for tram  van rang who saw no greater purpose in   life than to care for those who needed  him to the trans the future seemed bright   yet no one could have foreseen the  darkness that was about to befall them according to tranquil viet one  of the families eldest sons   the horror began when his younger brother  commenced construction of the new family home   days after the work started the family's  cattle suddenly became ill not long after that   the remaining livestock seemed  to collectively lose their minds   pigs ducks chickens they all went absolutely  berserk they fought amongst themselves and   ran into solid concrete walls as if they were  terrified by some unseen presence among them   some noted that the animals appeared to be foaming  at the mouth as if afflicted by rabies yet there   was simply no way that the rabies virus could  spread that quickly between animals that had   been sequestered into separate paddocks one by  one the creatures fell and within just a matter   of hours all except for one of his younger  brother's animals had collapsed and died in   this one creature a duck seemed to be the only  living thing immune to this mysterious plague   within a few days the same horrifying fate befell  their parents catalog too it was nothing short   of a complete catastrophe as almost all of the  family's wealth was tied up in their livestock   yet these animal deaths were only the beginning  the family's eldest son tran van viet was probably   the most successful of the trans siblings  he already owned a house of his own had a   five-year-old son and was described by all as  a healthy young man in the prime of his life   but soon tram vampirt began to suffer from  mysterious pains and after they failed to   subside he was admitted to hospital frustrated  doctors performed test after test but they simply   couldn't determine what was wrong with him after  a while tran vampirt found he was too weak to work   and soon began to display horrifyingly similar  symptoms to those suffered by the livestock   van began foaming at the mouth and suffering  intense seizures but still his doctors failed   to offer a logical explanation tragically  tram vampirt would pass away in mid-2002   leaving his wife a widow and his child fatherless  his death hit the family hard and when the same   bizarre symptoms were spotted in van's surviving  relatives the psychological effects were almost as   devastating as the physical tram van rang was  haunted by his son's death and began drinking   heavily yet the more he drank the more his  health deteriorated and barely a month after   van viet's death van rang would also fall victim  to the same violent seizures that took his son   now two of the tram family had fallen  victim to the same mysterious disease   three months after van rang's death  and in line with vietnamese customs   four generations of the tram family traveled out  to the cemetery in which their former patriarch   was buried with the intention of performing  a memorial ceremony among the congregation   was tran vanut as well as trambanut's young son  who joined him mourning his deceased grandfather   suddenly the young boy collapsed and right in  front of his grandfather's grave the child began   to suffer the same heavy convulsions that killed  van rang he turned purple before throttling at the   mouth and within just a few minutes of the episode  commencing he was dead in the days that followed   three additional members of the tram  family would be rushed to hospital   the tram mother nguyen tai dao  passed away during this period   suffering the same horrific symptoms  as her departed son and husband   tram vernurt soon joined his son in death his  grief rendering him physically incapable of biting   off whatever terrifying illness had gripped his  entire family travernet's wife was completely and   utterly heartbroken and moved away from tybin  in an attempt to escape her boundless grief   yet when she did she noticed something curious her  symptoms suddenly disappeared by that point word   of the tram family's five unexplained deaths had  frightened and captivated the vietnamese nation   hundreds of medical professionals police officers  and scientists descended on the family's farm   all hoping to prevent any more unnecessary  deaths for four straight weeks the vietnamese   investigation team would pour over the site of the  farm in hopes of solving the deadly mystery they   took water samples air samples samples of the food  the family had been eating the team even captured   a variety of local wildlife species vivisecting  them in hopes of uncovering the phantom disease   not even the tram family themselves were above  suspicion and on more than one occasion kwok   viet the last surviving trans son noticed he was  being followed by police officers in plain clothes   the plot thickened even further when farm  teeth harm van rang's mother and the eldest   member of the family died after being rushed to  hospital with the same symptoms as her relatives   during the course of her treatment the nurses  tending to her began suffering the same symptoms   of the phantom disease they complained of  aches and pains in almost random places   and one nurse even passed out while on duty   in the end the authority's official explanation  for the tram family deaths was pesticide poisoning   yet it should be noted that there was no trace  of any deadly pesticides present in the bodies   of the victims nor on any of the land they owned  what's more despite the official report blaming   a pesticide for the deaths it fails to name the  exact substance which killed off the tram family   so with the official explanation for the  family's sudden mysterious and no doubt   painful deaths being viewed as absolute godswollop  many vietnamese believe that their government is   covering something up this has led to a number  of conspiracy theories the more outlandish   revolve around evil snake spirits and other dark  presences that supposedly called tai bin home   the more grounded center around the idea that  the tram family were little more than guinea pigs   in a top-secret chemical weapons test many have  noted that the family's symptoms seem remarkably   similar to some cold war-era nerve agents and  while this theory may well hold some credence   i think i may have a more feasible alternative  if you remember the deaths of the family's   livestock occurred almost immediately after the  construction of their new home commenced vietnam   is a relatively poor country and although  downtown saigon might indulge in the same   vapid glamour as la or paris or london in  the countryside things are built to last   in all likelihood the trans would have  wanted their new home to last for generations   maybe even centuries therefore it's safe to assume  they wanted to lay solid concrete foundations then   in the course of digging up the earth maybe even  laying a few water pipes it's entirely possible   that the trans inadvertently struck a  mercury deposit which somehow ended up   contaminating their water supply just listen  to this list of mercury poisoning symptoms   abdominal pain constipation headaches  irritability and tingling in the hands and feet   these line up almost to the letter  with the tram family's symptoms   in severe cases mercury poisoning can cause  memory loss anemia seizures coma and even death   again the anemia lines up with tram  vampire to being too weak to vom   and tran vanu's son who suffered a seizure  so hard it snuffed out his young life   another article on mercury poisoning states that  quote unquote it causes almost 10 percent of   intellectual disability of otherwise unknown  cause and can result in behavioral problems   this accounts for why the tram family were  so mystified by their phantom affliction   it was messing with their brains so much that  they didn't know what to look for or even how   to look for it then there are the two nurses  who had aches and bouts of fainting just from   being in the presence of the elderly fam titan  in high enough concentrations mercury can indeed   contaminate the surrounding air enough to poison  someone as for the vietnamese government why would   they lie about pesticides being present at the  scene well in the most respectful way possible   the vietnamese government haven't always been the  most honest or transparent it certainly wouldn't   be the first time a government minister had  covered up a cock-up to save their own skin   what if many years earlier some government  official had been in charge of a gold mine   or was responsible for the burning of coal both  are activities that release mercury into the   environment but no doubt that same official  would be responsible for the cleanup too   but what if it was quicker and easier to quite  literally bury the evidence of negligence so   the team could finish whatever project they  had early that would mean a promotion for the   team leader maybe even a bonus for the rank and  file gold miners so instead they covered it up   granted it's pure speculation on my part but  little else could explain why the government would   lie about such a thing well in january of 2020 the  vietnam academy of science and technology released   a paper which concluded that quote unquote the  concentration of mercury in the coastal sediment   of taibin is five times that of other areas such  pollution is possibly a result of some misuses of   mercurial fungicides in that region therefore  it's necessary to carry out further studies to   fully evaluate the risks of this contamination  for example about its effects on the food chain   i hope the scientists who produced this paper  continued to study tai bin's mercury pollution   and i wouldn't be in the least bit surprised to  find out that their quest for answers leads them   right back to a little farm in the countryside one  where six members of the same family tragically   lost their lives to the same terrible mysterious  affliction in all likelihood someone somewhere   up in the chain of command in the vietnamese  government has the blood of the tram family   firmly on their hands perhaps the only real  mystery is if they'll ever face justice for it brian schaefer was a guy who seemingly had  it all a great family an active social life   a girlfriend who thought the world of him  and a very promising future in medicine   then one day in 2006 that promising future  disappeared along with brian himself during   a night out with a close friend the  young academic vanished from the face   of the earth in a manner that's left everyone  scratching their heads for the past 15 years   the investigation into his disappearance  led detectives down a deep rabbit hole of   unanswered questions trust me when  i say that this is a strange one   so join me as we try to answer this one  question what happened to brian schaefer back in 2006 brian was a 27 year old med  student in his second year of study at ohio   state university it was there that he met his  girlfriend fellow second-year med student alexis   wagner the pair fell deeply in love and alexis  was under the impression that brown was planning   to propose to her that very year most likely in  april during a vacation they had planned to miami   sadly it was also during that year  that tragedy struck the schaefer family   in march brian's mother renee  passed away from my dysplasia   brian and his mom were extremely close and  the loss of her hid him like a ton of bricks   still on the outside he appeared to be  handling things well according to his   friends at least and he continued to speak  excitedly about his upcoming trip to miami   there was nothing brian enjoyed more than  getting away somewhere tropical everyone who   knew him would tell you that brian enjoyed that  laid-back lifestyle that such places embodied   and that even though he was pursuing a career in  medicine of all things his real passion was music   he often spoke about his dream of becoming  a musician and living the easy life   he'd once written on his myspace page this  whole doctor thing is really just a job   only temporary until i get my  band together and put a record out march 31st 2006 was a friday it was also the  start of spring break now march had been a   particularly hard month for young brian not  only had the poor guy lost his mother but   he'd been pulling all nighters cramming for  exams even though his trip to florida with   alexis was only three days away the dawn of spring  break seemed like a course for early celebration   that evening brian met up with his father randy  for a steak dinner despite being obviously   exhausted brian told this old man that he had  plans to meet up with a friend later that night   that friend was clint florence he and brown were  former roommates and the pair were reportedly   close randy suggested that brian take things  easy maybe catch an early night brian objected   after the month that he just  had he needed a boy's night out   at 9 pm brian and klim met up at the ugly tuna  soluna a quintessential college bar in the arena   district of columbus and yes that is how us brits  pronounced tuna no comments down below please   brian's girlfriend alexis was in toledo visiting  her parents before their big trip to miami   he called her at around 10 to wish her good  night they exchanged i love yous and hung up   according to her he sounded completely  normal on the phone little could alexis   have realized that that was the last time  she would ever speak to her boyfriend   brian and clint went bar hopping all around  town that night visiting seven bars in total   klimt would later tell detectives that they'd  taken a shot at every location before arriving in   columbus's short north it was there that the duo  became a trio as they met up with clint's friend   meredith reed the three musketeers made their way  back to the ugly tuna soluna for one last round   they arrived around 1 15 am 45 minutes later when  the bar was closing clinton meredith realized that   brian had gone off somewhere they both tried  calling him several times but he didn't pick up   they waited outside the bathroom and when he  didn't come out with the rest of the crowd they   assumed he'd already gone home to his apartment  just a couple of blocks away but he hadn't brian's   girlfriend and father tried calling him constantly  during that weekend but he never answered the   phone when he missed this flight to miami on  monday april 3rd they reported him missing randy was really starting to worry at  this point the guy just lost his wife   had he now lost his son too sergeant  john hurst her father himself   understood randy's worries and he and his  team of investigators got to work right away   now usually in these types of cases there's at  least a clear reason why the person disappeared   or where they might have disappeared  to and that wasn't the case with brian   the detectives weren't even sure whether he'd  gone missing on his own accord or someone else was   responsible so they started from the most logical  place in the beginning and check the cctv cameras   both inside and outside the gateway film center  the building the ugly tuna soluna was located in   since that area wasn't the nicest part of town  there were surveillance cameras are plenty   surprisingly however the footage  generated more questions than answers   as expected at 1 15 am brian was caught on cctv  riding the escalator to the second floor with   clinton meredith and entering the bar shortly  after both brian and clint were again recorded   standing just outside the bar flirting with  two women brighton zacco and amber ruik   brian even reportedly kissed brighton on  the neck at 1 57 am the cameras again showed   him standing just outside the bar again with  brighton who put her number into brian's phone   she headed back into the bar to use the bathroom  when she returned brian was gone the footage   appeared to show him turn and re-enter the bar  shortly after brighton went to use the bathroom   those are his last known movements you see  the cameras never showed brian leaving the bar   a few minutes later at 2am when the bar  closed the cameras captured the blood of   people leaving the tuner heading down  the escalators and out of the building   investigators identified everyone who left the  bar that night and brian was definitely not   amongst them footage from all of the outside  street cameras were also checked but there   was still no trace of the guy brighton and amber  were tracked down and cleared of any involvement   dozens of officers searched  night and day for brian   all of the local hospitals and shelters were  checked the sewers were scoured sniffer dogs   were brought in to track his scent posters were  put up everywhere and a hefty award was announced   possible sightings of him in texas michigan  even as far as sweden were investigated   and discounted doors were knocked on questions  were asked but no one seemed to know anything   after he disappeared brian's apartment was burgled  this brought fresh hope to the case surely this   burglary was connected to brian's vanishing it  wasn't and turned out just to be a coincidence   brian's favorite music group was pearl jam and  front man eddie veda took some time off during   a concert to mention the case and appeal for  any leads nobody came forward with information   desperate for answers bran's father  randy paid a psychic to help find his son   and was told that his body was somewhere in  the olentangy river randy thoroughly searched   that river and almost lost his own life in a  whirlpool but ultimately found no trace of his boy   brian's girlfriend alexa scrolled his mobile  every night but her calls never went through   except for one night that is several months after  he disappeared when it actually rang a few times   before disconnecting brian's phone company later  said that it could have been a cellular glitch   his phone also pinged in hilliard just  14 miles from where he went missing   another glitch were evidence of something more  sinister since bryan disappeared in 2006 his phone   has never been used to make a call and his credit  card hasn't been used to make a single purchase   as bad a sign as that is to this day his  whereabouts and well-being remain unknown we'll start with the obvious  theory brian met with foul play   either he said the wrong thing to the wrong guy  at the ugly tuna saluna or looked at the wrong   guy's girlfriend the wrong way or went down the  wrong street at the wrong time on his way home   sure things like that happen all the time but  none of the other customers that night noticed   brian getting into an argument with anyone and the  guy didn't exactly have any enemies to speak of   so if there was somebody waiting to  jump him it was most likely a stranger   some people believe that brian's friend clint  was somehow responsible for his disappearance   or at least know some details about it because  even though he told his side of the story to the   authorities to this day he still refuses to take a  lie detector test personally i don't think that's   suspicious contrary to popular belief lie detector  tests are seriously unreliable and are just as   likely to get an innocent man into trouble as they  are to take him out of it clint's lawyer likely   advised him not to take the test a sound decision  and certainly not indicative of him being guilty   of brian's possible death that doesn't mean that  someone didn't kill him of course but the main   problem with this theory are those cctv cameras  the areas outside both the bar and the gateway   film center building in general were covered and  they didn't capture brian leaving the premises   where would the perp have jumped him  where would they have hidden his body so if there's no videotape of him leaving the  bar then brian's still inside the ugly tuna   soluna right as crazy as it sounds some people  believe that brian somehow died in the bar   that night after all the other customers had left  likely in the bathroom terrified of a lawsuit the   bar owner and his staff switched off the security  cameras both inside and outside the establishment   tampered with the footage which had  already been recorded and hid brian's body   either under the floorboards or within the walls  that would explain why he was never captured on   tape leaving the bar but it completely falls apart  when you hear that investigators searched the ugly   tuna saloona from top to bottom and didn't  find any trace of brine inside whatsoever   what about if they switched off the cameras  outside the building as well snuck him out   and disposed of his remains elsewhere well  that theory is still pretty hard to believe   not only would the owner have had to convince  his underpaid staff to go along with his plan   they'd also have to somehow get their hands on the  cctv footage of all of the surrounding businesses   though technically not impossible  that seems extremely improbable   still since there's still no explanation for  how young mr schaefer left the building that   night while theories like this are  bound to crop up speaking of wild one of the darkest and most controversial theories  is that brian fell victim to the smiley face   killers aka the sfk between the late 1990s and  early 2010s a surprisingly large number of young   well-educated college-aged men were found dead in  bodies of water across several midwestern states   we're talking hundreds of men at least 45  of these were determined to be the work   of either one or multiple killers and more  than 200 others are still being looked into   almost all of these slain men were athletic  popular and successful college students and   almost all of them were targeted on their way  home after spending a night on the town it's   been theorized that all of these slayings were  the work of one well-organized nationwide group   called the smiley face killers who targeted quote  unquote privileged men in at least a dozen of   these cases a smiley face was found graffitied  at the spots where the bodies have been dumped   it's said that the sfk communicate through  the dark web to select their targets   brian was six foot two athletically built highly  intelligent and from a privileged background   exactly the type of guy that the  sfk targeted with that in mind it's   easy to see why many internet sleuths  link the sfk to brian's disappearance   still it's never been conclusively proven that  the sfk are a real group smiley faces are a very   common thing for people to graffiti just walk  through your city and count how many times you   bump into one it's possible that their presence  at all these spots was just a coincidence with   no further evidence to prove that the purported  sfk was somehow involved in bryan's disappearance   or that they even exist this theory lacks weight  regardless it's a possibility i had to share so we know that brian wasn't caught on camera  leaving the bar we're also sure that he isn't   still inside there somewhere and that the  staff didn't tamper with the video footage   that must mean that he vanished in the  small space between the building's exit   and the outside area that the cameras covered  the so-called dead zone outside the camera's view   well as you can see that dead zone was only a step  or two there was nowhere for him to disappear too   nowhere that is but down just outside the  ugly tuna soluna was a service exit that   led to a construction site on that site  workers had dug a big hole it would have   been extremely difficult for brian to leave via  that exit without being detected but crucially   not impossible if he stayed close to the wall he  could have snuck past the camera's field of view   the whole theory then suggests that brian for  whatever reason stumbled out that exit wandered   into the construction site and fell into the hole  he either died or was knocked out from the fall   or unable to escape and at the end  of a heavy night simply fell asleep   the next morning the construction workers failed  to spot brian inside the hole and covered him in   cement perhaps brian's been much closer to home  all this time than anyone could have imagined   sadly this theory too has its flaws since  according to the construction workers at   the site if brian had fell into the hall it  would have been impossible for them to have   missed him so unless the building team just so  happened to all be opportunistic killers we're   right back where we started then again people  even multiple people can sometimes make mistakes   to me this seems like the  most plausible theory so far finally with no body and no suspects to  speak of is it possible that brian didn't   meet with a grisly fate at all and that  he actually went missing on his own accord   in my opinion though running away and starting a  new life elsewhere explanation rarely turns out   to be realistic i mean people have been searching  for brian for the past 15 years and despite having   a lot of defining features and his case becoming  quite prolific the guy still hasn't been found on   top of that setting up a new identity and starting  your life from scratch is no easy thing to do   especially for a guy in brian's position he  wasn't exactly a man with nothing to lose it   doesn't make much sense that brown would randomly  decide to throw away his relationships and career   prospects but what if it wasn't a random decision  like i said at the beginning of this video as   intelligent and academically gifted as brian was  he always longed for a simple life a relaxed life   the life of a musician maybe he'd gotten burned  out from his years of study maybe the prospect   of becoming a doctor all the long hours intense  workload and stress had him dreaming of a way out   with his girlfriend expecting a ring and  all the responsibilities that come with it   the realities of his upcoming future may  not have aligned with his expectations   i think we all know that feeling to some  degree that our lives are planned out for   us way too early and oftentimes that plan  isn't plan a sometimes that plan is somebody   else's altogether and in our heart of  hearts we want nothing to do with it   could it be possible that brian was secretly  having those kind of thoughts could it be   possible that he was planning on escaping the  life he was leading without telling a soul   it may have just been a fantasy that he was  playing within his mind until the loss of   his mother which could have pushed him over the  edge indeed renee's death likely affected brian's   mental state a lot more than people realized and  it's easy to see how that could have been the   emotional catalyst that finally made him decide  to shed his identity altogether and change the   path he was walking down in life his once crazy  fantasy may have not seemed so crazy anymore   as compelling as that all sounds this theory  still fails to answer that one negan question   how did brian manage to get out of the  building without being caught on cctv   some people have pointed out that he could have  somehow disguised himself and kept his head down   but neither his friend clint nor anyone that  he met that night said that he was carrying   a spare change of clothes that's definitely  the sort of thing you'd notice and comment on   one of the detectives on the case  also told the columbus monthly that   they were 100 certain brian hadn't left  through the main entrance in disguise   given that brian had been putting in heaps of  effort up until that point cramming for his exams   his decision to leave and never come back  was likely made in the spur of the moment   without thorough planning it's hard to see how  he could have left undetected wouldn't he have   just you know left fire the front door with  everyone else and walked off into the night   and i do mean walk since if he did decide to leave  he didn't take his car with him it was found still   parked outside this apartment would he have really  left something so useful and expensive behind   personally i don't think i buy this one in fact  i don't really buy any of these theories that's   what makes this case so bizarre nothing really  seems to add up so where does this all leave us unfortunately in a place without any answers   even if the truth does one day bubble to the  surface though bran's father randy will never   get the closure he so desperately craved he died  back in 2008 while clearing debris from his yard   a sudden windstorm caused a  branch to break off a nearby tree   it was caught by the wind and hit randy in the  head the next morning his neighbors found his body   there was an online condolence book where his  friends and loved ones left him goodbye messages   one of these messages read to  dad love brian u.s virgin islands   finally there was a development and brian's  brother and last surviving family member   derek had renewed hope that his long lost big  bro was still alive sadly this message turned   out to be a callus hoax posted by some anonymous  degenerate from a computer in a public library   shortly after an anonymous tip was made claiming  that brian's remains could be found in a field   just outside of columbus snifidocs combed  all of the fields on the city's outskirts   they found nothing just another cruel joke   many that were close to brown are sure that he's  dead his body hidden away somewhere in the city   they say that if he truly were alive he would  have returned home after the loss of his father   there's no way he would have allowed his younger  brother derek to go through life without a family   member by his side derek himself still remains  hopeful that his brother is alive somewhere   though and believes that bryan's friend  clint may know more than he's letting on   in derek's words i've always thought clint  definitely knows something just won't come forward   with it if brian did take off somewhere if that  is the case we just always had a strong feeling   that clint would possibly know that brian's former  girlfriend alexis also believes that clint might   be holding back information though she herself  remains certain that brian is no longer alive   saying that he would never abandon her  and his family as previously mentioned   a lot of suspicion has fallen on clint due  to him refusing to take a lie detector test   though i don't blame him for that it's entirely  possible that he is holding back some information   the pair were close and it's  possible that brian confided in them   told him about his plan to vanish that very  night and made him swear to never tell a soul   still that's just speculation then again  speculating is all we can really do at   this point it's honestly quite remarkable how  little evidence there is to work with in this   case how one man can so thoroughly disappear  from the face of the earth is anyone's guess   the biggest question of them all is how he  exited the bar without being caught on camera   without that first piece of the puzzle to work  with it's basically impossible to fill in the   rest of the picture but what do you think is  one of the theories i covered correct does   clint really know more than he's letting on is  brian alive or not in either case where is he now   let me know your thoughts down below and if  there are ever any new developments i'll be   sure to update you until then the only thing we  can be sure of is that someone knows something   even if that someone is  actually just brian himself in october of 1965 jonathan paul luna was  born in new york city to low-income parents   he spent the majority of his childhood in  the south bronx's paterson housing project   a high-rise post-war public housing development  situated near the iconic yankee stadium   following its completion in the early 1950s the  tenants who flooded into the development were an   eclectic mix of african americans hispanics  and southeast asians they shared their food   their music and their culture and like with  all peaceful diverse communities interracial   marriages became increasingly common as time went  by and this is exactly how jonathan's parents came   together his father being filipino and his  mother being african-american they were poor   but they adored their son and they supported him  both materially and emotionally and their support   paid off by the time jonathan was in middle school  his intelligence and industriousness made it clear   that he was destined for great things after high  school jonathan would attend fordham university   in his native new york city before moving down  to north carolina to study law at chapel hill   upon graduating with distinction he gained  a position at the prestigious washington dc   law firm arnold and porter eventually  using his experience to earn himself   a job in baltimore as an assistant united states  attorney in 1999 it was a true rags to riches   story a young man from the south bronx was now  one of the united states elite civil servants   and his paycheck most certainly reflected that  jonathan was now able to provide his loving   supportive parents with the kinds of luxuries that  would have been alien to them during their youth   it was a wholesome heartwarming start  to a brand new chapter in his life   but sadly it was one that would also end  in horrible and mysterious circumstances   by 2003 jonathan and his obstetrician wife angela  had started a small family and his career was   going from strength to strength it was also around  this time that jonathan became involved in a case   involving walter poindexter and dion smith two  men accused of using their recording studio as   a front to deal heroin but it seems he had more on  his plate than just a high-profile narcotics case   the previous year jonathan had overseen the  prosecution of those responsible for a rather   lucrative bank robbery some of the evidence in the  case included huge boxes of unmarked dollar bills   some containing tens of thousands of dollars  yet at the end of the case when all of the money   was being accounted for it was discovered  that around 36 000 of it had gone missing   despite his history of integrity and loyalty  jonathan was horrified to discover that he was   considered one of the main suspects following  the discovery that jonathan was in 25 000   worth of credit card debt and had suddenly  come into around ten thousand dollars that   he couldn't account for and the case  against him became very damning indeed   so while december of 2003 saw jonathan focusing  on the poindexter smith narcotics case we have to   be aware that these corruption allegations  were very much in the foreground for him   on the night of wednesday december 3rd jonathan  was working late on some plea deals at the   baltimore courthouse he had already been home  that evening to grab some dinner with his wife   but had returned to the office to finish up  the plea deals for the poindexter smith case   at some point after 11 pm jonathan received a  telephone call it's not clear who the school was   from but it was urgent enough for jonathan  to leave the office without his glasses   technically jonathan needed these glasses for  driving but whatever the phone call concerned   it was obviously important enough that he  didn't feel the need to return for them   even though he was about to  make a 200 mile round trip   after tracking his electronic footprint we know  that jonathan used an i-95 toll booth in delaware   then withdrew 200 from an atm at the  jfk plaza service center near newark   he then used the delaware river toll bridge to  access the pennsylvania turnpike then used his   debit card to buy gasoline at the sonoco king  of prussia service plaza at around 3 20 am just   after four in the morning his car exited the  turnpike at the reading lancaster interchange   but instead of using his easy pass jonathan paid  cash for a paper ticket then when this ticket was   handed back to the corresponding attendant  they noticed it had flecks of blood on it   blood that was later confirmed to be jonathan's   it's not known how he came to be injured in a way  that caused him to carelessly leave blood on a   toll ticket but it certainly sets a grimm home for  what would happen when jonathan parked his car at   the rear of the cincinnati weaver while drilling  company headquarters in denver pennsylvania   later that morning at approximately 5 am the first  of sensenegg and weaver's employees arrived to   begin their shift after grabbing some coffee and  tucking into their breakfast this employee saw a   red light shining out from some trees at the rear  of the building thinking it may have been a drunk   driver that had greened off the road the employee  went to check it out after walking through the   trees for a minute or so this employee came across  a car that had been driven into a nearby stream   lying in front of it face down in the water  was the lifeless body of an adult male still   wearing a suit jacket trousers and dress  shoes the sensor negan weaver employee   rushed to call 9-1-1 and when police officers  arrived on the scene they discovered that   the dead man was still wearing an id card  around his neck the name on it jonathan luna   a forensic examiner discovered a large pool of  blood in the back seat of jonathan's car with some   of it smeared on the driver's side door as well  as the bonnet his autopsy revealed a head injury   bruising to his chest and neck and shockingly  more than 30 different stab wounds inflicted   by a three-inch pocket knife the official cause  of death was determined to be drowning owing to   the fact that jonathan was found face down  in the stream and had water in his lungs   pennsylvania's lancaster county sheriff's  office as well as two separate coroners   all declared that jonathan's death was an  obvious homicide not only had they found a   second blood type at the scene but also a partial  print from someone else other than the victim   coupled with the grainy footage from one of  the gas stations jonathan had stopped at which   appeared to show him in the company of another  man the conclusion seemed obvious jonathan was   murdered however for some inexplicable reason the  fbi essentially took over the investigation before   swiftly declaring that jonathan had actually taken  his own life the fbi agents explained that one   of their reasons for coming to such a conclusion  was jonathan's lack of defensive wounds defensive   wounds occur when a person tries to defend  themselves from a potentially fatal attack   and often come in the form of stab wounds slashes  and bullet holes to the hands fingers and forearms   but if jonathan was sat close enough to his  murderer in the back seat for example and he   suddenly began stabbing him up close this might  adequately explain the lack of such injuries the   fbi also suggested that the shallow stab wounds to  his torso were what they called hesitation marks   forensic scientists define hesitation  marks as any of a series of shallow cuts   made by a person considering ending their  own life yet surely these kinds of wounds   are just as easily explained by the  chaotic nature of a violent struggle   the fbi even put forth a reason  for jonathan taking his own life   saying it confirmed his guilt in the theft of  the 36 000 from the baltimore bank robbery case   various other theories floated around for  a while some involving online dating sites   fake kidnappings and an fbi cover-up but  whatever happened to jonathan it seems very   very unlikely that he took his own life of all of  the methods with which a person might do so death   by 36 pen knife cuts followed by a shallow water  drowning is far from the quickest or most painless   and if jonathan had planned to kill  himself why take out two hundred dollars   if he didn't intend to spend it and why drive a  hundred miles to a creek in the middle of nowhere   in a case like jonathan's the only thing we can  truly be certain of is uncertainty there are too   many inconsistencies too many unanswered questions  so for arguably the most famous law enforcement   agency in the world to come out and definitively  declare that jonathan had taken his own life   that's very suspicious indeed interest in  jonathan's case has been widespread for quite   some time and in february of 2020 the pennsylvania  based lmp newspaper requested that a judge unseal   coroner's records pertaining to luna's death it  took almost a year for judge david ashworth to   announce that the documents would remain sealed  adding that releasing them would constitute quote   unquote a threat of substantially hindering or  jeopardizing the open active and ongoing criminal   investigation into the death of jonathan luna so  it seems this latest development in the lunar case   raises a new and much more sinister question  just what exactly does the fbi have to hide better known by herself nickname the don juan  of kishu was one of japan's richest and most   famous men he made his fortune in real estate but  grabbed headlines for his very active love life if   his nickname didn't give it away japan's very own  don juan spent his fortune wooing a lot of ladies   and when i say a lot i mean he'd apparently charm  the pants off 4 000 women well perhaps he didn't   charm them off i'm sure the 28 million dollars  in his bank account went a long way in helping   throughout the land of the rising sun the guy  became infamous and even penned a best-selling   autobiography in which he wrote about how he had  no interest in money and only worked hard to make   it as a means to seduce as many beautiful  young women as he could he reportedly spent   millions on his romantic pursuits and was  quoted as saying i know all this nighttime   activity may cause my death but if i can die  in the sack and go to heaven then i'm good   well you can't say the guy didn't know what he  wanted out of life one young lady was able to tame   the aging tycoon however in 2018 77 year old don  juan married 22 year old fashion model saki sudo   she described herself as a fashion model at least  in actuality she was a former adult movie star   now why might a young woman like  her marry an old man like him   it probably had something to do with the fact that  don juan promised her an allowance of a million   yen a month that's around nine thousand dollars  not too shabby their marriage had a slight road   bump however when only three months in old don  juan suddenly died under mysterious circumstances   on may 24 2018 the couple were eating dinner  together at don juan's home in wakayama when   he curiously dropped dead an autopsy revealed  a huge quantity of stimulants in his system   enough to kill a regular man several times over  the old mogul wasn't known to take any kind of   substances and the sheer amount of stimulants he'd  ingested meant this definitely wasn't an accident   the prospect of don juan taking his own life was  also ruled out that left one possibility homicide   news of don juan's death spread  like wild bar becoming the main   headline in every japanese newspaper  it was a real media frenzy still is   the don had spent the last four hours of his  life alone with saki his wife and with no   other witnesses or leads the authorities quickly  determined that she must have poisoned her husband   this was likely so she could get our hands  on a portion of his estate and business   his house in wakiyama alone was  worth an estimated 1.3 billion yen   just two months after her husband's death  sucky just so happened to make herself   president of his business empire and decided she  deserved a salary of 1.5 million dollars a year   she also transferred three hundred  thousand dollars from the business   into her personal account on the same day  she announced all this to her shareholders   suspicious eyebrows were also raised when  she was seen laughing and playing games on   her mobile phone during her husband's funeral  but why risk killing her 77 year old husband   why not just level her generous allowance  and wait for time to take care of him instead   well as it turns out saki wasn't the kind of wife  don juan was hoping for and it came to light that   he had served her with divorce papers shortly  before the night of his death divorce in japan   works a little differently to the usa and uk and  if the pair were to split saki would be left with   a pittance of what she could take by force still  she didn't admit to taking her husband's life and   with no clear evidence that she was responsible  saki remained a free woman for a time at least   for three years the case saw  hardly any new developments   in january 2021 however the authorities caught  wind that sakisouda was planning to move to dubai   permanently plans that had been delayed because of   the global situation detectives were sure that  she was the one responsible for don juan's death   so despite not having a particularly strong case  they decided to act before she left japan for good   on april 28th saki was arrested and held without  charge for questioning believe it or not in japan   the police can actually hold you for up to 23 days  without charging you they used all 23 of those   days during which time sucky refused to answer any  questions and continued to profess her innocence   regardless the authorities went ahead and  charged her with the slaying of don juan   seeing how this all happened very recently  sakisudo's trial is still in its early stages   due to the rush nature of the proceedings the  prosecutors still don't have much evidence to   work with but that doesn't mean they have nothing  during their investigation detectives found   that saki had been researching stimulants  online not long before her husband's death   traces of the stimulant that killed don juan  were also found on the floor and inside a vacuum   cleaner in the house suggesting that saki had  tried to cover her tracks before calling for help   what's more her phone records show that she had  been in contact with a shady substance salesman   a man who the prosecutors alleged sold saki the  stimulant forensic tracing proved that she and   the dealer were in the same place at the same  time shortly before don juan's murder took place   the final piece of damning evidence they have  and if you're an animal lover you might want   to cover your ears here is that mere days  before don juan's poisoning sakisudo's dog   also mysteriously passed away it's believed  that she tested the poison on her dog first   just to check that it would work before  trying to kill her husband with it   she didn't want don juan surviving and  pointing the finger at her now did she   well as you can see she actually did a  pretty good job of doing that all by herself   now admittedly most of this evidence is  circumstantial but it just might be enough   to see her go down for don juan's death she  had the means she had the motive and from her   phone and internet records it appears she  had the will the japan times are actually   keeping up with this case in english so be  sure to keep an eye out and see what happens the best things happen in the dark
