Top 15 Unsolved Mysteries Leaving Viewers Puzzled

Number 15. Lauren Dumolo The missing persons case of Lauren Dumolo  remains unsolved after nearly 3 years and has led investigators down a wild road filled with  twists, turns and an unending string of unanswered questions. The victim’s family is still seeking  answers about what happened to their loved one. On June 19th, 2020, Lauren's boyfriend, Gabriel  Pena, woke up for work as usual around 6 a.m. and kissed his girlfriend goodbye. Lauren had a  daily routine of waking up around 8 a.m. every

day to visit the Four Freedoms Park in Cape Coral,  Florida, just a 6-minute walk from her apartment. A witness later reported that Lauren stuck to  her daily schedule on that day as she was seen leaving the park around 8:30 a.m. After this  she approached a maintenance man that worked at her apartment complex and asked him about cheaper  apartments in the area. This witness told police that she stated she was looking for somewhere  new to start over because she wanted to leave the situation sh

e was in. This vague statement would  later make much more sense after investigators learned of the turmoil she faced in the weeks  leading up to her disappearance. On that same day, when Gabriel came home from work around 10 p.m.,  his girlfriend was nowhere to be found. He called her father, Paul Dumolo, and asked what he should  do. Paul told Gabriel to report her as missing, and Gabriel assured him he would file a report.  However, when Paul didn’t hear news of his daughter by the 21st of Ju

ne, he reached out  to the Cape Coral police department himself. Investigators there informed him that no report  had been filed in Lauren’s case. Once Paul finally reported his daughter missing, an extensive search  was sparked into action. Investigators found that Lauren had embarked on a recovery journey  after a history of substance abuse. On June 1st, police were called to the Four Freedoms Park after  witnesses saw Lauren jump into a basin near a hotel and watched her swim back to the publ

ic  lake in the park She was described as acting “erratically”. She told doctors and her father  that she felt as though she was being followed and her life was in danger. A short time after she  was reported missing, her purse, wallet, keys and a pair of her shoes were found under a tree at the  park. In the early stages of the investigation, surveillance footage from a nearby gas station was  uncovered. The footage was captured on June 18th, the day before Lauren vanished. The footage  shows h

er turning in a job application to the gas station. Lauren was in the midst of a custody  battle over her young daughter and needed the job to help her in the process. This simple gesture  showed that Lauren was serious about getting on the right path, making it more unlikely that  she left of her own free will. On June 23rd, while Lauren's sister was searching her apartment,  Gabriel came by to pick up his TV and told her that Lauren “obviously” wasn’t coming back. He  refused to elaborate. Dur

ing that same visit, he provided Lauren's sister with her fully charged  cell phone, with no answer as to how he had found it or why he had not shared it with investigators.  It’s important to note that, at this time, Gabriel is not officially considered a suspect. However,  the victim's family has expressed distrust of her boyfriend and his actions subsequent to Lauren’s  disappearance. On July 2nd, search members found a shirt that belonged to Lauren, thrown to the shore  near the water. Inves

tigators believe that this piece of evidence was planted due to previous  searches of the area failing to uncover it. On July 20th, the Cape Coral police department  provided cadaver dogs to search the park. Strangely, the dogs seemed to follow a scent to  Lauren’s mother’s home - just across the street from the park. This raised even more questions,  but sadly, ultimately led to a dead end. The search has covered a vast area which  has slowly made its way across the country. Countless areas of

wilderness and bodies of water  have been thoroughly searched, yet there have been no new updates on Lauren Dumolo’s disappearance in  nearly 3 years. Her family is still searching for answers and her case remains open and active.  If anyone has information regarding this case, there is a standing $8,000 reward. You can contact  crime stoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS. Information can also be reported to the National Missing and  Unidentified Persons System under the case number MP71789 as well as thro

Now, over 9 years after  her initial disappearance, investigators are still searching for any significant leads. Her  family still believes that she is somewhere out there waiting to be found. At the time of her  disappearance, Tiffany was working as a theater technician at Pensacola State College.

She seemed  to be thriving and loving her life which made it hard to believe that she would walk away from  it all or take her own life. On August 11th, 2013, the day before she vanished, Tiffany had a  celebratory breakfast with her boyfriend, who had recently been accepted into a robotics program in  Austin. According to her roommate Gary Nichols, Tiffany seemed to be in a sad and lethargic mood  for the rest of the day, which friends attributed to her boyfriend’s impending departure. That  ni

ght Nichols and Tiffany watched a movie and went to bed at an early hour. Around 5 a.m. the next  morning, Nichols said that he heard the front door opening and closing multiple times, but he found  that Tiffany was still asleep and the door was securely locked, with no intruders in sight. Later  that morning, Tiffany left for work around 7 a.m., which was earlier than usual. Oddly, everyone that  knew her reported she was never an early person, and it was routine for her to leave  at the last m

inute nearly every day. Tiffany arrived at work and asked her boss if she  could leave early that day and take a few days off from work, but she didn’t explain why, only saying  that she had to “take care of some things”. She clocked out of work that day at 4:43 p.m. By 10p.m  that night, Nichols returned home from work and noticed Tiffany wasn’t home. He called his own  daughter, Noel, for her opinion and he assured him not to worry as Tiffany was probably out with  friends. The following day,

Nichols arrived home to find that the power had been shut off. Worried  that Tiffany hadn’t paid her share of the bill, he made an effort to reach her and, when he could  not, made the decision to call her mother Cindy. She was immediately concerned, and Nichols, Noel  and Cindy began calling everyone they knew that was close to Tiffany. She had still not returned  to work and none of her friends had seen her. Finally, the police got involved and Detective  Daniel Harnett paid a visit to Tiffany

's home. Inside her room he found that she had left behind  her tent, which ruled out the possibility that she had gone on an impromptu camping trip. He also  discovered that after work on the day she went missing, Tiffany made a quick stop at her home.  However, Nichols reported that he didn’t notice her presence, despite supposedly being home at  the time. A few days after this, the news media picked up the story, which led to the discovery of  one of the biggest pieces of evidence in the case

. Tiffany’s car had been found parked in Park West  near Fort Pickens. Inside the car was her bike, cell phone, purse, wallet, clothes, paintings,  a jug of water and a jar of peanut butter. Witnesses later stated that the car had only  been parked there for 2 days, despite it being found nearly 8 days after she went missing.  They also shared that they had seen a man in red shorts coming out of the car when it was first  parked there but didn’t see anything after that. Investigators found finge

rprints belonging  to an unknown male on the door handle and steering wheel, but they were unable to  identify the person they belonged to. A review of highway toll footage showed Tiffany’s  car passing over the Pensacola Beach Bridge on August 12th around 7 p.m., about 3 hours after  the missing woman had left work. It was unclear from the footage who was driving the car, though.  Investigators were able to dismiss both Nichols and Tiffany’s boyfriend as suspects as both  had verifiable alibis

and no foul play could be clearly identified. A search team went to work,  combing through nearby woodland paths and the beach waters. Nothing useful was found. The case  went cold after some time, but the victim’s family carried on their search. In January 2014, an odd  tip was sent in by a waitress at a restaurant in Metairie, Louisiana. She claimed to have seen a  woman matching Tiffany’s description come in with 2 other women. Only one of the women spoke to the  waitress and the others seeme

d scared and timid. The waitress recognized one of the women as  matching Tiffany’s description and noticed that she asked if a soup she was planning to order  was made with chicken or fish broth. As a devoted pescatarian, Tiffany’s family noted that this is  likely something that their loved one would have done. However, the three women left in a hurry  after the waitress grew suspicious, and there was no security footage available from the restaurant,  so this tip never went anywhere. Despite

this and a handful of other reported sightings in the  years since her disappearance, Tiffany Daniels remains a missing person to this day. You can  contact the Pensacola Police Department at 1-850–435–1900 if you have any tips or details  about Tiffany's disappearance or whereabouts. Information can also be reported to the National  Missing and Unidentified Persons System. Number 13. The Hothfield Man The case of the Hothfield Man follows the  story of an unidentified John Doe that was found de

ceased in a sleeping bag on the side of  the road in Ashford, Kent, England, on May 25th, 1983. Due to a lack of technology and  forensics at the time of the incident, details surrounding the case vary from source to  source. In the early morning hours of May 25th, passersby reported seeing a man asleep on the  side of the road, in a grassy boulevard. They were concerned for the man's safety and  hoped police would get him off the road. When officers arrived, they made the shocking  discovery th

at the victim was no longer alive. He was brought in for an autopsy. Some records  reported that the cause of death was an overdose, while others insist natural causes were to  blame. The man was found with no identification, no money and only a few camping items. He  was dressed in many layers of clothing, which seemed odd to investigators because his  fate occurred in the spring months of the year, and weather had been warm and comfortable.  After the body was brought in, local media began cov

ering the story in an attempt to help identify  the victim. No one from the public came forward to provide information about the Doe or to reveal  his identity. In the midst of the investigation, 2 officers were brought in who said that they had  details pertaining to the case. Apparently, 3 days before the Doe was found, police had interacted  with him. It’s unclear why officers were called to the scene, but important information was uncovered  in the short interview. Doe explained to the offic

ers that he didn’t have ID or money on him  because he was taking part in a bet with friends. He claimed that he and his friends were all going  to set out on their own and travel with little to no possessions, just to see if they could survive  the endeavor. This was clearly a dangerous game, but investigators had reason to believe that  either Doe was lying or that he had been set up by his friends. A letter was found in Doe’s  back pocket that was addressed to a man named Jack Simpson in Aust

ralia. The contents of the  letter were never released by the police but it’s important to note that the address was to a sort  of post-office, implying that Jack Simpson may not have had a fixed address or his address was not  known at the time. The investigation began to go cold after no new leads or evidence was unveiled.  The biggest piece of information that the team had was the claim that this Doe was participating in a  bet. It seemed that if he had friends who actually knew about the cha

llenge, or had any idea where  he was, they would eventually set out looking for him. News coverage of the case eventually  went international, making it even more likely that his friends – wherever they were – would  have spotted him and come forward. Of course, the common belief amongst the investigative team  was that this story about a “bet” was completely fictional or was part of a lie to conceal the  man's true intentions. He could have been running from a crime he committed and was hoping

to  escape justice by flying under the radar. 40 years have now passed since the discovery of the  Hothfield Man’s body and this strange case remains unsolved. For any information in identifying the  Hothfield Man, also known as the Ashford John Doe, please contact the UK Missing Persons  Unit with the case number 06-025589. Number 12. Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon Graduating from college is a huge accomplishment  that deserves to be celebrated. This is exactly what 21-year-old Kris Kremers an

d 22-year-old  Lisanne Froon planned to do while on a trip abroad in Panama after Froon’s graduation. The plan was  for the two Dutch women to spend about 6 weeks in Panama sightseeing, hiking, learning Spanish  and volunteering their time to locals in need. When the girls arrived in Panama on March 15th,  2014, the trip was off to a great start. According to their reports to their families, the women  had spent the first 2 weeks backpacking across the country and were loving every minute of  it

. On March 29th Kremers and Froon found a local family in the quaint village of Boquete,  Chiriquí that took them in. The plan was for them to stay there for a month while they worked as  volunteers with a local school and with children. That plan came to a tragic end when the girls  went missing just a few days after their arrival in Boquete. It was well-known that the girls  had a love for nature and hiking. In fact, they were well educated and experienced when it  came to the outdoors. So, it

was of no surprise or concern to those that knew them that one  of the first things they wanted to do during their stay was check out a local hiking trail.  The El Pianista trail was just a short distance from their temporary hometown and immediately  attracted their attention. According to reports, the pair left for their adventure around 11:00  a.m. on April 1st, 2014, with their backpacks. Witnesses reported seeing Kremers and Froon at  a local brunch restaurant with 2 Dutch men just an hour

or so after they departed from their  accommodations. According to some sources, they brought along a dog that belonged to the  owners of the restaurant they had stopped at. This was the last time the girls were ever seen  alive. That night, according to some sources, the restaurant owners became concerned when  their dog walked home without the girls. Though concerned citizens tried to reach them via cell  phone, they assumed they weren’t receiving a good signal in the forest, an assumption th

at  the investigation would later confirm. 2 more days passed without a word from the girls.  Prior to their disappearance, they always made sure to text their loved ones every single day  without fail, making the sudden silence all the more distressing. Finally, on April 3rd, they  were reported missing and by April 6th, their families arrived in Panama from the Netherlands  to work with local law enforcement. The search went on for ten days before the case began to  go cold. However, a huge pi

ece of evidence was discovered on June 14th when Froon’s backpack was  turned in after being found by a riverbank. The contents included the girl's phones, 2 pairs of  sunglasses, 2 bras, 83 dollars in cash, Froon’s passport and her camera. Investigators found that  the phones had been used over the course of 2 days. There were apparently numerous call attempts  to 911 but the lack of signal caused the calls to drop. Eventually, Froon’s phone died. Kremers'  phone had still been turned on a few

times, likely to search for a signal. From April 5th to  April 11th, Kremers’ phone was randomly turned on several times, but the wrong PIN code was entered  too often and the phone locked access. The images found on Froon’s camera all seemed to have been  taken by accident; the images were blurry and taken in pitch dark night, and nothing that could  point to the fate of the girls was visible in the photos. A few months after they were last seen the  girls were found - but it was sadly not a ha

ppy ending. Their skeletal remains were discovered  scattered throughout the area. Testing later confirmed that the bones – including a foot still  inside a hiking boot and a pelvic bone – belonged to Kremers and Froon. What happened to these  young women in the jungle remains a mystery, and their loved ones are still searching  for answers in their disappearance. Number 11. Owen Harding As the COVID-19 virus began to spread  rapidly in early 2020, countries across the world began implementing n

ew rules and  regulations. The practices included curfews, full blown lockdowns and extensive travel bans.  Everyone faced their own problems with these rules and cases of “lockdown casualties” began to  arise. This term refers to people that lost their lives as a result of limited movement trapping  people within their homes and communities, separating loved ones from one another and  potentially intensifying mental illness. It may not seem serious looking back, but one  mother from Saltdean, E

ngland has voiced her son’s story and directly connects his disappearance to  the lockdown and travel bans. Owen Harding was 16 years old when he vanished from his home on March  26th, 2020, shortly after the first UK lockdowns began. Owen had a sweetheart that he had known  since he was a young child. Everyone who knew them said that they were a pleasant pair that seemed  to make one another very happy. Unfortunately, Owen’s girlfriend, Meg, lived about a 4-hour  drive away from him. This meant

that they only got to visit one another occasionally. Considering  that the young couple already had trouble spending time together, neither of them were happy to  be separated for even longer thanks to the pandemic. Owen wanted to go to Meg’s house  before the lockdowns took effect so that he could spend his lockdown with her. However, his  mother did not approve of this idea. Apparently, in the weeks leading up to his disappearance,  he and his mother argued over the issue nearly every day. O

wen even mentioned to his friends that  he wanted to “make a run for it” and go to Meg’s house without permission; they assumed he was  making these statements in jest. On March 26th, just before 6 o’clock p.m., Owen and his mother  had a heated argument over the issue once again. This time, Owen left his home without telling  his mother where he was going. At the time, she assumed he was going to take a walk to blow  off steam and return home shortly but, sadly, that did not happen. Owen travel

ed to a nearby beach  where he planned to watch the sunset, according to a later report given by Meg, who he was in  contact with as he left his home. Two witnesses spotted the young man walking toward an area with  cliffs around 6:15 p.m. Investigators believe that Owen was spotted on CCTV footage around the time  his phone was last used, about 10 minutes after the witness reports. Owen never returned home  that night. His mother, Stella, made countless calls to friends and family in search of

her son  or any word of his last whereabouts, but no one had heard from him. When he had been missing for  24 hours, Stella reported his disappearance to the police. Later that same day, Meg and her parents  drove to Saltdean where they helped investigators and a massive search team. Unfortunately, Owen  was never found, and no new evidence has since been uncovered. Stella and Meg both theorized that  Owen fell from a cliff, got lost in the wilderness or perhaps drowned at sea after wandering  a

way from home. Anyone with information is urged to contact Saltdean police or the National  Missing and Unidentified Persons System. Number 10. Connie Converse Elizabeth Eaton Converse, better known by her  stage name Connie Converse, has been missing for over 48 years. There have been many theories  surrounding her disappearance over the years but none of them has been confirmed and the case is  still considered unsolved. The most interesting aspect of this case is the simple fact that  Connie

left behind a significant musical legacy. Connie moved to New York in the 1950s, initially  struggling as she worked for a photo printing business. She began to write songs and perform  them for her friends, accompanying herself on guitar. However, despite quickly gaining success,  her religious parents were strongly opposed to her music career and her father never heard  her sing. Connie persevered, however, and recorded an album for her brother, Philip.  She made an appearance on the CBS Morni

ng Show with Walter Cronkite to perform her music. About  20 years after first beginning to pursue music, she became frustrated and burned out with the  industry, opting to retire from it and move to Michigan with her brother Philip. While  there she began working as a secretary and spent more time with family. However, she began  relying more heavily on smoking and drinking, and appeared generally unhappy. After moving  in with her brother, Connie faced a series of medical problems and was told

she needed a full  hysterectomy. According to her mother, whom she first shared the news with, Connie was devastated.  As far as her friends and relatives knew, Connie had never been in a serious romantic relationship,  so they found it odd that she was so upset by the possibility of never being able to have children.  Loved ones speculated that she may have been a lesbian, though she was notoriously private about  her personal life. In the months before she went missing, she began leaving stra

nge letters saying  she planned to start her life over in a new place, under a new name. This was obviously shocking  news, but things got worse when Connie sat down with her brother and informed him of how  to go about collecting her life insurance. She didn’t provide a clear reason as to why and  despite his obvious concern Phillip agreed to her requests and later did as he was told. In  August 1974, then 50-year-old Connie packed her things and left her Michigan home without  saying a word to

anyone but leaving letters behind saying that she planned to start a  new life under a new name and requested that her family not come and look for her. She was  never seen or heard from by her family again. A brief search was conducted, and news coverage  aired but there were still no leads as to what happened to the former musician. After 10 years  of grieving, Connie’s family decided to hire a private investigator, who informed them that,  even if he could track her down, it was her right as

an adult to disappear and start a new life  elsewhere. Discouraged, they agreed that Connie could make that decision, though they found the  truth difficult to bear. So now, 48 years later, there are still no answers of what happened  to the mysterious singer-songwriter, whose life story has continued to fuel the curiosity  around her music in the years since she left home. Number 9. Scott Enyart This case is a little different from  the others because it does not involve a missing person. Inst

ead, while it is  yet another story shrouded in mystery, what’s missing here are photographs and documents  with significant historical value. On June 4th, 1968, Robert F. Kennedy won the California  and South Dakota presidential primaries. He and his team celebrated the victory and Kennedy  addressed his supporters just a few hours after the results came in. The speech took place in  the ballroom of a well-known and prestigious hotel in Los Angeles called The Ambassador  Hotel. The ballroom was

filled with cheers and applause as Kennedy took the stage. After  finishing his speech, Kennedy exited the stage and walked toward the ballroom kitchens. He was  followed by press and fans as he passed through, shaking hands and sharing hugs with the staff.  Apparently, Kennedy was given a false tip that the kitchen would lead him to the private press room.  Despite a bodyguard coming in and warning him that he was headed in the wrong direction, Kennedy  pressed on. In the midst of the raucous

crowd, a young man that would later be identified as  Sirhan Sirhan, a 24-year-old Palestinian national, pulled out a … and began … at Kennedy. The  … nailed his target and Kennedy was struck 3 times by the …. Additionally, numerous members  of the crowd were also injured in the … before the … was disarmed. Kennedy died in the hospital  on June 6th as a result of his injuries. Now, this case has always been controversial,  and many believe that it was an inside job constructed by the government

or those in  power that opposed Kennedy’s political stances, as opposed to a lone … with radical beliefs. The  story becomes even more mysterious when we take a look at a man named Scott Enyart. Enyart was only  15 years old when he visited the ballroom with a press pass from his high school newspaper  to witness and photograph Kennedy’s speech. He was a member of the crowd when shots were  fired, and he managed to snap multiple images of the chaos that ensued. According to Enyart’s  statements,

he was chased down by police later that night and brought in for questioning.  Investigators dismissed him after a short and seemingly meaningless interrogation. Although  Enyart was released, he was told that his 3 rolls of film and the negative prints were considered  evidence in the case and could not be released back to him. He was informed that he could regain  access to the images after 20 years. When that time came, in 1988, Enyart reached out to  the LAPD in search of this film. However

, he was told that the images had been destroyed.  Despite this, after a few months he was contacted, and investigators provided him with a proof sheet  of the negatives. Upon investigation, though, Enyart realized he only had a few negatives,  despite having taken three rolls of film. He also noticed that the images were printed from a  different type of film than he used, leading him to believe that the negatives were fake. Enyart  refused to accept that these were the photographs he had taken

and spent the next several years  pressing the LAPD for more information. Finally, in 1996, a courier was hired to take the negatives  that Enyard had been provided from San Francisco to Los Angeles. According to reports, the courier  had his tires slashed by an unknown person. He drove several more miles before he noticed the  issue and pulled over at a rest station. While he was at the service station, the briefcase  containing the documents was allegedly stolen and has never been uncovered.

Many believe that  the images Enyart took may have held details that were never released to the public that might have  given more clues about what exactly happened the night that Robert Kennedy was assassinated.  They have been a source of much debate when it comes to questions about and theories around  what actually happened on that fateful night. Number 8. Washoe County John Doe According to the National Missing and Unidentified  Persons System, “Each year an estimated 4,400 unidentified bod

ies are found and about 1,000  of them remain John or Jane Doe cases after a year passes”. Cases like these are especially  heart-wrenching because it seems as though some of these people were completely alone in life  with no family or friends coming to look for them. Similarly, many of these cases could be  easily solved if even the smallest amount of additional information could be uncovered. It’s  hard to track the timeline of events leading up to a person's demise when they have no witnesse

s  to come forward on their behalf. That is exactly what the case with the Washoe County John  Doe, who was found in 2021. To this day, no one has come forward to identify or claim the  unknown man. But that’s not the only issue in this specific case. Many strange details have led to it  being considered a very mysterious and unsolvable situation. In the early hours of March 27th, 2021,  witnesses entered the public bathroom at Dick Taylor Memorial Park in Reno, Nevada and stumbled  across a hor

rific discovery. An elderly man was found … in the stall. Police were immediately  contacted and the case was opened. The man had no form of identification on him or any belongings  with him. Even his pockets were completely empty. Some investigators speculated that the man may  have been homeless, given his messy attire and unkempt hair. Others believe that he was a local  that lived near the park. If this was true, though, someone would have likely recognized the  man if he was frequently in t

he area. Given the state in which the man was found, and the results  of his autopsy, the manner of death appeared to be a cut and dry case of …. There was one key  detail that made that assumption questionable, however. A walker was found at the crime scene.  Obviously, use of a walker implies that the person had trouble with his mobility. This would make  it very difficult for the man to have secured the rope and maneuvered into position to take his  own life. This made some people interested

in the case suspect the possibility of foul play.  Sadly, whether this case is a … or homicide, the investigation has been unable to move forward.  No witnesses ever reported seeing the man before he was found and, to this day, he has not been  identified and no relatives have come forward to claim the body. If you have any information  on this case or believe you may know the man, you are urged to contact the National Missing  and Unidentified Persons System with the code 2021-01480 OR Washoe C

ounty Regional  Medical Examiner's Office at (775) 785-6114. Number 7. Marisa Hernandez Taking another person's life is evil on its own,  but there is a special place in hades for those that harm children, the elderly, and the disabled.  It’s heartbreaking that they don’t have the same physical strength or mental capability as others  in order to defend themselves and are seen as easy targets by those with malicious intent. Marisa  Hernandez was 37 years old when she lost her life. As a result o

f an accident when she was  a young child, she was intellectually disabled and never progressed mentally past the age of 5.  Although she did have to be cared for and watched out for by family, she was also given freedom  as long as she stayed within the immediate area of her home in the small town of San Juan de la  Rambla in Spain. On September 9th, 2003, Hernandez traveled within the neighborhood to her sister  Dolores’ home. Dolores gave her a few dollars and Hernandez headed out to the cent

er town where she  had plans to visit a store that she often shopped at. Witnesses that knew the girl personally  reported seeing her sitting outside the shop, enjoying her drink for about an hour before  heading back in the direction of her home. No one ever saw Hernandez alive again. Several  hours passed and her family began to worry. They searched the small town and recruited the help of  other villagers to help find the disabled woman. The hunt carried on for 2 days but came to a  tragic co

nclusion when the victim’s body was found in the sea near the coast. It was immediately  clear that the remains belonged to Hernandez. At first, everyone assumed that the tragedy was  the result of a fall. Perhaps the woman walked too close to the sea along the rocky shore or atop a  short cliff overlooking the water. While this was sad enough, things only got worse after an autopsy  revealed a series of startling facts. According to the report, Hernandez had been … by a car or other  heavy vehi

cle. Reports showed that Hernandez’s jaw and neck had been …. Her body was covered in  …, and she had been …. The rushing water of the sea washed away all signs of DNA belonging  to her attackers. In the years that followed, many protests were held in the town as its  citizens believed not enough was being done to solve the case and bring the criminals to  justice. Since the area was so small, the entire neighborhood knew one another personally, meaning  that the evildoers behind the attack were

still living amongst them. Many women in the area argued  that they didn’t feel safe with this fact. After all this time, investigators have not come to any  satisfactory conclusions. The case remains open but is not being actively investigated  as no new evidence has been uncovered. Number 6. Tehuel De La Torre Although this case is technically closed and 2  people have been charged, this victim’s family insists that the story isn’t over and that the  whereabouts or fate of their loved one is

still a mystery that needs to be solved. It’s a case  with many layers and has gained the attention of community activists. Tehuel De La Torre was only  21 years old when he went missing in San Vicente, Buenos Aires, Argentina over 2 years ago. De  La Torre was a transgender man who had recently started his transition only a few months prior  to his vanishing. De La Torre was dealing with financial troubles and was desperate to find  work. Sadly, because of his gender identity, he was rejected f

rom nearly every job he applied  to. In fact, one potential manager told him that he would regret transitioning and eventually get  pregnant which would lead to him missing work. These details are important to the case because  many believe that his disappearance may have been linked to a hate crime related to his gender  identity. His disappearance ignited activism and protests in Buenos Aires. On March 11th, 2021,  De La Torre went to follow up on a job offer he was given by Luis Alberto Ramos

. The job was to  work as a waiter at a birthday party, which seemed innocent and simple enough. De La Torre gave very  few details to his family about 37-year-old Ramos and the position, so the family had no idea  what their loved one was walking into. De La Torre headed to Ramos’s home about 15 minutes away  from his own, but never arrived back home. About 2 days later his family reported him missing. A  geolocation search was conducted on De La Torre’s cell phone, which tracked him to Ramos’

home.  Ramos reported that he had met with the victim, but he only stayed around for about an hour before  safely heading home. Further investigation showed that the last signal emitted from the phone  was at Ramos’ home around 11 p.m. that night; several hours after De La Torre had allegedly  left. On March 16th, local police conducted a raid on Ramos’ home in search of De La  Torre and any evidence leading to him. His cellphone and jacket were found buried behind  the home and they had both be

en badly burnt. Investigators pointed out that this was clearly  an attempt to destroy evidence. A technical team was able to access the contents of the phone and  found a photo that De La Torre took of himself, Ramos and 46-year-old Oscar Alfredo Montes on the  day of his disappearance. The 2 men were arrested in relation to De La Torre’s disappearance  and for falsifying information because of their changing stories when questioned. After  being charged, a further search was conducted, and the

victim's blood was found on the walls  inside the Ramos’ home. The search also focused on trying to find the possible remains of De La Torre  but all efforts to this end were fruitless. Ramos and Montes were eventually charged with aggravated  homicide due to hatred of gender identity, a hate crime. The men are awaiting trial. To this  day, there have been no updates in the case. IF you have any information on this case you are  urged to contact the Ministry of Security. Number 5. The Hinterkai

feck Incident In late March 1922, an entire family and their  live-in maid was … by unknown perpetrators that trespassed onto their farm near Munich, Germany.  The small village in Bavaria only consisted of a few residences and people had to travel a decent  distance to reach town. The community was very tight knit, and neighbors tended to look out  for one another. This close relationship is what ultimately led to the gruesome discovery in  the Gruber home on the Hinterkaifeck homestead. Althou

gh this is not a paranormal case, a strange  series of events played out in the months leading up to the horrific incident which led the family  and their former maid to believe that the home was haunted. They reported hearing random footsteps  in the attic and found human footprints leading from the woods to their barn. The family inspected  the area on each occasion but were unable to find a logical answer to what was playing out. In  retrospect, people with interest in the case have assumed t

hat these happenings were caused  by a very skilled and stealthy intruder that began living on the homestead without the family’s  knowledge. Eventually, their former maid grew so scared of the events that she quit her job at the  homestead and quickly moved away. On March 30th, 1922, the family’s new maid, Maria Baumgartner  arrived at her new home with her sister. They visited with the Gruber family as Maria settled  in. Her sister later reported that the family seemed happy and, more importan

tly, safe.  Maria’s sister was likely the last person to see the family alive before the attacks. Four days  passed and the family's neighbor grew concerned as he noticed that the Gruber family’s mail had been  piling up. It was also noted that the children of the family had missed several days of school.  Additionally, coffee salesmen and a repairman visited the home in the days between the incident  and the discovery of the bodies, but there was no response when they knocked on the door. Final

ly,  on April 4th, that same neighbor who had first expressed concern, Lorenz Schlittenbauer gathered  2 other men from the area to visit the family home with him. They made a terrible discovery when  they entered the barn. 4 members of the family had been attacked. The scene of carnage resembled  a horror movie and caused the men to reportedly get sick from just the sight of it. The group  carried on into the home, however, and found that the new maid and the family's youngest  member had been

attacked in a similar manner. The neighbors quickly contacted police and an  investigation began. They were able to identify the weapon that was used – a mattock, which is a  tool similar to an axe – but failed to actually find it at the scene. They also realized that  whoever was responsible for the crimes seemed to have continued to live at the homestead in the  days between the murders and the discovery of the crime scene. After investigators left the scene,  people in town started hearing ru

mors about what had happened on the farm. Some began to whisper  that the house was actually haunted because of the terrible crime that had taken place there.  Because of this, thrill seekers snuck their way onto the farm to catch a glimpse of some of the  evidence left behind of the … slayings. This caused immediate problems for the investigation as  evidence was tampered with and even destroyed by the visitors. Over the years, nearly 100 suspects  from all over the country were interrogated an

d searched. However, none of these leads proved  to be fruitful and the perpetrators were able to live the rest of their lives without  their crime ever having been discovered. Number 4. Houston John Doe This story follows the case of a John Doe  from Houston, Texas, who was discovered in an abandoned bus. Although every case  involving a death is tragic in its own way, it remains a particularly sad thought to know that  someone might be out there looking for their lost loved one and not yet kno

w they have been found  deceased. This John Doe is like many others, but one detail that stands out is the victim’s  young age. Autopsy reports estimated that the victim was between 14 to 19 years old. It’s  not entirely uncommon for Doe cases to involve a younger person, but it is rarer than finding  unidentified adults. Considering his age, one would assume that someone would be searching for  this person, even a parent who is missing their child, yet no one has come forward to identify  this

Doe. Clearly, the victim either didn’t have a strong relationship with their family –  or perhaps the details simply haven’t reached the right people. On January 10th, 2022, unknown  witnesses stumbled across a heartbreaking sight when they entered an abandoned city bus in the  parking lot of a business building off San Felipe Street in Houston, Texas. They found a young man …  from the ceiling of the bus, over a seat. Although he was unresponsive, it was discovered that he  was still alive when

officers arrived and EMT workers removed the victim from the scene. He was  rushed to a nearby hospital, but the damage had already been done and a team of doctors were  unable to bring Doe back to consciousness. He faded from life in a cold hospital bed just  a half hour after arriving at the hospital. An investigation was opened, and its first  priority was to identify the young man, in hopes of finding his family or anyone that  knew him. The Doe had absolutely no forms of identification on

him. In fact, he didn’t have  any possessions with him at all. He didn’t have a phone or wallet on him. The lack of belongings  might initially suggest that Doe was homeless, but he was dressed in fashionable, well-fitting  clothes and it appeared that he had just gotten a fresh haircut, perhaps on that very same day.  The scene of the incident, as well as the autopsy reports, confirmed the obvious; that this John Doe  had taken his life by way of …. However, there was other evidence found that

made investigators  think there was more to the story. Apparently, he was covered in small … along his arms and  legs, and he had a pulled muscle in his right knee. It was estimated that the minor injuries  were acquired about 2 days before the young man was found. They weren’t serious but they suggested  that Doe may have been in a fight shortly before his demise. Another strange detail was Doe’s  recent haircut, which included star shapes shaved on the sides of his head. It seems like  a barbe

r might remember giving a customer such a specific cut and would share the interaction with  police. Of course, there are many reasons someone might not come forward in a case like this. As of  right now, the poor young man's true name is still unknown, the questions around his death remain  unanswered. For any information on the case, or to learn more details about it, you can contact  the Houston Police Department at 832-707-1284 Number 3. Malén Ortiz 10 years ago, a young 15-year-old girl  my

steriously vanished from her hometown in Calvia, Spain. Malen Ortiz was described as a very bright  and outgoing young lady. Friends and family said that everywhere she went, she made new friends.  She was also a talented skateboarder and spent a lot of her spare time hanging with friends at a  skate park in her neighborhood. It came to light during the investigation into her disappearance  that Ortiz didn’t have a very healthy family system. She lived with her father and brother in  a small hom

e and allegedly had some conflicts with her father. It was reported that they argued  often. A few years before she disappeared, her father found her in bed with a boy her  age. Hospital records showed that around that same time, Ortiz was admitted for care  after being badly …. Although there was no follow-up to this incident, staff found it  obvious that the young girl's father was at fault for the abuse. Ortiz was also reportedly  experimenting with drugs around this time. Her father had a cr

iminal history and was at  one point sentenced to 6 years in prison, for attacking his ex-girlfriend. Ortiz’s parents  had divorced when she was young, and she did not have regular contact with her mother. Ortiz and  her brother were allegedly forced to live on the streets for a short period of time before they  were welcomed into their father’s home. After her disappearance, investigators began to question  if Ortiz had vanished of her own free will to get away from her bad situation. On the da

y of her  disappearance, December 2nd, 2013, Ortiz finished up a regular day of school and caught a bus to  head home. She realized on the way there that she had misplaced her house key. She decided to take  a different route and go to her boyfriend's house, who lived in another small town just a few miles  away. After exiting her last bus, she made several phone calls to her father to let him know where  she was going. She wasn’t able to get ahold of him and left a message at his office. She th

en called  her boyfriend and asked if she could come over, which he agreed to. He later told police that was  the last time he spoke to her. CCTV footage found that Ortiz stopped at a gas station. Oddly  enough, about 20 minutes after her visit, her brother was also seen on CCTV at the  same store. Their paths never crossed, though. Witnesses eventually reported seeing the  girl riding her skateboard near the busy street in the direction of a theme park. This was the last  time she was ever seen

. Ortiz’s boyfriend Daniel was the first person to raise the alarm about her  disappearance when she never arrived at his house. However, it took investigators 48 hours to begin  looking for Ortiz; they initially believed that her disappearance was the simple case of a runaway  teenager. The search team contacted everyone that Ortiz was close to, but no one had seen or heard  from her. They also searched the small town, the towns surrounding it, nearby wilderness and  park areas, public spaces a

nd even the sea but found absolutely no trace of Ortiz; Her father  offered an 80,000-dollar reward for her return, but the case still went cold and the search  was eventually called off. In early 2023, a tip came in that led investigators to a potential  suspect. José Ruiz was 74 years old when Ortiz vanished. It was discovered that months prior to  her disappearance, Ruiz was found trying to lure 2 teenage girls into his home under the guise of  wanting to photograph girls on skateboards. The

girls fled when a woman approached and interrupted  the conversation. Later, inappropriate pictures of minors were found on his old home computer but  there are no records of him ever being charged. Shortly before his death he was staying in a  mental health facility. Staff members at the hospital reported that Ruiz claimed to know what  happened to Ortiz, but he passed before the truth could come out. His home was searched but no  evidence was found that pointed towards Ortiz’s disappearance. T

o this day, the young girl's  whereabouts and eventual fate are still unknown. Number 2. Jessica Chambers To this day, 9 years after a young woman was killed, her family is still holding out hope  that justice will be served. Jessica Chambers, from Courtland, Mississippi was only 19 years  old when her life was stolen from her. It’s hard enough to lose a loved one at all, but knowing the  details of Chambers suffering in her last hours of life was more than enough to shatter the hearts  of those

that knew and loved her. Chambers had a history of drug use and around the age of 17 she  began spending time with gang members. She met her then-boyfriend, who was about 10 years older than  her, hanging out with this crowd. That same year, her brother lost his life in a car accident,  which caused her to spiral more deeply into self-destructive behaviors. As far as her loved  ones knew, she was clean off the drugs and at the time of her disappearance. Her boyfriend was also  serving a prison

sentence when she disappeared. At the age of 19, the former cheerleader and social  butterfly was in recovery, working an honest job, and trying to build towards her future.  Although her family was against the idea, she still hung out with friends from her drug use  days and she remained committed to her boyfriend, patiently awaiting his release from prison.  Because of the crowd Chambers spent her time with, she often met questionable people. After  her death, investigators started to build a

timeline of Chambers’ whereabouts throughout  the day before her disappearance and death. In an official statement, Chambers' mother  shared that on Saturday, December 6th, 2014, her daughter woke up earlier than usual to meet  friends for a day of fun. She was gone for several hours and when she came home, she seemed “stressed  and tired” according to her mother. Chambers headed directly to her room where she laid down  for a nap. She was apparently woken up by a call from her friends that even

ing at 5pm, after  which she headed out without telling her mom her plans. This behavior was not unusual for Chambers  and, considering the fact she was a legal adult, her mom felt she couldn’t do much about it. CCTV  was later found that showed Chambers at a gas station. It seemed that she was alone at this  time but it’s difficult to confirm because the camera angle made it impossible to see whether or  not someone was in the car with her. It was later revealed, thanks to Chambers’ cell phone’

s GPS  data, that she arrived back in Courtland around 6pm. At that time, she called her mom to say she  would be home soon. She seemed to be uncomfortable and uninterested in talking very much, though.  Some time passed as Chambers' mother awaited the arrival of her daughter. Sadly, the young  girl never made it home. Around 8 p.m. police were called to the scene where a car had run off  the road and was engulfed in flames. The driver, Chambers, had managed to escape the vehicle  but she was ba

dly burnt and had collapsed to the ground. In her last words, she said something  that officers said sounded like “Eric” or “Derek”, but because of the extent of her injuries, it  was very hard to distinguish her words. Though this was initially seen as vital evidence  in whatever had taken place that night, nothing ever came of it. Chambers passed after  arriving at the hospital. Autopsy reports and crime scene evidence showed that the victim  had been attacked and gasoline had been … her throa

t and sprayed all over her car before it  was set ablaze. Investigators eventually found, through her cell phone, that the victim had  most recently been in contact with a drug dealer named Quinton Tellis. In fact, GPS data  showed they had been at the same location for a long period of time the night Chambers died.  This man was brought in as a suspect and was charged with causing the woman’s death during 2  different trials. However, a lack of evidence and destroyed cell phone data caused both

attempts  to be ruled as a mistrial. Quinton was freed from the spotlight as the suspect, but Chambers’  family still believes he was responsible for the attack against their loved one and still hold  out hope that justice may one day be served. Number 1. Karen Denise Wells Nearly 3 decades ago, in April 1994, a woman  named Karen Denise Wells set out on a solo road trip to visit a childhood friend that apparently  needed help and support during a trying time in her life. Wells was 24 years old

at the time  and was a single mother of a 14-month-old son. Her family described her as hardworking and a  wonderful mother. Despite setbacks she had faced, she always made sure she had a stable income  and that her son was living a healthy and happy life. Apparently, Wells had worked several jobs in  which she had to travel long distances. So, when she informed her mother that she was embarking  on a road trip from Haskell, Oklahoma to Bergen, New Jersey there was no doubt that she was ready 

for the road. Still, a trip that long while traveling alone was understandably a potential  cause for concern, so her family requested that she keep in touch as much as she could. Over the  years, the details have shifted about Wells’ route to her destination. Apparently, she got lost on  the highway at one point and pulled off the main road. Although many small towns were easily  accessible near the highways, Wells decided to travel a bit further from her original route  for reasons unknown. Sh

e ended up in Carlisle, Pennsylvania and checked into the Pike Hotel.  From there, Wells called the friend she was heading to see around 7 p.m. She informed her  friend, Melissa Shephard, that she was exhausted after traveling for about 48 hours with no sleep.  All she wanted to do was cruise in her rental car to get some fast food before she would return to  her room. Shepherd offered to travel the few extra hours to meet Wells. She estimated that she would  arrive around midnight. Shortly afte

r this call, Wells visited the front desk for directions to  McDonalds. She then left and was never seen again. Around midnight that night, just as she predicted,  Shepherd arrived at the hotel. She couldn’t get Wells to open her hotel room door or answer the  phone. She searched the parking lot and when she didn’t see Wells’ rental car, she requested that  the front desk let her into the room. Once inside, Shepherd found that all of Wells' belongings  were stacked up in a corner and the bed had

not been even slightly used. She immediately reported  Wells as missing and a search was conducted the next day. Just a few hours into the investigation,  someone reported a car abandoned along the highway near the hotel. It turned out to be Wells'  vehicle. Both doors were open, and the car was covered in mud and scratches, despite being  nowhere near the wilderness or dirt paths. The car had run out of gas. Food was thrown all over  the inside, but it’s unclear if this had taken place the nig

ht of Wells’ disappearance. A small  amount of marijuana was found on the floorboards and officers suspected that other drugs may have  been used inside the vehicle. Various fingerprints were discovered but could not be matched to  anyone. A massive search was opened but no further evidence was ever found. The search was  eventually called off, but the case was left open. Later that same year, around the holidays, the  wife of Wells’ former boyfriend reported to police that she received a call f

rom Wells in which she  informed her that she moved out of state, got married and was never returning home. No record  of this phone call could be found. Investigators believe it was a false tip used to help the former  boyfriend move on and stop grieving. Since then, nothing new has been uncovered in relation to  this case, and Wells’ whereabouts remain unknown.
