    Just read up on The Lipstick Murderer; So tragic that he spent pretty much his entire life in prison; As far as I could understand he was innocent.

    I have seen the footage ......... and the full length documentary too.

    A lot of people survive what should have been fatal accidents/situations ........ it's called being lucky ......... don't know why you would pinpoint this particular lucky escape as mysterious??? :confused:

    Not having a go or anything but seeing as "unsolved mystery" is in the the title of the thread I was just curious as to what "mystery" you were referring to in this incident ............ thought maybe I'd missed something ............ but obviously I hadn't

    Space Debris is serious stuff "As of 2009, about 19,000 pieces of debris larger than 5 cm (2.0 in) are tracked"

    So if there is a mysterious object it's invisible to radar. And our own stealth technology tends to work best at certain frequencies. A 1940s long wave radar could possibly pick out some stealth aircraft of today. Also anything in orbit that long would pick up dust / get damaged by micrometeroites - the analogy is that stealth aircraft show up in the rain.

    And then there's all the sky surveys done by ground based telescopes.

    We've picked up some of earth's moonlets and those horseshoe orbits.

    How did the Bankers get away with it?

    And I'm afraid that one will never be resolved.

    For me it has to be the disappearance of MH370. What in gods name happened to that flight?

    yeah it is pretty shocking what they did to him and the fact they never let him out,even on the parole hearings in 2007. he was definitely was innocent in my opinion too,which mean somebody got away with it

    The Du Plantier case is one that's held my attention for a long time. A real smell of cover up off the case.

    From the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 unofficial disappearance theories Wiki

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_370_unofficial_disappearance_theories

    Proof that the extra crazy still seeps into these kind of things.
    The Independent and the Huffington Post have reported the suggestion that Pitbull and Shakira's song "Get It Started" displays prior knowledge of Flight 370's disappearance.[68][69]

    The lines cited most often by advocates of this conspiracy theory are "Now it's off to Malaysia" and "Two passports, three cities, two countries, one day".[69] The lyrics "No Ali, No Frasier, but for now off to Malaysia" were linked to 'Mr. Ali', who was referred to by the press as one of the Iranian passengers, even though Malaysian authorities have confirmed that the 19-year-old passenger is actually called Pouria Nourmohammadi.[69][68] (In the song, "Ali" actually refers to boxing legend Muhammad Ali, who beat another boxing legend, Joe Frazier, in the Thrilla in Manila on 1 October 1975).[70]

    Conspiracy theorists have linked the "two passports" to the stolen Austrian and Italian passports used by two passengers to board the plane.[68] The reliable sources for this story dismiss the lyrics as "mere coincidence"[69] and indicate that to take it seriously would be "a terrible idea",[68] with supporters of the theory being described as "Conspiracy Theorists" and "YouTube illuminati".[69]

    I cant find it at the moment but the last surviving member. (the guy who turned back) looked at the photos of the camp sight and pointed out military tent poles which the group did not have. There were other pieces there that belonged to the military. He stressed that they didnt own any of those pieces and suggested that the military maybe camped with them. Because the group were boys and girls, he suggested something untoward went down with the girls. Some were locked into their tent while others were taken outside. Hense some of them cutting out of the tent and running without shoes.

    I dunno about that. It could attract the gore/true crime demographic. Jack The Ripper must be worth a few bob to London tourism. Maybe the same kind of principle could apply here.

    Not the first grisly encounter in that hotel. 2 serial killers based themsevles there over the years.

    The Hotel is known for several suicides and its criminal activity which includes three murders.[2] Most notably, the hotel was the reported residence for serial killers Richard Ramirez in 1985 and Jack Unterweger in 1991.[2] It is rumored to be one of the last places Elizabeth Short was seen before her murder in 1947.[3]

    You got me interested so I searched about.
    The sole survivor, Yuri Yudin, was born on July 19 1937, and after the Dyatlov Pass Incident rose to become an administrator in the Solikamsk Perm region of Russia. He always felt that the Soviet military had probably been responsible in some way.
    In an interview last year he recalled that he had been asked to identify the owner of everything found at the scene, but had failed to find a match for a piece of cloth that seemed to be of military origin, or for a pair of glasses, a pair of skis and a piece of a ski, leading him to suspect that the military had found the tent before the volunteer rescuers.
    Yudin recalled that the authorities had seemed more interested in why the hikers were in the area in the first place than in how they died. “If they were really killed by a natural force, then there would be no secret, and we would not be talking about this 53 years on,” he observed.

    Could still be legacy items of a poorly conducted investigation by the Military prior to volunteers finding the items. Not fully sure it implicates the Military fully yet. Still utterly fascinating..........

    I'd have to say of those related to mysterious objects and occurrences, like:

    - Antikythera Mechanism... an ancient device far to advanced for it's time, suggestions origination from alternate realities
    - Phaistos Disc... Fired clay stone of 3500 old with 241 symbols gone completely undecipherable so far.
    - Taos Hum... occurs throughout the world, a low frequency hum that is impossible to pinpoint origin that not everyone can hear; Caused numerous people to commit suicide out of madness from total lack of sleep
    - London Hammer... a mid 1800s hammer found imbedded, fossilized in ancient stone that is literally impossible to fake, another with suggestions originating from alternate realities.

    etc.

    Very interesting one that. A Google of it led to me also finding The Man From Taured

    Shergar was shot, the people who took him had no experience of dealing with TB stallions and they couldn't control him.

    The London Hammer is literally not from an alternative reality- debunked totally:
