Creepy Unsolved Mysteries - From unsolved murders to unidentified people to unexplained supernatural events, what are some of the creepiest unsolved mysteries you've ever heard of?

I rarely watch ones about females for the exact same reason.

The case that interests me a lot is about the judge who went missing, VCR was recording the super bowl and he'd made sandwiches and then was just...gone. He was found as a hit and run victim I think in a totally different state, had bought plane tickets, and was found wearing military clothes that his wife said he didn't even own. The whole thing is really weird. I can't remember his name off the top of my head but I'm sure some of you know who I'm talking about. it's a case that gets brought up pretty often in unsolved mystery compilations.
The black guy? Found face down in a shallow stream or something like that? I always thought delayed weirdness from a head injury, but I guess they'd have mentioned if he'd hit his head in the weeks leading up to his disappearance. My second choice would be "paraphrenia" or something else in the early-onset dementia realm. There was something weird about how fast he would have had to travel, but psychosis/mania is a hell of a drug.

David Glenn Lewis, a lawyer, not a judge. It reminds me of Ray Gricar, another vanishing attorney whose laptop showed up in a river missing the hard drive. E: drive was found separately from the laptop, also in the river.

I thought the black guy found face down in the water was the chef that Obama was having gay sex with.
 
No, that guy was huge. He'd be way too hard to knock down into the stream in the first place. The dead chef was white and super old(?). Pretty old.
Obama was getting fucked by a super old giant white guy? I pictured in my mind he was like a skinny Somalian guy. I was way off, I guess.

nope the black guy is a different case. This one is David Glenn Lewis.

January 28, 1993: David’s wife Karen and their daughter leave Amarillo, Texas, for a shopping trip to Dallas.

David stays home, citing work obligations.


January 29–30, 1993: David is seen by friends and possibly a neighbor jogging near his home.


January 31, 1993 (Super Bowl Sunday):

David appears to have been at home:

VCR is recording the Super Bowl.

Two sandwiches are in the fridge.

Laundry is in the dryer.

His wedding ring and watch are on the counter.

February 1, 1993:

Karen and their daughter return home and find David missing.

She reports him missing.

That night (~10:30 p.m. PST), a pedestrian is hit and killed in Moxee, Washington (near Yakima) by a hit-and-run driver.

Had no ID.

Was wearing camouflage fatigues and work boots (not owned by David).

Was not wearing his glasses, which he needed to see.

Had no drugs or alcohol in his system.

David had traveled over 1,600 miles from Amarillo, TX to Moxee, WA.

Two airline tickets were purchased in his name:

Amarillo → Dallas (possibly Jan 31)

Los Angeles → Dallas (dated Feb 1)

It's unclear if either was used.

No one knows why David left home, where he went, or how he ended up in Washington.

The car was later found parked at Amarillo Airport.

The caller who found the body reported seeing a man walking, returned later, and found he had been struck — but has never been publicly identified.
 
There was a post about the Yogurt Shop Murders on another site and someone started talking about the San Ysidro McDonald's murders and posted screenshots and video from the massacre itself with the bodies and everything and I want to vomit.

I need something funny to get over this tbh. Palate cleanser but mystery?
 
She mostly rubbed people the wrong way with her dramatic descriptions of how driving around or being obsessed with the case made her cool and edgy beause it was the same mental pathology as the killer himself, and so on with painting herself as some gritty noir detective PI. It was pretty cringe how she played movie star/crime thriller with the whole thing. Really hateable journalist behaviour.
OMG, the HBO series with Holly Flax from The Office doing her voice has the worst shit like that:
1754563667079.webp

Lady, this dude raped 50+ women, many in front of their men, and brutally bashed like 10+ people's heads in. Solve the fucking case if you can, but stop romanticizing this shit.
I didn't realize people hated her. Was she really that awful? I liked her book.

The thing about ONS that still freaks me tf out are the phone messages. And you gotta remember message machines were only just starting to be a necessity in every household. Like even though he is a miserable pile of shit and looks like Harvey Weinstein getting discharged from the burn unit, it's freaky deaky and horrifying to think about the victims of said phone messages being in sheer terror.
He would still call up some of the female victims years and years later to say shit like, "Hey, remember that night we played?" He's a true sonofabitch.
Its been awhile now but I distinctly remember she would blog shit that was clearly lifted from the ONS subreddit, she profiled ONS as some younger loner of Germanic decent who had alot of freetime which was so off it was comical. Then there was some poem she wrote about ONS that got picked up after she died as some prolific thing and was pushed by all the fats that were enamored by her sleuthing. She was a pilled up cat women so documentaries prop her up knowing their true crime audience comprises of that type of person. Reality is that retired detective did alot but ultimately it was 23nme that did all the heavy lifting.
If you're referring to the "gone in the dark" shit about how one day police will catch him, I don't think it was that bad.
Can someone fill me in on how she involved herself with the case and made it about her? I can't find a lot of people talking about it without just glad-handing the bitch on True Crime reddits. I always had a gut feeling her "involvement" was overstated and she died at a precipitous time for True Crime podcasters and journos to talk her up.
I think a lot of people were annoyed that her book wasn't specifically about EARONS, but that's not her fault. It's what the publisher wanted, a mix of him and her efforts/life while trying to catch him. People were also annoyed that she was given a BUNCH of original case files and evidence and brought them into her home. It could've compromised the case since it breaks the chain of custody. Patton attributing the police catching him to her also made people annoyed. I don't care about her, but renaming him GSK sucked. It completely omits his 49 rapes.

Y'all seen the John Wayne Gacy series on HBO, The Devil In Disguise? It and the Dean Corll one, The Clown and the Candyman are very good. Those guys were some of the worst, fuck. There was a decent podcast on JWG by the son of his first lawyer. He revealed that the detectives who were tailing John after Robert Piest went missing actually planted the evidence to get their warrant. Pretty interesting.

Oh, the Israel Keyes podcast True Crime Bullshit is seriously unsettling. I only got a few episodes in, but the dude describes what he did to that couple in Vermont and it genuinely disturbed me enough to want to stop. Not that it matters, but just for reference, that's not really common at all for me. Oh, Project Warhead is a great podcast on global efforts to take down those fucking weirdo CSAM rings.
It sounds like they have DNA to test against at least, because otherwise I wouldn’t think it could be solved. An acquaintance of my teen friend group was murdered in a similar way, in a park at night, while she walked home and it’s never been solved due to probably being random as well. Not in Atlanta btw, so I’m not implying they are related.
She had a pitbull and the dog is referenced as a potential source of some forensic evidence. The pit probably nannied the dude and he genuinely needed 50 stab wounds to get it to let go. Perhaps the fangs have DNA. Wild case, for real, though. 50 stab wounds in some frenzied overkill like a lover or something.

We all know what happened to the Miami cannibal attack from 2012. Right? How a man who was apparently drugged out of his mind attacked a homeless person, eating his face until he was left desfigured and the police smoked him because he was absolutely feral?

The first thought that people and the police concluded was that his mind was twisted on that moment because of the drug known as bath salts, a new drug that was causing fear at the moment because of his apparent effect it has on its users to go wild and in a psychotic rage. But apparently, that was not the case, because when they made the autopsy on Rudy Eugene, not only they did not detected bath salts in his system at all, but the only drug apparent in his body was cannabis.

In other words, Rudy was not high on bath salts during the attacks, and it is unknown what caused him to go in an absolute feral and psychotic state that led him to almost devour a homeless man.
Didn't it come out later that they thought it might have been K2 or some other crazy synthetic weed. Look up what K2 does to some people and it seems a lot more believable. Edit: correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think K2 shows up in drug tests, and that's why it used to be so big in jails in the early/middle 2010s.
Sounds like a slimemould or some sort of biofilm.
I could have sworn I read or saw somewhere that the black goo was just because the road crews did a shit job, used the wrong kind of road tar for the climate and the heat made the tar partially separate and start leeching out.
What's the status on Mama JF? She really just got dropped off in the woods and died and Canada will never find her, huh?
20 CoachCoins says JF killed her, chopped her up and either put her in several dumpsters on the island or into a couple lobster traps.
I would never go on an ocean cruise, they hire 3rd world rapists/thieves almost exclusively.
They're the French Foreign Legion of the service industry. Criminals and Degenerates.
It's fucking insane that an idiot like JFG actually managed to get away with murder.
Canadian cops are extra retarded. Just because they have to take 2 years of college, doesn't make them magically better than US cops in backwater shitholes, and outside of major cities like Toronto, Winnipeg, Vancouver and Montreal, the most they deal with is fent zombie property crime, drunken squabbles, and brown and or red shoplifters.
They must really dislike their kid or something. Why do some parents do that?
No idea. I went to middle school with a Joe Joseph.
True crime hags eat that shit up and I swear there is even a YouTube channel run by one of these women that specializes in cases of child murder.
I don't remember the name of the channel, but there was this one troo crime youtuber I stopped watching all together because they switched from "normal" cases to strictly covering murdered and raped kids. It was just grim and depressing.


Tax: (nine links down below, SHOULD be in chronological order, apologies if I fucked up copy-pasting)
I haven't seen it posted yet, but a couple of kids in Nova Scotia have been missing since early May and nobody seems to have a clue what happened to them. I have a couple of theories. Either one of both of the kids have autism and I have a few theories. a) It was one of the parents, burnt out from caring for their nonverbal autists, or maybe out of some macabre since of mercy, not wanting to consign them to a system that doesn't give a fuck about them. b) Jeet crime of opportunity. Some long haul trucker or more likely Amazon delivery driver saw the kids playing outside after sneaking out and grabbed them c) crazy homeless motherfucker kidnapped them. IMO this is the least likely. The town it happened in seemed small, and there hasn't been talk of any tent cities, but just because the leaf media isn't talking about it, doesn't mean there's not some homeless camp in the woods somewhere. C is the least likely I think, but I am curious to see what other people think.
Whole thing just seems kind of odd, how two kids can seemingly slip into thin air and the most they found was a single blanket.

I keep hoping they have progress on Asha Degree but....

It's pretty apparent what happened at least. The teenager ran her over during the storm, freaked out because she was probably drunk coming back from a party, and got her family to cover it up for her. Although the enduring mystery will always be why was the child running away in the first place.

That lucky son of a bitch who managed to elude NASA is probably shitting his pants as we speak.

It was Def one of the Mexicans doing construction at her apartment. He was dressed like every painter/drywaller ever.

Bro, the most annoyingly weird shit is when they'll be like: "Happy Birthday to this beautiful little girl. She would've been 37 today!" or whatever the hell. They'll post regular pictures of JBR and shit. Her case is super interesting in how puzzling it is, obviously. And it's definitely a horrific tragedy with a real victim we should remember. But these folks form weird parasocial relationships with dead children they've never met who died 30 years ago and shit. One weirdo recently went to the house and snapped pics, wtf. It's a random person's house and the site of a SA/murder of a little kid, dude. Fuck you going to do with a picture of some brick wall and a yard?

It's the same thing with the morbid curiosity in the watch people die sphere. Some people are really into it in a weird way. I'm fascinated by true crime and accidents and the like but the way some people talk about it is like it's almost pleasurable to them in a way. There's an almost gleefulness in the way some people comment about it.

Tarot is done with a small enough deck that even anyone with rudimentary slight of hand skills can shuffle a deck to have the exact cards they want to come out.

It's literally a standard deck of playing cards with 21 extra "major arcana" cards which are all unique and therefore even easier to tease out of the deck.
 
Whats the consensus on the wm3?
Guilty as fuck. West of Memphis is full of bullshit and straight up lies at points. Celebrities are retarded and jumped on the innocent bandwagon to spite those evil backwoods Christians that were just trying to railroad a bunch of edgy teenagers. It was infuriating listening to Laat Podcast handwave away all the sick shit Damien said and did because they felt some sort of camaraderie with him being an ostrascized lower. They did the same thing with Dylan in the Columbine episode.

Misskelley confessed multiple times, to multiple different people. He was never coerced by police into confessing, in fact he had his lawyer with him during one confession where the lawyer specifically stated that Jessie was doing it against the lawyer's advice. He was the only one who actually felt guilty about it and couldn't keep it bottled up.




Amy's brother is now insisting that two women Scientologists might have kidnapped her and he wants them to be investigated because she talked to them once or something.

I swear, all I learned from that documentary is that Amy wasn't as close to her family as they tried to come off in the past, and that her family is kind of sketchy and kept important information private.

It's a horrible situation but holy hell, her family didn't come off well.

The mom talking about her possibly having grandchildren, which would have been born from an incredibly traumatic situation, was just weird.

Amy Bradley without a doubt went overboard on her balcony that night. Her dad was asleep at the room and said he woke up randomly in the early morning which was probably caused by her yelling as she fell overboard. She was wasted and stood on the moved table to puke over the side and over balanced. The trafficking theories are always ridiculous. Nobody is out there kidnapping and trafficking middle class white people.

It's Lake Mead. It was used by mobsters (and other killers) as a disposal site for a long time, but thanks to California stealing everyone's water, was drastically below historical levels, hence a lot of old remains ending up above water.
The real tragedy is said ineptitude putting the well-preserved B-29 that had crashed into the lake at risk of degradation.
 
If you're interested in true crime, you're much better off watching Youtube videos than listening to podcasts. They tend to be shorter and spend less time on the gruesome details. Also, avoid any videos where the narrator puts themselves in the thumbnail, especially if they're a woman.

Space Pancakes
Less far-out, but still interesting, is The Mad Gasser of Mattoon
I first heard about the Mad Gasser because Monster in my Pocket had a figure of him.
 
New article about EARONS on dumpster site Mother Jones. Posting here since lots of his prowling is still unexplained.

What an irritating article. It's just s bunch of complaining that police didn't want to link her 40 year old case to the ONS because it was a bunch of circumstantial evidence.

And then you get lines like this:

“It feels like as a state, as a society, we’ve prioritized bureaucracy—needing to weed out fraud and someone taking advantage of the system—over making sure that everyone who needs care or resources is able to access services.”

Yes, because time and time again it has been proven that people will rip the fuck off of these programs unless you have diligent standards. They're always angry that people want a little thing called evidence rather than always believing claims people make automatically.

And the result is the services run out of money and the people who actually NEED them DO NOT GET THEM. They act like fraud is just some non-thing when it actually deprives the intended recipients of the assistance.

I agree with your gripe on that quote as a general statement, but I think the main issue was the city lying about the evidence they had on file. Did you listen to the whole article? They denied it sounded like EARONS, but refused to give her the full folder of her own rape report. Someone anonymously emailed her what was missing and since it did strengthen her claim, it seemed deliberate. I was also half-listening while on a walk, so maybe I'm off.
