What a sweet boy. I'm usually not too fond of children so I normally don't say things like this, but he seems like such genuinely lovely child. Such a tragedy.

“One thing that is universal in chemistry and physical sciences is frequencies emitted by certain atomic elements. Therefore, intelligent alien life would most likely have an understanding of these frequencies as we do.” Why do we presume that these “universal “ things truly are universal. We have no way of knowing for certain.

Jack Donald Lewis (April 30, 1938 – legally d. August 19, 2002) is an American missing person who disappeared on the morning of August 18, 1997, after leaving his home in Tampa, Florida.[2] The investigation into his disappearance has stretched from Lewis's Wildlife on Easy Street sanctuary in Tampa, co-owned with his second wife Carole Baskin, to land owned by Lewis in Costa Rica. No evidence of Lewis being murdered has surfaced, but investigators believe it is unlikely that he disappeared on his own.[3] Lewis left behind over US$5 million in assets. He was declared legally dead in 2002 on the fifth anniversary of his disappearance.

Honestly, I’m inclined to think that it was actually another civilization. Radio waves have a relatively tight beam and if a civilization fired random beams of radio waves out, like what we did at one point in time, this is exactly what we’d see.

Tragic. She was only 18 when she died. Was it schizophrenia, which can show up at that age? Were drugs a factor? (There's no record of the doctor doing an actual toxicology screen to check her blood for chemicals.) You can't help but feel bad for her and her family.

Idk if this has been posted already or not. 1986 "Missing Boy of Somosierra", Juan Pedro Martínez. Kid's father is a truck driver. He is tasked with taking a semi carrying a tank of sulfuric acid from Cartagena to Bilbao, and brings his wife and son to make it a little family trip. When they pass through the Somosierra Mountain pass, the truck is reported as driving erratically, and then it crashes. The cabin is destroyed, both parents are killed in the crash, but kid apparently just f*****g *vanishes off the face of the earth* The "obvious" explanation is he somehow survived the crash and wandered off, but the area was thoroughly searched, and no trace of him was found. Some have theorized that the sulfuric acid dissolved his body. This wouldn't work either, because it would take longer than that to dissolve a body, and because it would have left traces. There are a few unexplained and unusual details as well: * Andrés was apparently a decent driver and in good health, and there was nothing wrong with the truck. Why was he driving so badly, especially through mountains with steep cliffs, with his whole family on board? * The truck's tachometer recorded a number of unexplained starts and stops that didn't match the traffic patterns. What's that about? * There were traces of cocaine found, not in the cabin, but inside the tank with the sulfuric acid. Why? * Unverified reports claim that two people arrived at the scene before emergency services and removed a small package from the cabin. Is this true, and if so, who were they, and what are they doing? * Almost a year later, in 1987, a boy matching Juan Pedro's description was reported in Madrid. He was accompanying an elderly woman, and they were asking about the location of the US Embassy. Was this Juan Pedro, and if so, who is he with, and why?

Ireland’s most beloved, Derby-winning racehorse, Shergar. Shergar was kidnapped by a gang on February 8, 1983. It's widely believed the IRA (Provisional Irish Republican Army) was behind it. They were believed to be seeking ransom money — Shergar was valued at £10 million — and allegedly ended up shooting him to death as he got too much to deal with. According to the BBC, though, little actual evidence was found at the scene, the gang never contacted them for ransom, and no one has ever officially admitted responsibility of the crime.

the location of Heinrich Mueller, the final Gestapo chief. He was last seen in Berlin, roughly three days before it fell. At the time, he claimed to be fully aware of what the Russians did to POWs and that he had no intention of being taken prisoner. He most likely had access to foreign documents as the Gestapo leader and knew how to duplicate them. He was sought after by the CIA and the KGB, but nothing of him has ever been discovered.

The murders of billionaires Barry & Honey Sherman found dead in their mansion in Toronto by their realtor. They were found with their necks tied, fully clothed on their pool deck with no signs of a break in. Well known philanthropists, Barry was in the pharmaceutical industry and they donated millions annually to multiple charities. The police originally believed it was a murder s*icide and didn't pursue other leads. The family launched a private investigation that found the evidence didn't support that theory and thus proved police incompetence. As the public became more interested, it was discovered there was a whole family dispute over inherited shares of the apotex company. The Sherman's nieces and nephews had launched lawsuit over their right to inherit shares which they lost and most accepted. The Sherman's children hired private investigators bc of the inept toronto police. It uncovered an unknown man leaving the property around the time of the murders. The case is fascinating and is the subject of multiple podcasts, a book, and movie

I wanna know about Cicada 3301. Basically in 2012, an image was posted on 4 Chan saying “We are trying to find intelligent individuals for our organization. If you have what it takes the first clue is in this image.” It was an incredibly elaborate puzzle, and solving the puzzle led to another puzzle. And another. And another. These puzzles ended up leading all around the world, in tons of different forms “including the internet, telephone, original music, bootable Linux CDs, digital images, physical paper signs, and pages of unpublished cryptic books written in runes.”
