Supposedly more than 1 gun shot went off. I'd still say Oswald isnt the killer. Just pinned for the crime....probably not the first but definitely not the last time.


E. Howard Hunt made a deathbed confession.

The Down The Hill documentary on HLN is a 2 part series.
First part gets a D+, IMO. Too many commercials and repeated pieces with little information. Hopefully part 2 tomorrow will be better.
FYI, episode 1 will reair a couple more times overnight for thise wanting to watch/ record.

Honestly, I’d bet the investigation on that was really lacking.

Yuba County 5 is a crazy one. I know the guys were all a bit crazy, but then you have the old guy with the broken down car and his strange encounter, weird details at the scene..


That old man was a Baw.

Has a heart attack and then walks 8 miles through snow at night.

Someone on YouTube did a mini documentary on the story and I saw this in the comments.

The untold story surrounding the stolen motorcycle in Mississippi thing has me scratching my head.

I-70 Serial Killer

Let's all pretend that Wichita is not 95 miles away from I-70. (Though I-35 does run though it so there is a connection with the Texas murders mentioned in the article.)

The recent use of DNA as evidence has revolutionized the clearing of cold cases. However I have to add the one that has consumed my thoughts over the years - the disappearance of Joan Risch.. She was a 31-year old housewife and mother of two toddlers when she disappeared, leaving only a blood-smeared kitchen. Fifty-nine years ago.

Many cold cases have police incompetency at their core, however this was a case which absorbed every law enforcement agency available, including the FBI and the Massachusetts SP. And still does.

Idk if it has been said, but if you watch the recent documentaries on Jon Benet, it’s almost certainly her brother that killed her either on accident or on purpose and her parents found out and covered it up so they wouldn’t “lose 2 children”

The disappearance of Brandon Lawson.

Creepy shite. There are voicemails from him where it's not obvious what's going on but sounds like he's running/hiding from someone in the middle of the night on some highway in Bumfrick, Texas.

True Crime Garage has a good series on it.



TCG did a good job on that, but there's a 99% chance the dude was so methed out that he ran into the brush and died somewhere.

The Legend of The Bell Witch.

One of the only times supernatural forces were officially blamed in a death.

Early 1800s Tennessee so who knows but it is interesting

I never understood the mystery around this one. Avalanche in the middle of the night, the sound scares the hikers and they run, hypothermia sets in fast, some try to hike out and also succumb to hypothermia.


It doesn't quite explain the absurd amounts of radiation in the corpses.

Off the subject, but what ever happened to that sheriff's deputy and his school teacher wife who were caught banging their son and filming it? Believe they were over in Walker or somewhere like that.

ETA - Dennis Perkins was the name.

Roopkund Lake in remote India

Hundreds of folks’ bones scattered in a glacier-fed lake. The bones date from the 12th Century into the 18th Century and are from varied ethnic groups and geographic locations.

This one isn't the most famous, but it cuts me close: Jennifer's mother is my first cousin.

She was twelve years old, walking home, and ambushed. Killed almost immediately. Totally random.

There might be some connection to another crime in the area, but it's all still speculation. Almost 28 years ago, and nothing solid has come out to tell us who did it.

The Rebecca Zahau case is another one that is super crazy. LINK

Rebecca was the live-in girlfriend of a rich dude named Jonah Shacknai. She was watching his kids when his son was injured in the home (and died a few days later). It does appear it was an actual accident. Rebecca picked up her boufriend's brother, Adam, from the airport so he could visit his nephew. The next morning, she was found hanging naked from a balcony outside the master bedroom. Her feet and hands were bound behind her back and she was gagged, but it was ruled a suicide. The words "She saved him, can he save her" was found written on the doorway of the bedroom. Her boyfriend's brother was ruled at fault in a civil trial, but no criminal charges were every filed.
