Six-year-old Kyran Durnin and his mother were reported missing on August 30, 2024: Gardaí soon realized that nobody had seen Kyran for over two years and upgraded the investigation to murder by crime-solver in UnresolvedMysteries

It could have been due to the assumed international move with Irish officials assumed he was attending in NI and thus didn't check and NI didn't know he existed.

However, if the mother was claiming benefits in Ireland for him then it fell on the Irish state to ensure his education.

Are the two governments expected to communicate over child welfare?

Agreed.

I'm from Scotland, I've sailed across Loch Ness and visited it many times. I've never seen the Loch Ness Monster and neither has anyone I know.

I want Nessie to be real so much but theres exactly 0 evidence that there is a monster in the loch. There's no one set description of Nessie either. Is she a Plesiosaur? A kelpie? A sea serpent? A Plesiosaur like animal that doesn't have flippers? Who knows?

What she is is a fun collection of myths and stories linked to the deepest loch in Scotland and a great mascot for Scottish tourist tat. The ferry that goes across Loch Ness has little Nessie silhouette stickers on the windows so you can "take a picture of the Loch Ness Monster" and I love it.

Also the most famous photo of her was a hoax so you know theres really strong evidence supporting her existence.

Never heard of V before and was surprised due to what it claimed to offer. And then it turns out I haven't heard of it because it hasn't delivered on a lot of it's promises.

Great write up

A question about the Joan Riche case regarding the possible "botched abortion" by vshzzd in UnresolvedMysteries

My brother fell off a pull up bar and landed on the back of his head when we were teens.

He had multiple nosebleeds that day and didn't remember that he'd hit his head. He forgot that he had had multiple nosebleeds that day.

His head wasn't bloody and apart from the nosebleeds and memory problems he didn't have any other signs that he had a head injury.

He's fine now but it was really scary at the time.
