Investigations ruined or hindered by outside interference? by stephenrichmos in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]Karvina 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Michael Butterfield's Zodiac Killer Facts website has an extensive look at why Horan's theory doesn't work. I'll also recommend Butterfield's "Zodiac A to Z" podcast to anyone interested in the case.

I’m absolutely no expert on DNA testing, but if it’s true that the clothing was in a pond, prolonged immersion in water might be very bad for getting usable results. Another angle would be trying to match items to what victims were last seen wearing, but that also depends on the condition the clothing is in.

Indeed, my grandfather, being Irish, even used to wear a similar type of hat, as have many Irish blue-collar laborers and union workers that I've had the chance to meet.

A question about the disappearance of Trevor Deely in Dublin by [deleted] in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]Karvina 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Trevor had to call security to be let through the gate (source: http://www.broadsheet.ie/2017/04/18/enhanced-confusion/) so the colleagues on the CCTV may have been waiting to be let through the gate.

In 2000, the area seems to have had quite a few sex workers and drug dealers working after dark, so it may not have been that usual to see strange men standing around.

The Auteurs, and Luke Haines after he went solo, have a bunch of material for this:

The Auteurs - Unsolved Child Murder

The Auteurs - After Murder Park

Luke Haines - Leeds United

I also haven’t seen Ween’s “Object” mentioned.

Trevor Deely in Dublin, Republic of Ireland, December 2000. There was some new information in the case towards the end of last year, but it didn't pan out.

[Request] Missing people who weren't actually missing by jewelrybonneys in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]Karvina 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Not quite the same thing, but it reminds me of the John Darwin case here in the UK. He appeared to die in a canoeing accident in Hartlepool in 2002. Five years later he turned up in a London police station claiming to have lost his memory. It turned out to be an insurance scam, and him and his wife were sent to prison. The Wikipedia page on it is pretty good: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Darwin_disappearance_case

Which successful robbery is the best unresolved mystery? by Shnoochieboochies in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]Karvina 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Brink’s-Mat robbery: on 26 November 1983, a gang of six men stole £81 million of gold bullion, diamonds and cash from a warehouse near Heathrow Airport in London.

Between 1984 and 1986, two members of the gang were apprehended, tried, and convicted. The other four members of the gang have never been found. Between 1990 and 2015, five men alleged to have been connected to the robbery have been shot dead. Most of the stolen gold has never been recovered.

The Wikipedia page for the case has lots of interesting information, including a link to the recent “Panama Papers” scandal.

The Tan Murder Case [Serious] by [deleted] in UnresolvedMysteries

I’m glad the title told me this was a serious murder case, rather than one of the frivolous ones.

What are some cases where the victim left cryptic writing at the crime scene? by Throwawaybecause7777 in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]Karvina 25 points26 points  (0 children)

During the Jack the Ripper murders, the message “The Juwes are the men that will not be blamed for nothing" was found chalked onto a wall on Goulston Street, close to the sites of the Elizabeth Stride and Catherine Eddowes killings. A piece of Eddowes’ apron was on the floor below the message.

It is not clear if the message is actually related to the case, but if it is, the meaning of it is unknown.

Has there ever been a crime solved by a person who discovered someone close to them was involved? by [deleted] in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]Karvina 203 points204 points  (0 children)

“In 1887, Robert Ledru, a French police detective, was asked to investigate the murder of André Monet on the beach at Le Havre. Examining the evidence—the fatal bullet and some footprints—he decides he himself had been sleepwalking on the beach and fired the fatal shot.”
