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.

Seems like I read that several of the people in the group worked in nuclear related occupations.

Ann Manguno Folsom, LA. I say her husband did it. Her skull was found 100 yards from my grandparents mailbox.

I believe she faked her death. How someone can manage to do that without getting caught, I will never know.

The Krentel case in Lacombe, LA.

---

Randy Smith is corrupt and dumb as frick.

Steve Krentel was having an affair, said he told Nanette about it and she was ok with it (her friends and family confirmed this wasn’t the case), took some random valuables and heirlooms out of the house before it burned, told people it was probably struck by lightening and Nanette died trying to save her dogs, and then used the insurance money to buy a new house in Mandeville. He absolutely thought his girlfriend was going to leave her husband and move in with him and her daughter. Instead she freaked the frick out, stayed with her husband and moved far away.

How in the frick he has not been arrested yet I do not understand.

AJ Breaux

There’s that male college student.

In the Midwest.

I forget what university maybe Michigan or Michigan State or Purdue or Iowa State.


Anyway.

He goes to the mall. And enters a restaurant. And literally never exits. Body never found.

Melissa Montz


Graduate student and instructor in Geology at LSU. Went on her regular morning run in the fall of 1985, never came home.

She was missing for 51 days before police found her decomposed body on Nov. 24, 1985, in a ditch between the 18th fairway of the LSU golf course and the railroad track along Nicholson Drive, near the Gourrier Avenue intersection. Montz was tied to a log and had been raped, police said. Montz was found with ropes around her arms, neck and legs. They believe she was strangled to death, but so much of her body had disintegrated it was nearly impossible to definitely determine a cause of death. An intense rain came not long after she was left in the ditch filled with trash and debris.

Montz’s shorts were gone, but her shirt and shoes were found, along with a whistle. She was also missing a ring and a watch, but detectives don’t know if the items were stolen or washed away.


SHE TAUGHT ME GEOLOGY 101 AT LSU THE PREVIOUS SPRING SEMESTER.


No one was ever arrested in her murder.

The Baton Rouge police re-opened the case in 2015, nothing ever came of it.

Still bugs me and makes me sad.

I remember seeing all the flyers on campus when she was just 'missing', and one night before a home football game that fall, my then- girlfriend/now wife (who didn't go to LSU) got out of my sight in the dark on campus when we were walking to the game, and I kind of lost it and yelled at her to always be by my side. She didn't know or understand the situation, and once I told her about my former instructor she understood my freaking out.

The Russians clearly are covering something up, maybe a weapon test or something

It was a carload of mental deficients that got lost. What’s baffling about that?

Matthias was psycho, not intellectually deficient. The other 4 were. Which is why the most likely scenario is that Matthias forced/convinced them them to go off course and into the wilderness. Matthias is also the only one whose body was never found
