The disappearance of child actor Joe Pichler (Beethoven's 3rd, Beethoven's 4th, Varsity Blues). I'm guessing drugs, but it would be nice to have closure.

R37 - About 3 or 4 years ago, a Millitary officer came forward at the urging of his wife to tell the British Authorities/Investigators what one of his colleagues had confided in him. It seemed like a fairly credible story as Millitary person told his wife in detail how the 'operation' was executed. The Millitary official's account was 'investigated' and quickly discredited. And never mentioned again. It was very eerie and troubling to read the little bit of information that was released.

It would be no surprise r45 that was discredited. I have a military husband and there are certain things he simply can't tell even me. It's part of his job there is only so much you can tell even those closest to you. There are certainly times in intimate moments etc that he can try to go there but i don't allow him to becase that stuff i don't want to know since i could never compromise his situation.

R46 - Time for someone to roast in a grease fire. I was married to a diplomat and they do talk.

He tries to talk to you about military secrets when you're fucking, R46? I don't blame you for shutting it down. The least he could do is talk dirty to you.

How is it being married to a gay man in the military these days? Are they treating you and your husband all right? I've been wondering how that's going for our servicemen.

None of that makes any sense. What was the 'operation' R45? What is the 'fairly credible story' you're talking about? What was the 'unfolding event' it was supposedly 'eerily close to'? Are we supposed to magically know what you're writing about?

Also, I won't 'oh, dear' you but "military" has one 'l' and is not capitalized.

Thanks grammar troll. R-49.

Google the story - I'm sure it's still on the Internet.

I did google it and what came up were references to some video game.

Unless you are talking about a stupid video game just to fuck with the crazy conspiracy nuts! Brilliant. Sorry, R50, I don't know video games so I totally missed your reference. Keep up the good work, these conspiracy kooks have got to go. I don't know where they belong but it certainly isn't the Datalounge.

Everyone on the DL is a grammar Nazi, at least all the good people. It's not trolling, it's just what we do. Also, if you wish to refer back to someone's post, there's no hyphen. It's "r" followed by the number with no space or anything else in between.

The 2003 disappearance of Matt Mullaney, an American student who never came home from a bar in Florence, Italy, but was later allegedly spotted in Amsterdam and Ireland. He was not depressed, and had no reason to disappear. His family has posted a huge reward for information.

R45, do you mean "operation" in reference to Princess Diana's death?

I'd like to know the Mystery of Oak Island, and also how they thought this could fill and entire season of television, instead of just a 45-minute TV show.

[quote] R34: what happened in Roanoke?

We know that half the Pilgrims in Massachusetts died over their first Winter. Only four adult women survived. They were at peace with their neighboring Indians and probably would all have died without their help.

As for the 115 settlers at Roanoke, they were left alone for three years with hostile Indian neighbors. So what happened? Their number dwindled by disease, starvation, and child birth. When their numbers were greatly reduced, and remaining adults were massacred, and the children that were not massacred were taken to be raised by and as Indians.

And then they were taken away by space aliens. The end.

What happened to Etan Patz?

I want them to find the tomb of Alexander the Great.IMO History's greatest mystery. Some say it was looted and demolished. I hope that's not true.

I want to know what happened to Hoffa, who I believe is either part of the cement in the foundation of some construction project, or part of a car bumber. Meaning I've given up on finding his body. They got rid of it in some very final way. But I would like to know the definitive fact-based story of what went down.

I want to know, like Noomie Rapace's character in Prometheus, where we came from. Because I believe there is intelligent life out there. Or therer was, and we are some kind of experiment, maybe even a last ditch experiement, and we are the "missing link". Maybe we were placed here, as on some kind of giant petrie dish to see what would happen.

lol r48 ( with you not at you). No it's not the need when we are going at it. By intimate in this case are just those moments where we're totally just vonulable with his each other ( and both of us can say we don't afford that privilege to any one else in the world) and just can vent with each other. Given the security issues here there are times i have to redirect.

The military thing it's actually been fine. We got married about a year and half ago and over half the wedding party were members of his regiment. It was a respect thing since he's earned their respect much more than anyone being politically correct. Haven't had any issues really with it. They know who to call should anything bad happen with him

Do people selling cars on Craigslist ever fucking answer email or text?

Who killed the Black Dahlia?

Be real careful about people who "sell" cars on Craig's list. You'd be better off tracking used car sales in a local community newspaper. There are scams out here, and it's danferous. YOU go to see the car, or make the purchase and you get robbed. Literally. One couple was murdered.

- Where is Shelley Miscavige? - I would like to see proof that Cheney / Halliburton orchestrated 9/11 (I believe it but want it to come to life). - The Moors Murders (I hear the institutionalised Ian Brady -who is still alive- taunts the families of victims by saying he could point the authorities within several yards of the bodies of their children). - Aliens or similar (but I am legitimately frightened of this, Prometheus was terrifying). - Who killed Natalie Wood? (and did Kirk Douglas rape her?) - What was in the note Whitney Houston gave to Brandy (the same day she fucked Brandy's brother and was found dead in a bathtub)

What really happened the night Assata Shakur was arrested? How did she really escape high-security prison and manage to flee the country? What did the police really do to her?

Alexander the Great's tomb would be an incredible discovery, but unfortunately he died in what is now Iraq so searching for it would be very problematic at this time.

Thanks for clearing THAT up, R55.

R55 was the spaceship named Croatoan?

The Springfield Three

How Adam Sandler continues to make movies.

Alexander's tomb was never established in Iraq. His elaborate casket was mounted inside an equally elaborate carriage and was beng transported from Iraq back to Macedonia in Greece, when Ptolemy, one of his generals, and his rumored half brother, whom he had placed in charge of Egypt, waylaid the carriage, and escorted it to Egypt. It was widely acknowledged to be in Egypt for centuries. Julius Caesar visited the tomb and so did Cleopatra and other notable historical figures. Where in Egypt he rested is a matter for debate. Some say he is in Alexandria, some say he is at the oasis near Siwa.

The lost dryer socks are inside something seasonal that you gave to Goodwill, or inside something you're saving to wear after you lose the ten pounds you put on when you quit smoking 14 years ago.

Alexander the Great's tomb is also one of my favorite mysteries. I think it was in Alexandria until after the rise of Christianity. At some point, after the fear and reverence for him as God had disapated, I think it would have been too great a target for tomb raiders to remain in existence.

I see on tv I can get a car for a third the cost of health insurance!

R76 - The key to solving your mystery lies within the answer to the following question: are you hot?

77 replies and not one of you heathens mentions God?

Not a mystery r78, doesn't exist. We're talking about things that have happened, not what Bronze Age people imagined might be a plausible story to tell to explain how they got there.

I just watched that Pixar movie Inside Out the other night (yeah yeah leave me alone with your snarks) and I found it quite insightful about how our psyches and personalities are formed. It was especially interesting to me because the storyline is about the changes a young girl undergoes after moving across country, and I moved around a ton when I was little.

Anyway, as someone who struggles with depression and anxiety I actually recommend the movie in terms of learning a bit more about how we tick.

Who killed Karen Silkwood?

And what the hell kind of name [italic]is[/italic] JonBenét?

The tomb of Alexander the Great, called the "Soma," Greek word for "body," by the inhabitants, stood more or less in downtown ancient Alexandria for centuries. At first he lay in a casket of gold, but a later Ptolemy melted that down for the money value, and replaced it with one of crystal. (There's a scene with a reconstruction of it int he Elizabeth Taylor "Cleopatra.") Contemporary celebrities visited it, including the Romans Augustus, who supposedly accidentally broke off the great man's nose, and the later emperor Caracalla, whose visit is the last recorded historical mention of the place. Over the years, it was looted by various people, with the emperor Caligula removing Alexander's breastplate and wearing it publicly. So it's debatable just how much remained in the tomb by the time it disappeared.

Earthquake, devastation, and Christian destructiveness all contributed to the general leveling of Alexandria. Interestingly, a current idea of one investigator is that Alexander's body was later transferred to Venice, where it was placed in what is now known as the tomb of Venice's patron saint, Mark, under the Cathedral of San Marco. The writer makes a good case for this, adding that Catholic Venetian church authorities have forbidden any DNA testing. But it is a valid idea, and shows how later Christians subsumed pagan locations and beliefs for their own uses.

The truth about Germanwings Flight 9525 and Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.

What happened to the menorah from the Second Temple stolen by the Romans and taken back to Rome along with enslaved Jews.

I doubt seriously Alexander the Great ever went to Venice. That sounds like some Da Vinci Code style B.S. I agree though, that his tomb was probably looted, ransacked, etc. All I would like to find is his bones. If Caligula did in fact snatch his breastplate to wear, then it's possible that he may have been brought to Rome, but I doubt it. It is more probable that Crazy Caligula had someone bring the breastplate to him.

I think Alexander is somewhere still in the area of Egypt. Not his wealth, but his bones. I think the mistake a lot of searchers make is that they still seem to believe they will find something intact, and I don't think that will happen. As I watched the developments surroinding the discovery of the tombs at Amphipolis, in the past few years, I found myself expecting that when or if they ever find Alexander (not in Greece) they will find essentially the same thing. A large ornate tomb, but with no valuables in it, just some wall and floor murals, some broken sculptures, and some bones.

I also wonder whether they can tell with testing? How would they get DNA? Every single member of Alexander's family was killed. His mother, his sister, his brother, and his kids. Did they ever find his father, Philip of Macedon? That would be the only chance. And if Philip was also Ptolemy's father as was commonly believed, how could we be sure the bones didn't belong to the Ptolemaic line? Now this is something I would love to see resolved in my lifetime. I've always been an Alexander fan.I laugh whenever the Greeks dispute his Gayness. He belonged to us!

The murder of Dian Fossey (famously played by Sigourney Weaver in Gorillas in the Mist) has also fascinated me for years. Does anybody know what really happened in her tent and who is responsible?

Where is the ark of the covenant?

See, R86. Probably another Historic artifact that was destroyed. I bet you the Crusaders melted it down and stripped it and took it back to "Christendom." Back then during the time of the Crusades they were anti Semitic, any Arab JEw haters as much as Muslim haters.

Sorry R84, Alexander's bones would have been worth more than gold. Even if he were mistaken for a regular old mummy, he'd have been stolen and eaten.

R86 &R87, Trajan's Column in Rome shows the great menorah from the Jerusalem temple being taken by the Romans when the city was sacked in 70 A. D.. The Arc was probably also taken then. They were used to fund the building of the Rome Coliseum, IIRC, and the column, I would guess.

The Dyatlov Pass mystery. I'm fascinated by it. I think there should be a thread about it on DL.

Not my #1 but I'd like to know who murdered Karyn Kupcinet

why i fart

I want to know where we came from. I believe we are the result of life from another planet. Maybe some experiement or maybe a way to perpetuate themselves. Something tells me we will know soon. There is way too much in common among various belief systems. If you look at legends and folklore, mytholgy among various ancient cultures and ethnicities, Old Testament, Hinduism, etc. etc. etc. the similarities outweight the distinctions, and all the unexplained architecture like Stune Henfe and the crop circles, stuff the recently found in Israel that replicates Stonehenge, it's too much. Ancient cave drawings and Egyptian Hieroglyphs, etc. I want to know!

Amy Bradley. Such a horrifying story. Did she go overboard, or was she really made a sex slave in Curacao?

The three missing women in Springfield, MO who disappeared without a trace in 1992. This is one mystery that's just baffling.

If the identity of the perpetrators of 9/11 were revealed beyond doubt to the whole world, the whole narrative of life in the USA for the last 14 years would crumble to ashes faster than the towers did.

I'd also like to know what parts of NASA's space program are real and what parts were faked.

Another missing person case that I hope gets solved is the Jodi Huisentruit case. She was a TV news reporter for a small Iowa city and has been missing since 1995. Different theories have been around and a recent theory is that serial rapist who was living in in the area killed her.

Was it really necessary to sink the Edmund Fitzgerald just to make a #1 hit song?

who is EAR/ONS?

Here is a mystery I would like solved but never hear addressed on Nova or on the Discovery Channel:

I understand why the Grand Canyon is so deep. The surface-plateau is far above sea level, and in the course of millions of years that the river has been there, it has cut down into the plateau, as it heads to the sea. Fine. But Why is the canyon so wide?" Even if the river was only a few feet deep, it's width suggests to me that the volume of water would have had to have been many times the volume of the Colorodo River today. And why would that be? And it would have had to be this width for millions of years. My hunch would be perhaps it was due to melting from ice ages, but I've never heard that proposed; nor any reason proposed, really. I've never heard them even say that they don't know why the canyon is so wide.

Does anyone know?

121. Aliens built it to hide their landing craft, that is why.

I'm with those who would like to know whether there is other sentient life in the universe.

Alas, that's not a mystery I expect to be resolved in my lifetime, nor in many, many human lifetimes hence,

You mean Jim Henson.

I remember when the Amy Bradley case was profiled on Unsolved Mysteries. I found it be very sad since she was vacationing with family and never got the answers. In the early 2000s, Montel Williams used to do a few episodes of his show each year that were devoted to missing persons cases. Amy's case was profiled there. From what I remember, an investigator working on her case was interviewed on Montel and no one from her family was there.

Those who are wondering about human origins, 60 minutes (which I stopped watching for years and years as it was beyond dull) did an interesting profile on the Hadron (sp?) Collider an underground hallowed out circular steel coil or tunnel buried deep beneath Switzerland and France.

There's a company which operates it, and is staffed by young and brilliant physicists and scientists from many countries.

Lesley Stahl interviewed 3 scientists and unfortunately, her lack of research (and possible disinterest) was reflected in the interview questions.

The only interesting thing I got out of that interview was that scientists can confirm that it is most likely that we only know 25% of the universe based on the collider's simulation of the Big Bang and therefore they are able to extrapolate that we don't or have any knowledge of the remaining 75% of the universe since that part is completely dark. No light.

The scientists conceded that it is possible that other dimensions that may exist over and above the dimensions humans are used to or aware of.

So I guess it would be nice to know a bit more about the universe. That could help us understand or figure out the possibility of other 'beings' being able to transport themselves regardless of time/distance factors.

What happened to Ambrose Bierce? And where is Lew Welch's final resting place? (it's known what happened, seemingly, but body never found...)

And what happened to/where is Kevin Collins, 10, last seen at a bus stop in S.F.?

Thank you fellow posters for the fascinating mysteries mentioned. Great thread.

Yes, R139.

In a spiral galaxy like our own Milky Way, the stars circle a central hub. When the experts model the Galaxy, they find that there isn't enough mass that can be seen which is necessary to hold the Galaxy together. It should fly apart. The experts theorize that there is something invisible that cannot be directly detected by any means that is somehow holding the Galaxy together. They call it "dark matter", but it is just a placeholder that means "we don't know what is holding things together, but it must be something".

The experts also discovered that the galaxies are all speeding away from each other, on average, and that they are speeding up. They had expected a constant rate of speed, or a decreasing rate, if gravity from all the other galaxies were tugging on each other to slow each other down. Since they are all speeding up, and that defies the known laws of physics, they invented a concept of "dark energy", which is a placeholder used to mean whatever it is that is causing things to speed-up.

Together, dark matter and energy make up far more "stuff" than is otherwise detectable by traditional means.

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?

R142

That's been answered: 3 licks

Where is the complete copy of Judy Garland's A Star Is Born?

r141 Interesting.

Could we be seeing - since the galaxies are speeding up and away from each other - the slow disintegration of our galaxy. If our spiral galaxy with stars circling a central hub, one of Hadron Collider physicists said, we are seeing stars die, and sun is losing heat, could this diminishing hub or solar energy hub is causing the movement away or falling apart?

So that in another billion years, or whatever time is necessary, this "energy hub" extinguisher itself (and life as we know it) and perhaps gravitate towards another "light or energy hub"?

Or maybe all that remains is darkness. Conversely, maybe we could be the final (and last) remnants of a very complex intergalactic system that once was infused with so much energy that the entire expanse of the universe was lit.

And those lifeforms which inhabited the original intergalactic system died out or were extinguished and those remaining sought refuge here on this planet.

What is the bright area at the center of the Milky Way?

r146 Nougat.

Secret society mysteries like Skull and Bones, Freemasons, Bohemian Grove and other secret societies.

R148, I assume you mean what goes on in those societies and how much influence they actually have?

R146, there are a collection of stars that orbit closely to a black hole.

Keddie Murders

Did Truman Capote ever complete "Answered Prayers" and if so, where is it?

How the hell did an actress as inferior as Jeanne Crain maintain a film career at 20th Century Fox?

Thanks, R150. Is that black hole a mystery?

How the hell did an actress as shrill and unfunny as Bonnie Franklin get the lead in a sitcom?

R154, it's a newish theory that all spiral gaxaxies, at least, have a "super massive black hole" at its center. I wouldn't call this a mystery. We can't see it, but we can see closely nearby stars rapidly circling something, and a black hole fits with all the other evidence.

R148 there is a small visitor center at Rosslyn Chapel near Edinburgh (the one in The Da Vinci Code) and upstairs is a little display about Freemasons. The chapel was built by the Sinclair family and they are deeply enmeshed in the history of Freemasons. There's a visitors book and just about every male European royal has signed it. Lots of heads of state too. All visiting what is thought to be a sacred place in Freemasonery.

It's easy to see where anyone could get the idea that Freemasons run the world when you visit that little upstairs room.

Actually, Rosslyn Chapel itself is something to add to the list of mysteries. There is a stone carving of an ear of corn, unknown in the old world, made 100 years before Columbus set sail. Now we all accept that Columbus didn't get here first but who brought corn back to medieval Scotland?

There's a lot of stories about Rosslyn, too many to go into here, but the one thing that strikes you when you go in is that there is nothing Christian about the place. Pagan, freemasonry, satanic imagery, new world order symbols, all that kind of stuff everywhere you look, all carved in stone. It's incredibly ornate, like standing inside a wedding cake.

Vikings brought back the corn on their regular travels back and forth that took them through Scotland

That's not corn, R157, it's a typewriter.

I'm fascinated by that stuff, R157.

THe most viable theory about the young Princes in the Tower, is that Buckingham killed them. He also had a claim to the throne and thought that if he got rid of them he could become king once Jasper Tudor and Henry Tudor got rid of Richard for him. Except it didn't go that way. Buckingham was a treacherous snake.

Tammy Lynn Leppert case. She went missing in 1983. She was a model and aspiring actress. She has a small appearance in Scarface.

If there is a parallel universe.

To see if they have the same theories of childcare r180?

While purchasing some Christmas decorations today in Walmart, one of the tabloids at the register had a huge photo of Robert Wagner on the cover, with the headline Robert Wagner Is Going To Jail - The Natalie Wood Mystery Is About To Explode.

Natalie Wood fell off of a boat while drunk, and she drowned. Her hubby and Chris Walken were also drunk and were having oneo of those bullshit arguments drunk people have, and didn't even notice. End of story.

Some headline about an imminent Bob Wagner arrest pops up every couple years

I think Natalie Wood's death was an accident. But I still wonder about how her raped her when she was young. IIRC, her sister has said that she will reveal the identity when the rapist dies.

I meant to type who instead of how.

I thought general concensus was Kirk Douglas r185. I have no idea if that's right, I just remember reading it - probably here.

It's far too late for us to ever find out now, but I still wonder what happened to the crew of the Mary Celeste.

The Beaumont children disappearance.

I think the Polynesians made it to South America before Columbus. Hell, they made it to settle Hawaii, which is in the middle of nowhere, so why not?

Why did the large mammals of the Americas all die off (Mammoth, camel, giant sloth, saber toothed tiger, and more).

Why do the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt have cocaine and pot in their mummified systems, when those drugs are from the Americas?

I thinhk Ridley Scott knows where we came from. I think he's one of "them." and I want him to tell us before he dies. If he doesn't at least leave a note.

Did Marisa Tomeii really win that Academy Award for My Cousin Vinny?

Another vote for Amy Bradley. I always got the sense her brother knew more than he was telling and that she wasn't such the squeaky clean girl next door that her parents made her out to be.

Amy Bradley pinged with that haircut. Maybe her brother was a homophobe who offed her.

For me, the only mystery is: Where is she hiding the keys to her 16-wheeler?

Is time travel possible? And if it's not, then why not? (Or, on a related note, why does time only go forward and not backward?)

Seconding the perception that Amy Bradley pinged. She was a real tomboy and athlete.

I recently thought about D.B. Cooper hijacking case recently as the anniversary passed almost two weeks ago. I don't think that will ever be solved. He probably died after the jump and his body might not ever be found or there will never be match with DNA or other questions about his identity.

R196 - time goes everywhere. It's tedious to have to tell you this. Oh & you are welcome. If I told you more Xenu would cut off my allowance.

What's the deal with those damn gypsies?

I'm not sure if mentioned already,but JonBenet and Caylee Anthony murders solved would be nice, preferably while the murderer's are still living so they can be punished.Meaning, John and/or Burke Ramsey and Papa JoJo ,Cindy and Casey Anthony.

Sometime after Casey Anthony's acquittal, a lawyer in Arizona asked to review the computer evidence. That lawyer and a computer expert looked through the search files and found that there were searches for "suffocation" on the Anthony computer. The murder case investigators didn't find that in their investigation and they got flamed for it when it came out that a lawyer in Arizona with computer expert found that evidence.

R202 I think Casey could figure out how to suffocate a 2 yo.It would make more sense if George was looking to do it to himself or Casey

One thing I do know after reading the psychiatrist and lawyers books,is that Casey was sexually abused by George and also mind screwed by Cindy. I wonder if there is any new info,or books out regarding the case.Casey couldn't have moved the body because she was in jail.

I swear I'd be happy on this front if I could just know what happened at the Ramsey home on that fateful night. It frustrates me no end to think there will never be an answer.

How Gary Condit killed Shandra Levy is a close second.

Gary Condit did not kill Chandra Levy...that case was resolved, she was murdered in Rock Creek Park by an illegal alien from El Salvador named Ingmar Guandique who was also in jail for assaults on two other women.

R204 I just snapped out of a renewed interest in the JB case.It happens every few years.The Casey Anthony case makes me sick but also drives me nuts trying to figure it out.Dominic Casey has some new thoughts on the case.Here is the link.

Are we alone in the universe.

I'd like to see solved the mystery of why people smart enough to walk upright still vote Republican.

Why is straight me so stupid?

Natalie Wood's sister to reveal the name of rapist, AFTER he dies R185? What rag mag did you read that nonsense in? I think that all rapists should be hunted down and exposed after they die.

R210, maybe she's worried about slander and libel. Even if she were relating a true story, she could still be sued. Perhaps she didn't want the hassle. You can't libel a dead man, so there's no blowback to waiting p.

The Bermuda Triangle. Easter Island. Lindsey Lohan's career.

I just stumbled across this thread in a search and thought I'd give it a bump for Labor Day. If you're idle, and you're curious, post away!

What happened to Malaysian Airlines MH370, why, and where is it now?

I realize the official investigation has concluded. But it didn't have a lot of conclusive answers.

I'd very much like the whole Trump-Russia-etc. matter to be exposed. I want to read the books that come out about it.

What happens when we die.

I think I already know the answer.

Also, what's beyond the universe.

What the hell happened to Amelia Earhart?

Well then tell us R216

Another vote for who wrote the Voynich manuscript what the text reads.

r219 I believe they have settled that it was written in Turkish. Approximately 30% has been translated.

On a personal level, I would like to know what really happened to my mother... who died when I was 19. She was at a luncheon, came home and it looked like she fell down the cellar stairs. I came home from work and found her... still alive, but semi-conscience. It's believed that it was an accident and foul played was removed... but, we will never know. She died a week later.

What happened, exactly, when Marilyn died?

Same with JFK.

Does the complete version of "The Magnificent Ambersons" exist somewhere?

Could we be a computer simulation? As someone posted, the boy in the box. Did the Carthaginians really sacrifice babies?

Aww this old thread. Everybody was so young and innocent in 2015. Nobody knew what was about to happen a mere year later.

Regarding R177, why if the child was identifiable, did the mother not recognize her? The article leaves out many important facts.

Yeah.. I would like to know what happens in death. Where do we end up.. if any where at all? The last remaining breaths of life.. is there a beckoning (or white light, as some have reported in near death experiences)? Is there an afterlife, our souls inhabiting another future being? Is it another plateau of our existence, our journey? We'll all find out sooner or later.

Where's Jimmy Hoffa? Is Elvis still alive? ;)

Are hauntings and ghosts real?

Why can't you ignore a thread on DL?

Is Princess Diana really buried on the little island or was that a lie and she was actually interred in the Spencer family crypt in the nearby village church.

How Adam Sandler has a career.

Anti-gravity.

I'd like to know what happened to Judge Crater.
