    Re: Bizarre Unsolved Mysteries

    For what It's worth, i think this guy http://wiki.casebook.org/index.php/George_Hutchinson is highly suspicious in the Jack The Ripper case.

    A witness puts him at the scene.

    He comes forward 3 days later, admits he is the guy seen, and then says he saw the deceased with a man, probably her killer

    He gives a very detailed account of what the guy looked like (and names him as a Jew)


    Here is where it gets interesting to me:

    He says he saw them on the way back from a city and in front of a bar/"hotel". However the bar was not on his way home. So that means he lied about something.

    He says the man was 5'5 (about average height at the time). How did he know this? Mary Kelly, the deceased, was 5'7, very tall for a woman at that time. He curiously did not mention she was taller then the man.

    In modern police work, we all know that some murderers attempt to insert themselves into a case (Atlanta Child Murders, for example), at the time this was unknown to police.

    His home is centrally located to all the crimes. Modern analysis tells us serial killers strike within a comfort zone. His residence is in the middle of that zone.



    Very little is known of him, & the Ripper case will never be fully solved, but he is interesting.

    Yahoo had a Time slideshow of some famous disapperances - didn't have time to look through them all. Some were repeats, like D.B. Cooper, but others I've never heard of, especially the frogman one.

    Missing life boat = crew entered the lifeboat.

    Big question is why? Fumes theory makes sense

    I always assumed this as well. If they didn't get in the lifeboat why was the usable navigation equipment gone? On a wooden boat with alcohol splashing around the holds someone probably got worried. Makes sense to let the ship ride out any bad weather while the lifeboat was roped to the stern. Once clear get back on.

    I always found the Joyita more of a head scratching sea mystery. Just plain defies logic to abandon a ship that couldn't possibly sink.

    Fair enough but slightly different, this particular craft was not engineered as unsinkable but at the time it may well have been. Essentially that boat could have been sliced in half and still floated due to the displacement being so minimal.

    I have read quite a bit on this and no one knows what was taken beyond the navigational equipment. Surely they took some provisions, water and food for a couple days at the least. Could have been stowed in the bottom of the life boat. This a not a rush evacuation IMO, no way they stripped a rope from the main mast to tie the lifeboat to the stern (assuming that is what they did - seems likely to me) - far too time consuming to suggest a rushed evac. if they didn't intend to re-embark the craft when the captain deemed it safe no sense tying up to the main vessel.

    This one I will plainly state that I have absolutely no clue what happened. Usually I can read about these events (I love sea stories!) and venture a good guess based on the available data but in this one case don't have the slightest clue what could have happened short of every experienced seaman being incapacitated at once causing a panic to abandon ship.

    You talking about Mary Celeste of Joyita Jake?

    No chance in the Celeste IMO, ship would have been swamped and sank in a heartbeat with all hands.

    I give Joyita a 'maybe' but even a rogue wave would not have sank that (admittedly I am stating the obvious since it was found deserted )- it would have tumbled around and such but not sank. Surely someone was inside and didn't get swept into the ocean. Also, while the damage to the superstructure and missing lifeboats could be explained by a rogue wave it appears that, whatever happened, someone was injured and required treatment (hence the blood soaked bandages found) making me think it was a conscious decision to abandon ship. This explanation would make a lot more sense to me if I knew the captain and the crew all died on impact though, they all knew damn well that short of a torpedo or something equally catastrophic that ship had a 1 in 100 chance of sinking.

    Agreed, that is why I clarified what I said by saying the explanation makes more sense if you assume the crew was dead or incapacitated. Short of that no sense taking to a lifeboat.

    A couple of good explanations on this, particularly on the Mary Celeste.

    #1 is a bit on the 2nd bomber at Oklahoma City. I think it is highly likely someone else was there.


    Also, the page before that has RFK stuff.
