unsolved murder of Missy Bevers. it stands out to me because the killer was filmed walking inside the church, just relaxed and waiting for her. It’s been several years though. They could’ve died or moved to another country by now.
rebecca reusch. It’s a German case. A girl went to her sister + sisters husbands house and suddenly is gone and the husband took a long ass suspicious trip to the middle of nowhere early in the morning. But the whole family is defending him.
My buddies case. His place was hit with a molotov and he passed away a few days later. The police didn’t even try to solve it, several friends who heard a gang threatening him days prior weren’t even interviewed. The killer is out there free.
Brian Shaffer. There were security cameras on all entry/exit points of the bar and not a single one shows him leaving yet disappeared without a trace and hasn’t been seen or heard from in 20 years. Truly baffling case.
What’s at the bottom of the pit on Oak Island. Not technically a case but it still remans a big unsolved mystery to this day. I still find it weird that over over 300 years & millions of dollars spent on expeditions & excavation they still haven’t been able to figure out or see what’s at the bottom of the Oak Island pit. You’d think they’d be able to at least get a camera down there by now.
Kyron Horman. His dad used to come in to the grocery store I worked at back at the time, quiet gentleman. He was never the same after Kyron disappeared.
10 years ago my kids bedroom. Box of books was in the same spot for a long time. Finally moved it only to find a big dick drawn on the carpet with a sharpee. No one knows who did it. Kids around 9 and 10 blamed the infant. Those kids are in college today and still won’t own up to it.
Mekayla Bali disappeared from a small town in Saskatchewan Canada. Video evidence and eye witness accounts leading up to her vanishing appears as though she was planning on running away with someone she was going to meet. She was never heard from again.
Her actions that day were strange and the town is a crossroads for the trucking industry. For some reason this case just sticks with me. I pass a billboard with her picture every week and as a father, it just tears at my heart knowing what her family must be going through.
The disappearance of Carrie Lawson. Her husband and the daughter of the man who is believed to be a kidnapper and I all went to high school and graduated in the same class. They were both popular and active in student government and clubs, they were part of the same friend circle. This happened in a pretty small, rural community in Alabama. Even though the daughter was estranged from her dad and had had no interaction with him, she was harassed and threatened because of her connection to him. The kidnapping happened a couple of years before our first HS reunion. Out of a large graduating class in a smallish town where everyone knew everyone and had been in school together since elementary, there were less than 30 people in attendance (I didn’t go either)
I honestly don’t know if there even was a 20 or 25 year reunion. It tore the community apart as as far as I know, remains unsolved
Elizabeth Barraza murder. Targeted hit at garage sale. Cannot figure why she was targeted. Killer drove past again after the hit a few minutes later which was super risky. Someone wanted her very dead.
The murder of 12-year-old Keith Bennett by the notorious Moors Murderers. Not only did the sadists murder Keith and a number of other youngsters, they declined to tell grieving parents where the bodies were buried, “because they could”. Both died and took the secret took the grave. Having been up on that moor, I can only say that it’s no place for the living, not just the dead.
There’s a kid from around the area where I grew up who supposedly went missing for years. Then he shows up one day and says he’s been at home with his mom the whole time. And police realized they’d interacted with him over the years, but he gave a fake name. It was all over Houston news for a while, then just kinda fizzled out.
I love the mystery surrounding it. I believe there is an explanation and infographics has a breakdown of it on YouTube too. A movie was made called Devils Pass about a group of film students hiking up to the spot of the dyatlov incident and what they discovered was >!tied to the Philadelphia experiment, and time travel so that was cool!<
Asha Degree is the first that comes to mind. She was a 9 year old girl who seemingly had a nice and normal life. No bullying or abuse at home as far as cops could find. Then one night in the middle of a rainstorm she packs up a backpack, walks out into the night, and is never seen again. A few people claimed they saw her walking on the highway, but when they would pull up to her she would run away from them. Her backpack was found buried in a barn somewhere I think, but to this day a body has never been found. What kills me the most is hearing that her brother actually woke up that night and heard her moving around the room, but he assumed she was just going to the bathroom or getting a drink, so he went back to sleep. That must haunt him every day that he didn’t check on her…
Neighbour who murdered other neighbour and was never caught or charged. We all knew he did it.
I found the body. If anyone thinks the police put their best and brightest in the homicide unit I know of at least one instance where this was not the case. These guys were fucking dumb.
St Louis Jane Doe, 8-11 years old was found decapitated in an abandoned house in 1983. She had been raped too. Awful this poor little girl has been unnamed for so long and her killer(s) haven’t been caught. It’s always haunted me, I hope she gets her name back someday and her killer(s) brought to justice
My friend’s son was kidnapped by his grandparents and moved somewhere in south Asia where there’s no extradition. We have no idea what they’re doing to him or how they’re raising him. I miss that little boy he’s only a few months older than my eldest
Decapitated body of a little black girl found in the basement of an abandoned building. Her head has never been found, so she’s never been able to be identified. IIRC police incompetence also resulted in them losing track of where some key physical evidence was being kept, so they no longer have DNA samples to run through current databases, either. I wish she had her name back, but I doubt that will happen without even a head to use for a reconstruction and no dna samples available. My personal theory is either she was some sort of trafficking victim or her parents/guardians had some sort of involvement in her murder, but no one can say for sure, and it bugs the Hell out of me that a little kid died such a horrible death and has never even gotten a grave with her real name on it.
It would be nice to know who killed my cousin. She was stabbed to death in 1983. Her father seemed satisfied her killer was shot to death in a shootout with police in the early 2000s, but we will probably never know.
I lived next door to them growing up, her bother and I played regularly. They seemed like such a solid family. Everything seemed to point to her karate instructor coercing her into a relationship, then killing her after she threatened to go public.
Alexandra Wiwcharuk. Went for a walk in Saskatoon, Sk, Canada one night in 1962 and never came home. Her dead body was found in a shallow grave just blocks from home two weeks later. Wanting it to be solved via genealogical dna search because no one mentions her next door neighbour was a guy named Sanford Clark who’s a rabbit hole in itself.
Lars Mittank – a German tourist who disappeared mysteriously in Bulgaria in 2014 and more than 10 years later there is not a single trace of him or even a clue what might have happened. I can’t imagine what his family and friends have gone through.
Pretty much every missing person case bugs me. It basically breaks down to 3 possibilities: they legit got lost and probably died from exposure, they were murdered, or they were trafficked. A shocking number of people go missing every year.
Patti Adkins went missing when I was in middle school during the first week of July with her “boyfriend”. Boyfriend came back. She didn’t. Boyfriend claimed they wasn’t a thing. Everyone knew they were at her job even though he was married. Not enough evidence to charge the “boyfriend.” She left behind an 8 year old daughter at the time.
Greg Wedel of the army was found alongside of Vanessa Guillen. He was labeled a deserter and that was it. I was in school with him from the very beginning to the end. He ended up joining the army and I joined the Marine corps.
I knew Greg, he was a lot of things but he was not a deserter, and even if he was, he was murdered. And I for one, alongside his family, would like an explanation.
It’s an American case. The Sodder Family home burned down in 1945 with five of their 10 children still inside. No bodies or bones of the children were found and the kids were never seen again.
23 years after the fire, the parents received an anonymous letter with a photo of one of the missing children as an adult, indicating that the children were still alive.
It’s still unclear what happened to the children and who sent that letter to the parents and why.
Amy Lynn Bradley. Saw that on tv when I was a child, and I know there’s really only so many things that could’ve happened to her, but it’s stuck with me all this time. I remember when Jaycee Dugard went missing too and when she was found it only made me more anxious to conclude these haunting disappearances from my childhood “unsolved mysteries” era.
A woman from my home town/high school went missing after she graduated college. She had just gotten a job in Portland, and they found her car with her purse in it and everything- she just disappeared.
I know this stuff happens “all the time”, but this was someone who I remember vividly, and even hung out with her sister a little, so it was much more close to home.
Her name is Sarah Eggleston, and she was from Redmond Oregon.
Theres this woman Megan on tiktok who talks about her sister Skye who went to japan in 2008 without telling anyone and disappeared off the face of the earth
A very close friend of mine met with a john one night, was later found pretty brutally raped and murdered in a park. The people close to her and i were trying really hard to get her out of sex work but she just didn’t want to listen. I even offered to let her live with me and every time she had a “client” as she called them lined up i would pay her whatever her fee was to just not go. I could afford it at the time so i was willing to do it if it meant keeping her safe. But she said she felt like that would be taking advantage of me and she would just swear up and down she was in no danger and we were all overreacting.
She was only 17 years old when she died. I’d known her since elementary school and we bonded because we were both badly abused physically and sexually as children and we found comfort in eachother. I remember when we were in middle school when either of our abusers showed signs they were going to come into our room later that night or after one of us had already been raped that night we would message eachother on msm and we would both go a forest roughly half way between both our house and we would sleep under a tree together to keep the other company/make sure they didn’t feel alone and to keep warm. It was comforting because we never had to explain what we were feeling in those moments, we could and sometimes did, but we knew the other inherently knew exactly what we were feeling and so we could just sit (often cuddled up like with my arm over her and her head on my shoulder) in silence and it made the world feel less lonely.
So of course with the nature of what she was to me there wasn’t anything i wouldn’t have done to save her, but the hard lesson i’ve had to learn to accept is she ultimately didn’t want saving. She was going to make her choices either way and there was nothing more i could do about it than what i already tried. I mean more than once i even got into fights with men who tried to hurt her. But this time i wasn’t able to step in, and she was killed. It hurts thinking about what her last moments were like, she must have known “this was it” at some point and that that was how her life was going to end, exactly how she was treated her whole life.
Wherever you are Lillian, i’m sorry we couldn’t protect you and we were never able to get justice for you, i’ll never forget the impact you had on my life and my character as a human, you were the first person to believe i was capable of more than what i believed in myself, and you were the one to put me on the path to becoming the better version of myself i am today. I truly hope you’ve found the peace you so very much deserved in life.
March 2011; he buys a rifle, silencer, and started going to shooting range
April 6-10; neighbors notice less activity from his family and contact the police. Apparently during that time he sent strange letters to some friends that implied he might have been a US secret agent (which was never confirmed)
April 11; he is seen leaving his house in Northern France
April 14-15 seen alive in a hotel in southern France. Last time he was ever seen.
April 21; police discovers his wife and 4 kids bodies buried under the backyard patio. It is estimated that he killed his wife and 3 youngest kids on April 3-4; his oldest one was lured by his father to come back home from college on April 5 and most likely killed that day.
As of today we still have no idea on why, no idea on if he is still alive and where he might be.
my mom might still be alive. people kept telling me it’s impossible until i looked her up and i think i found a video of her at some event. and now my brain feels like mush. 30 years of crying over you, but you turn up alive. i been sending flowers to your GRAVESITE, for what? for what? and if she is alive, where is my brother??? where is he? i demand answers
Johnny Gosch. He was a paperboy who disappeared doing his route one morning in Des Moines Iowa at the age of 12. I was also a paperboy in Iowa, the same age as him. His mother claimed that years later, he visited her in the middle of the night. There is a theory that he was kidnapped by a child sex ring and that he is still alive to this day.
I don’t know about haunting, but I think about it very often.
What happened to Paul Giancontieri’s and David Rose’s bodies? They went cave diving at Devil’s Hole in Nevada and despite numerous recovery missions, they’ve never been found. But the recovery divers reported an extremely strong current near a crack at the bottom of the cave, and when they put the depth line down it never reached the bottom.
They think it’s an underground ocean that pretty much sucks you in and drags you away to who knows where. They’re pretty certain it at least connects Nevada and Mexico since an earthquake in Mexico caused the water to slosh around at Devil’s Hole.
The Lane Bryant Murders in Tinley Park IL back in 2008. 5 killed, 1 injured. The survivor helped with a sketch and there was audio of the killer but the case has gone nowhere.
The case of Maura Murray. A 21-year-old college student emailed her professors about a fake family emergency, packed her car, and drove to a rural area in New Hampshire. She crashes her car on a quiet road. A witness speaks to her, calls the cops, and by the time they arrive minutes later, she’s just… gone. No tracks, no signs of struggle. Just vanished. It’s been 20 years. Still no trace. Still no answers. Like the earth swallowed her.
Disappearance of Ray Gricar. Happened like a county over from where I grew up, and people talked about it for a long time, so I remember it every once in a while.
The only trace they ever found of him besides his car was his laptop in one part of the Susquehanna river, and it’s destroyed hard drive in another. Guy was district attorney for a long time, and was about to retire from law at the end of the year that he vanished, so they didn’t think suicide was likely.
I don’t know the name of it but the men who went to see a basketball game and wound up miles away on a mountain. Some were found in the woods and others were found wrapped in blankets completely emaciated in a cabin in the woods. Most of them starved to death or at least looked very very very thin when their bodies were found but there was an open locker full of food in the cabin. So many more details but ugh. Makes my stomach turn to think of WHAT did that. Not who.
Brandon Swanson: the college kid who got lost in the middle of the night between two small towns and somehow disappeared while on the phone with his dad.
He was walking towards city lights of whatever town he THOUGHT he was going towards and the last thing his dad heard was “Oh shit—“ and then nothing. They never found his body but some land owners in the area refused to let police search their property. I think it was believed he maybe wandered on private property and someone got rid of him after he died.
I hope he’s found someday but it’s been 17 years this last month.
Missing Timmothy Pitzen. 2011. Mom checked him out of school in Illinois, took him a bunch of places, then was found dead in her hotel room of suicide. Kid was nowhere to be found.

But the recovery divers reported an extremely strong current near a crack at the bottom of the cave, and when they put the depth line down it never reached the bottom.
They think it’s an underground ocean that pretty much sucks you in and drags you away to who knows where. They’re pretty certain it at least connects Nevada and Mexico since an earthquake in Mexico caused the water to slosh around at Devil’s Hole.
Fucking terrifying.
My friend Bob’s death. They said it was self induced. Why was he in the back seat of a burning car if he killed himself ?
Fact is he owed a lot of bad people a lot of money and was unable to repay. There is nothing anyone can say to convince me that it wasn’t a homicide.
The Lane Bryant Murders in Tinley Park IL back in 2008. 5 killed, 1 injured. The survivor helped with a sketch and there was audio of the killer but the case has gone nowhere.
The case of Maura Murray. A 21-year-old college student emailed her professors about a fake family emergency, packed her car, and drove to a rural area in New Hampshire. She crashes her car on a quiet road. A witness speaks to her, calls the cops, and by the time they arrive minutes later, she’s just… gone. No tracks, no signs of struggle. Just vanished. It’s been 20 years. Still no trace. Still no answers. Like the earth swallowed her.
Disappearance of Ray Gricar. Happened like a county over from where I grew up, and people talked about it for a long time, so I remember it every once in a while.
The only trace they ever found of him besides his car was his laptop in one part of the Susquehanna river, and it’s destroyed hard drive in another. Guy was district attorney for a long time, and was about to retire from law at the end of the year that he vanished, so they didn’t think suicide was likely.
I don’t know the name of it but the men who went to see a basketball game and wound up miles away on a mountain. Some were found in the woods and others were found wrapped in blankets completely emaciated in a cabin in the woods. Most of them starved to death or at least looked very very very thin when their bodies were found but there was an open locker full of food in the cabin. So many more details but ugh. Makes my stomach turn to think of WHAT did that. Not who.
Diamond and Tionda Bradley. Two missing girls from Chicago. Never found. 2001
I would bet a million dollars their mom’s boyfriend did it.
Brandon Swanson: the college kid who got lost in the middle of the night between two small towns and somehow disappeared while on the phone with his dad.
He was walking towards city lights of whatever town he THOUGHT he was going towards and the last thing his dad heard was “Oh shit—“ and then nothing. They never found his body but some land owners in the area refused to let police search their property. I think it was believed he maybe wandered on private property and someone got rid of him after he died.
I hope he’s found someday but it’s been 17 years this last month.
Missing Timmothy Pitzen. 2011. Mom checked him out of school in Illinois, took him a bunch of places, then was found dead in her hotel room of suicide. Kid was nowhere to be found.
