15 "Unsolved" Mysteries

  • Re: The Maura Murray case..

    1. It's clear she and her father were/are very close. I think wrecking her dad's car really put her in a position of thinking she let him down big time, therefore depressed. Why she wrecked the car, who knows?

    2. It's also clear she was avoiding contact with the police. Dad asked her to fill out accident reports (get paperwork from the police) and she never followed up. After her own accident she tried to convince the bus driver to not call the police.

    3. The short time frame between the bus driver asking if she needed help and police arriving on the scene (10 minutes) doesn't jive well with the rag-in-the-tailpipe-suicide theory.

    4. I think she got picked up by someone. I guess there is a small chance it was planned and she's run off with someone, but gut tells me it isn't a happy ending. Hope I'm wrong.

    This guy woke up in an alley behind a Burger King (hence his name BK) in 2004 and had no idea who he was. He suffered some head trauma but no weapons or real proof of foul play. The things he does remember are very insignificant and detailed, and can place him growing up in Indiana and probably going to college in Colorado. He remembers buying hot dogs at the Indiana state fair, and listening to a certain DJ on the radio, things like that.

    He's been on TV shows, done tons of DNA testing, no one recognizes him. To this day still, no one knows who the poor 'ol guy is.

    Max Headroom WTTW Pirating Incident - 11/2...

    Hi, Cracked! Hi, [new] Encyclopedia Dramatica On a late-November evening in 1987, two Chicago television stations were victims of a broadcast signal takeover. After an earlier hijack attempt on WGN-9 during the 9:00 News , a broadcast on WTTW-11 of the Doctor Who episode "Horror of Fang Rock" was interrupted by a man wearing a Max Headroom mask. The crazed person uttered mostly gibberish and bashed the Chicago Tribune and its subsidiaries, before he dropped his pants and was spanked by what appears to be a child. 90-seconds later, the program returned to normal. To this day, he remains at large. This is a subtitled version of the original footage added as a courtesy due to the low audio quality of the recording. This is a rather old version, eventually I will add new annotations in response to how some of the audio was interpreted. EDIT: Thanks to a new video with the audio cleaned up, I've found out that he is indeed saying "I still see the X". And the person with the flyswatter is the one who said "Bend over Bitch". http://www.hack247.co.uk/2008/01/06/max-headroom-1987-pirate-tv-incident/ NOTE: The original copy of this recording was provided by the user fuzzymemories (now FuzzyMemoriesTV). I have added these subtitles as a courtesy, please do not copy this video just to repost it on your channel for numbers. Having two of the same video is totally pointless.

    Rhabdomyolysis isn't a word that rolls off the tongue, but the hospitalization of 13 Iowa football players and the strenuous workouts that likely triggered their condition have shed a spotlight on its damaging effects. A day after the school held a...

    Yeah...that's the crazy part...how the heck do you fracture a skull without soft tissue damage?

    Can bone become brittle in extreme cold and fracture easier?

    Just throwing an idea out there, but these individuals might have frozen to death, what happens if you fill a bottle with water and stick it in the freezer? It expands and can fracture the bottle.....

    Anyway, could be terribly wrong..... In that case, my guess would be that the coroner just misread the signs. Based on what I can read, is it a coincidence that the bodies that showed internal trauma where the ones that sat out in the cold and elements for several months? Those bodies can't have been pristine and I think it entirely possible that the coroner just flat out made a mistake in saying that there was no soft tissue damage.

    You're obsessed. What do you want Ferentz to say? It's laughable you think that there was some kind of hidden and malicious intent that went on behalf of the coaching staff. They BOR investigated and they abandoned the workout. How do you explain not everyone getting sick? Was Ferentz and his evildoers just targeting 13 players?

    How do you explain 13 players getting sick at the same and Ferentz and the Iowa football program downplaying it...that's the real mystery and the real question you as an Iowa fan should have been asking.

    Downplaying it? Ferentz met with every single one of those players and their parents. What you think is downplaying in the media (hence, what is visible to you) has nothing to do with how he handled it behind closed doors.

    Don't hijack what is otherwise an entertaining thread.

    It's a low powered short wave radio broadcast that does nothing bur repeat numbers, letters, morris code...etc... in various (usually women's) voices.

    They have never been officially claimed to be run by any government, though government documents do refer to them.

    Think the "LOST" numbers/transmissions. Transmissions like this actually exist.

    It's not exactly spooky, it's just a means of long range, (potentially) clandestine communication. I guess the fact that it broadcasts numbered codes instead of words makes it clandestine, though it could be a prankster as easily as it could be a spy ring, issuing orders to sleeper agents.

    I'm sure it could be pretty fun to buy a SW radio, and get onto some of the websites/email lists of the enthusiasts. They seem to work pretty hard to decode and track down the various stations (though, I suspect a real spy ring or drug cartel would be sophisticated enough to simply broadcast from different locations to avoid detection).

    I guess it's like solving any other puzzle, but this allows for collaboration with others, and of course the conspiracty theories add a bit of intrigue.
