The Annecy shootings are very interesting and will probably never be resolved

Last I read about it the French authorities weren't confident of solving it.

Iqbal Al-Hilli ex husband also died on the same day.He was found dead in the US of an apparent heart attack but I think investigators were trying to see was there anything more into it.

Not sure if its been posted before, but . . .

The Toynbee Tiles. In the 80s, several tiles were discovered in major US cities. About the size of licence plates, pressed into the street. All bearing a message, a variation of "Toynbee idea. Resurrect dead. Movie 2001. Planet Jupiter."

Its been going on for ages. No one has claimed responsibility. Many copycats were placed later. Estimated hundreds were laid, and most destroyed by traffic over time.

Strange they found some of the D. B Cooper money years later. Does anyone think he lived and got to spend the rest

Just catching up on the thread seen something very similar in April of 93.Still can't explain it.

That’s interesting. In March/April of 1993 there was a Ufo wave over Ireland and Britain. Myself and two friends witnessed something very strange in the sky at the time. I spoke about it in the Ufo thread. The media were all over it at the time. They were seen by dozens if not hundreds. Up to that point I would have laughed at the subject but would take an interest since.

I prank called Betty Meyler when I was a child.

if you read the link in post #3494 it explains that. They think that he planted the money there himself years later. They dont think it was there from the time of the hijacking because the rubber bands on the money hadn't perished.

Strangest thing ever there was 4 more people with me at the time the speed it travelled at was unreal. Must look for that thread.

It's still mad that someone could essentially scare themselves to death.

Heh. IDK why that's happening. Google "Christopher Case reddit" and there's a few threads with lots of comments and debate a about it, including one made within the last week on the "unresolved mysteries" subreddit.

Also a podcast about it on bedtime-stories: https://www.bedtime-stories.uk/project/christopher-case-peculiar-death

Did Fletcher Christian escape from Pitcairn Island after the Mutiny on the Bounty? Unlikely. He was murdered on Pitcairn not long after the mutineers arrived. But there's a few other strands of possibility...

There is talk she was in a small village called Carrigans in Co.Donegal visiting the McClintock family. Her brother was married to the lady of the houses' sister.

The McClintocks had their own tragedy, where the son,mother and fiancée were shot and killed 2 days before the wedding was due to take place. The mother was blamed as a suicide killer but it's still a mystery as they were buried 2 days later and it was all wrapped up by the husband, who was an army colonel and the one with experience of guns...the locals reckon the son wasn't his and he was having an affair with one of the nurses minding the son who had broken his back in a riding accident.

After reading about this, out of curiosity I looked up the house where it happened (and where the wedding was due to take place).

I was a bit taken aback to see that's it's now a wedding venue, although I must admit it does look beautiful. I think I expected it to be an abandoned ruin!

The Isdal Woman and the Tamam Shud Case have both captured my imagination anyway.

Death in Ice Valley is a BBC/NRK podcast on the Isdal Woman which I'm enjoying.

not quite the full story is it? Candy had an affair with Bettys husband. Betty confronted her about it and apparently attacked Candy with the same axe used to kill Betty.
