Mystery Still Unsolved

Almost 27 years ago, Melanie (Mel) Ethier, was walking home from a friends house in quiet Ontario town, when something happened and she was never seen again. There are so many cinnamon twists and churro turnies including not 1 BUT 2 possible cases of mistaken identity! But, you guys, there is one theory that I REALLY believe to my core, is the answer to the question: What happened to Melanie Ethier. Listen to today's episode and find out all about it!   PATRON LINK: https://patron.podbean.com/mysterystillunsolved   SOURCES: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Melanie_Ethier https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jqen6n3jCRs https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/v5i3z2/what_happened_to_melanie_ethier_melanie_was_15/ https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/melanie-ethier-disappeared-on-a-short-walk-home-does-anyone-alive-know-who-took-her/article_c269b14e-b15f-50ef-8562-03f84cb565f2.html https://globalnews.ca/news/3278576/more-than-20-years-later-ontario-mom-searches-for-answers-in-daughters-disappearance/

Today we will discuss 6 notoriously cursed jewels who brought their owners nothing but misfortune, insanity and even death. MORAL OF THE STORY: Don't steal or acquire stolen sacred Hindu jewels. Seems like a no brainer but... ya know. PATRON LINK: https://patron.podbean.com/mysterystillunsolved

One morning in January 2013, a passerby near Centraal Station in Amsterdam noticed bright blue parcel floating in the IJ River. Many people had probably seen it and thought nothing of it but this person thought something seemed suspicious... and they were right.

Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froone were living their best life. They had just graduated from college and wanted to celebrate by going on the adventure of a lifetime- Panama! One day, Kris sent her BF a quick FB message letting him know she and Lisanne would be going on a hike and then.. no one ever heard from them again. 10 weeks later their remains were found 14 hours walking distance from the trail's head. Their phones and cameras had been in use on and off for 11 days before being turned off for the final time. What happened to them? And what's the deal with a missing photo deleted from the digital camera? The one photo that seems to separate "happy, fun, go lucky" Lisanne and Kris and "creepy AF" pics of darkness?! Don't get me wrong, I love hiking, but this episode is making me rethink all my life choices. This case reminds us that nature is beautiful but it can also be terrifying...  

As much as I love covering old timey cases, seriously, they're my jam, I don't want to ignore the many current cases currently happening around the world. So, for my first installment of MSU: Current Cases, I chose to cover Ylva Hagner, the Palo Alto woman who disappeared from NASA's parking lot. Eric Richens who died last year and now his wife is being charged with his death which may not have been so "unexplainable" after all. Lastly, we'll cover Chris "Willow" Wilson, a crocodile wrangler who died just a few months ago and now his best friend is being charged?! All of these cases are currently pending which means more information will most likely come every day regarding them- but I want to talk about them and get your thoughts and ideas! 

In honor of Cinco de Mayo, today we will be delving into a cryptid of latin origin. The Chupacabra is a relatively new creature, first reported in the 1990s. The first sighting was made on the tiny island of Puerto Rico and since then, sightings have been reported thoughout the world. One thing you may not know, is that not all locations view the chupacabra the same. In Mexico and Puerto Rico the animal has a more reptilian appearance and in the southwestern United States, the chupacabra is described more like a canine. I bet you don't know all there is to know about Chupacabras so take a listen!!

The legend of the Wendigo is one of the most frightening and disturbing that I've ever heard- and it originated in North America of all places! Did a malevolent monster really walk among us or was it a warning to those who gave in to selfish impulses? Scientists say one thing, but the first hand accounts ranging from 1661 to the mid 1980s say differently!  PATRON LINK: https://patron.podbean.com/mysterystillunsolved     SOURCES: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendigo#:~:text=The%20Wendigo%20was%20gaunt%20to,recently%20disinterred%20from%20the%20grave.   https://until-dawn.fandom.com/wiki/The_Wendigos#:~:text=Despite%20being%20undead%2Dseeming%20mutant,is%20free%20to%20possess%20them.   https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/windigo#:~:text=A%20windigo%20(or%20wendigo)%20is,of%20their%20greed%20or%20weakness.   https://www.tbsnews.net/splash/legend-wendigo-44773   https://mhi.fandom.com/wiki/Wendigo#:~:text=Wendigos%20were%20once%20humans%2C%20but,and%20feed%20solely%20on%20it.

Transylvania is known for Vlad the impaler, the inspiration behind the infamous Dracula character, but did you know it's also the home to the creepy Romanian Forest, Hoia Baciu?! This place is said by locals to be the "summer home" to the devil himself, a portal to another dimension, a possible time machine or the favorite tourist spot for species of the alien variety.

The stars finally aligned and both my Mom and I are having our Spring Breaks on the same week so...In honor of April Fool's Day, today I will be sharing with you a few of my favorite dumb and downright ridiculous crimes from history! My mom joins in on the fun and shares her honest reactions to these "not so well thought out" blunders, haha! Including, but not limited to, putting pigs on trial for murder, a man who shoved the royal jewels down his underpants and a guy who probably wished he hadn't robbed a place with a parrot :D We hope you find these tales as humorous as we did!

The Hotel President in Kansas City, Missouri has hosted the likes of Frank Sinatra, Benny Goodman and Marilyn Maye. At one point, it even hosted a republican party convention. But that's not what it's famous for... no no no! Today, we'll talk about the hotel's sordid past and the REAL reason it's famous. Also, in the episode, I say that I'm placing an order for t-shirts tomorrow, but seeing as I got this episode out kinda late. I'll wait to place the order until Sunday night- so you still have time!

On her 15th birthday, Mary Lou Arruda's orange 10 speed bicycle was found abandoned on the side of the road. A rookie cop, either didn't know or didn't care about the dumb "wait 24 hours before you search for a kid because it's the 70s and we're dumb" rule so he sprang into action- securing the scene, questioning witnesses, and bagging evidence. But would it be enough to find her before it was too late? Or help them find the monster preying on young girls in the Bridgewater Triangle area?  Trigger Warnings: Crimes against children + Brutality against minors SOURCES: https://allrise.blubrry.net/2021/12/04/the-lonely-death-of-mary-lou-arruda/   https://www.wcvb.com/article/with-death-of-mary-lou-arruda-s-killer-raynham-hopes-wounds-will-heal/8231151   https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/026-the-story-of-mary-lou-arruda/id1605653611?i=1000555388854   https://www.grunge.com/889981/disturbing-details-found-in-mary-lou-arrudas-autopsy/   https://thecinemaholic.com/mary-lou-arruda-murder-is-james-kater-dead-or-alive/   https://open.spotify.com/episode/2VuqcDWRJ4Mf0ktJ9aYxaL?si=0adca833e90349b2

Today we will be discussing the disappearance of the Roanoke Colony. In the late 1500s 120 English settlers landed on the island of Roanoke, off the coast of North Carolina. Governor John White left about a month later to gather supplies. When he returned, the town had been abandoned. The only clues was the word "Croatoan" carved into a fence post and the word "Cro" carved into a nearby tree. What happened to the settlers? We'll discuss 5 popular theories ranging from practical to koo koo for coco puffs! ENJOY!

WELCOME TO THE FINAL EPISODE OF OUR 2022 HALLOWEEN SERIES! The format of today's episode is a little different than normal. Rather than one long episode about one topic, we'll cover 5 or 6. There are definitely two that I am dying to make into a full length episode. I just figured people might be running around today and that a shorter episode might be appreciated! Don't forget I'll be back THIS THURSDAY with another incredible episode. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! SOURCES:

HALLOWEEN SERIES! Welcome to the 3rd episode of this year's Halloween Series! Today we will discuss the atrocities that occurred within the walls of the Pennhurst State Hospital and how what happened there may be contributing to the so-called "hot spot" of paranormal instances occurring there. While the hospital opened in 1908, it wasn't shut down until 1987 when an expose of the facility was finally brought to light to the American people. The expose was disturbing, appalling and people were ANGRY! Learn why by listening to today's episode!

HALLOWEEN SERIES!! Welcome to the 2nd episode of the 2022 Halloween Series! Today we'll discuss the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. While you may be familiar with the tale- did you know that the town of Sleepy Hollow is a real place you can visit? It has the old bridge that leads straight to the little dutch church. If you're brave enough to meander over to the cemetery you will find a headstone that reads: Catrina Von Tassel. Yup- the Catrina!! There's even a Hessian soldier believed to have actually lost his head on a battlefield nearby, just like the headless horseman! Grab some snacks and a flashlight and try not to get too scared as we discuss America's oldest and favorite ghost story.

HALLOWEEN SERIES!! Welcome to the first episode of the 2022 Halloween Series. Today we'll be discussing everything you've ever wanted to know about the Salem Witch Trials. But only the TRUTH! Like, did you know that contrary to what pop culture references would have you believe, no one in the Salem Witch Trials was ever burned at the stake or thrown off a cliff? Nope. We'll discuss the most believed origin story (all documents of the trial were destroyed by the state of Massachusetts- so we are just kind of forced to guess) and some interesting ideas for what caused the only legitimate witch trials on American soil.

In the late 1910's a dark entity began terrorizing the, usually jovial, city of New Orleans. Some called him a dark spirit. Others called him the boogeyman. But the killer himself wanted to be known simply as: The Axe Man. In his 18 month reign of terror it is believed he attacked at the very least 12 people and killed 6 (I think it's way more but you've gotta listen to the episode to hear why!) He also sent a bizarre letter to the press making March 19th, 1919 one of New Orleans most hoppin' nights in its history.... So, what are you waiting for? Let's "Jazz It" Baby!

Some died of hypothermia, nothing out of the ordinary, right? But the others... well they would die in a more peculiar way. They would be found with missing eyeballs, tongues and singed off eyebrows. They're bones would be shattered, withstanding the same amount of pressure as being hit by a freight train... but with no external injuries or bruises to explain why or how. For decades couch potato sleuths like us have been scratching our heads... listen to get all the details of this curious case!

Summer is wild but I'm BAAAAaaack! Today we will recap S1E10 of Unsolved Mysteries. THE FIRST UNSOLVED MYSTERIES EPISODE I EVER WATCHED AS A CHILD. It was nostalgic to work on this episode in a traumatizing, loss of innocence type of way, LOL!  We will talk about Charlie Sigman who thought he had finally found love and happiness in a woman named Ann... He was wrong. We will discuss a phenomenon called "missing time." Ok, hear me out, even if we don't have proof that aliens exist... imagine for a moment that these people are telling the truth. That would raise frightening questions: Why are they here? What do they want? Lastly, we will talk about sweet Rogest Cain who left to go to a hardware store and never came home. There are clues that he perhaps suffered a mild stroke or some medical crises and he is having a hard time finding his way back home.  SOURCES:  Unsolved Mysteries S1E10  

Hey! It's been a hot minute since we've had an onsite episode- last Summer in fact so ACTUALLY A HOT MINUTE! Today we'll be talking about 3 murders that occurred within a 7 month span. All 3 had 3 things in common: Drugs, Florida and a sketchy lawyer named Cabell Venable. Jackson Hole has always been kind of a party town, even more so during the years of 1983-1985 but had these three partied too hard? Or met someone sketchy while out on the town? Listen & Find out! FYI: There is a fabulous update on one of the victims!!  SOURCES: https://www.keloland.com/keloland-com-original/execution-style-death-of-sioux-falls-man-in-wyoming-remains-unsolved/ http://www.sublette.com/examiner/v8n49/v8n49s7.htm https://archive.planetjh.com/2013/11/26/cold-case-files-jh/ https://archive.planetjh.com/2013/11/19/cold-case-files-jh-80s-jackson-hole-slayings-unsolved-but-not-forgotten/  

Guess how many times I misspoke and said "extracurriculars" instead of "extraterrestrials" on my first take recording this episode? Bahaha! Today's episode delves into the mysterious history and happenings of Area 51. So put on some metallics, paint your face green and take me to your leader! And in case your wondering, my husband does NOT agree with my take on the moon landing LOL! He said Neil Armstrong would hate my guts.  SOURCES: https://www.britannica.com/place/Area-51 https://www.history.com/news/what-goes-on-at-area-51 https://www.businessinsider.com/area-51-american-conspiracy-theories-aliens-history-animation-video-2017-7

Hey you! Yeah YOU! I'm back and I'm hitting you up with an extra long episode today to make up for being gone last week! Today we will cover a Utah missing person's case. 15 year old, Spanish Fork native, Kiplyn Davis went missing on May 2nd, 1995. No one claims to have seen her after lunch. In the entries of Kiplyn's journal, her parents learn about a boy Kiplyn may have been seeing. But, there's also another boy who asked her on out on a date a little before she went missing and he also went MIA after lunch the day Kiplyn disappeared... After years of uncertainty, 3 boys willingly subject themselves to a polygraph. The polygraph answers don't provide concrete answers but... one boy's confession, prior to the test, changes everything!  SOURCES: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Kiplyn_Davis   https://www.deseret.com/2006/2/28/19940702/i-did-it-i-raped-and-killed-kiplyn   https://www.deseret.com/2019/5/3/20672430/family-of-utah-teen-who-went-missing-24-years-ago-still-hopes-for-her-return   https://kutv.com/news/local/attorney-man-convicted-in-utah-teens-murder-has-done-all-he-can-to-help-find-remains   https://crimejunkiepodcast.com/missing-kiplyn-davis/   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgnF5THNZ6A

Today we will discuss Aokigahara, otherwise known as the Suicide Forest that is about a two hour drive from Tokyo, Japan. This mystical forest became famous after a novel was published about it in 1961, but the deaths pre-date the book. We will talk about the forest's dark history, its mystical properties and what is going on in there now from a man who spends dozens of hours each week in there as a suicide prevention specialist.   National Suicide Hotline: 800-273-8255 open 24/7 365 days a year.

It all started at Kmart. A 2 year old girl was found abandoned in the parking lot. She wouldn't answer anyone's questions. A woman later saw the little girl's picture in the paper and immediately recognized her as her grand-daughter Crystal. The two were reunited and Crystal's grandmother asked her, "Where is mommy?" Crystal's reply is chilling and will undoubtedly give me nightmares for the rest of my life. "Mommy's in the trees. Mommy's in the trees. Mommy's in the trees." *Editors Note* I am a dummy and for a very small portion of this episode I will refer to Mike as "Steve" ... WTF is Steve?! Idk. I'm blaming it on Spring Break. Please forgive me :( SOURCES: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9PCCZwKHE4    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9R_eRvpLjRc  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaOG3GQio24

In today's episode we will dive into the legend of the Goat Man. We'll also discuss the three places in the US which seem to be hot spots in terms of Goat Man encounters. I thought this would be reminiscent of Moth Man with like festivals and stuff... not so. Not so at all my friends. This episode takes a turn. But don't worry, there's comedic relief sprinkled in... y'all I'm sorry but, I had to do it. ;) Here's the link to the Utah "Goat Man" Siting aka literally the BEST minute of your day today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTGOQBDPXrM Sources: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEZfGlyLQnA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goatman_(urban_legend) https://cryptidz.fandom.com/wiki/Goatman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etTq-UIq2e4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3wlyWfGb5Y

Jaliek Rainwalker was born to a mother addicted to cocaine. Naturally, he was placed into foster care until he was later adopted by the McDonald-Kerr Family. It didn't take long for the family to decide that Jaliek's behavior was "unmanageable." They even asked to reverse the adoption. The state informed Jaliek's adoptive parents that this was no longer an option. Shortly after this conversation, Jaliek came up missing. Jaliek's biological family, adoptive grandparents, former foster care families and the entire Greenwich community want to find him... well everybody, it seems, except... his adoptive parents. Where is Jaliek Rainwalker?!?

Hannah Truelove was a vibrant, free-spirited 16 year old living in Gainesville, Georgia. It was 2012, and social media was rampant... and lemme tell you something. Hannah? She was here for it. The girl loved to post statuses, take pictures and tweet. LOTS OF TWEETING! Twitter was, by far, her platform of choice. In the days leading up to her death, Hannah began posting some unclear... possibly ominous tweets. Now her friends, parents and detectives must comb through those tweets in order to determine if they are all just dramatic teen verbiage... or could they hold the key to who killed Hannah?

In today's episode we will recap S1E9 of Unsolved Mysteries with my love Mr. Robert "Late Night Snack" Stack. We will cover the case of Kurt Sova. Did he die of alcohol intoxication or something far more sinister? We'll hear a plea from a man in search of both his father and son. 2 priests are murders 2000 miles apart... but there are similarities. Is there a serial killer(s) targeting priests across the United States? And then there's this story about a dude who finds a magic rock and then his luck changes forever. Is the rock really mystical? Or is it all a load of bull? You be the judge.

Cassandra Rundle had, within the past year, posted 2 ads in a local paper looking for "one good man" she asked that men send her a letter with their picture to her home address. 85 men responded. On February 14th, 1985, Cassandra and her daughter were assaulted and murdered in their home. Detreicht walked in on it, after playing hockey with friends. The perpetrator then set his sights on Detreicht and killed him with his own hockey stick. Cassandra had been looking for "one good man" and now the Colorado Springs detectives are on the hunt for "one evil SOB."  SOURCES: https://www.fox21news.com/news/local/valentines-day-triple-murder-still-unsolved-35-years-later/amp/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWLJ77D4Lgo (weirdest video I've ever seen in my life, but good info) https://www.fox21news.com/news/local/valentines-day-triple-murder-still-unsolved-35-years-later/
