6 Disturbing Unsolved Cases With Video Footage

on the 11th of May 2011 6-year-old Timothy pittson left his school in Aurora Illinois with his mother Amy Amy had shown up at the school unexpectedly telling the staff that there was a family emergency Timothy's teachers were caught off guard and something seemed to be severely off with Amy but they let Timothy go with his mother figuring everything was going to be okay these are some of the most disturbing unsolved cases with video footage as they drove away from the school Timothy was at excited he loved spending time with his mother and they were heading out on what seemed like a special Adventure Amy took him to a zoo then a water park it felt like a mini holiday and a chance to have some fun together just the two of them they checked into hotels along the way and at each stop Amy made sure they had fun still to Timothy it was probably just an exciting trip with his mom but there were signs that things weren't as simple as they seemed Amy wasn't just taking a break she was avoiding contact with Timothy's dad and other family members she would called them every now and again always sounding upbeat but she never let Timothy talk to anyone she'd say he's fine he's having fun but never gave him the phone when she called her husband she told him not to worry and that they were fine in a very cheerful tone but still the phone calls left the family uneasy why wouldn't she let Timothy speak the two kept moving from place to place they stayed in a couple different hotels moving further and further away from home Amy was seen on hotel security cameras and people who saw them said that Timothy looked happy completely unaware that anything was about to happen at one point Amy visited a hardware store where she bought a few items that didn't seem to fit with a road trip she purchased small things like a notebook and a pen things that just fell out of place Amy seemed to be storing like she was trying to gain time but no one knew for what the choices she made only added to the mystery every call to her family sended upbeat yet the details made them anxious why did she seem so cheerful but refused to explain what she was doing or let Timothy talk Amy also checked into a hotel without Timothy for one night a strange move that raised even more questions why would she go to a hotel by herself when Timothy was still with her and where did she leave the 6-year-old these unexplained decisions kept building up leaving her family more worried with each passing day when Amy made her last call to her mother-in-law she sounded calm she told her that everything was going smoothly and she shouldn't worry about anything but this time her mother-in-law pressed her asking directly to speak with Timothy though once again Amy refused this time her excuse was simple he's busy playing her voice was light-hearted but there was something strange about her tone as if she was masking something deeper on the 14th of May 2011 Amy checked into a motel in Rockford Illinois by then she and Timothy had been on the road for 3 days that evening Amy was spotted on security cameras one last time and she entered her room alone Timothy was nowhere to be seene the next day Motel SAR found Amy dead in her room as she had ended her own life it was a devastating Discovery but the shock didn't end there next to Amy's body police found a note she had written a message that only deepened the mystery in her handwriting Amy explained that Timothy was safe but added something haunting you will never find him but there was something else in the note that left Timothy's family and investigators terrified Amy also wrote Timothy is safe with people who will care for him this message seemed to suggest that she had left Timothy with someone she trusted someone who could take care of him but who were these people and did they even exist the note left Timothy's family in disbelief Amy had assured everyone that they were fine but now she was gone and Timothy was nowhere to be found as the police come through her car they discovered traces of Blood on the seat they immediately tested it and it was confirmed to be Timothy's this finding raised new fears and new questions as everyone was wondering what had really happened to Timothy was he in danger or had he somehow been left in a safe place as Amy claimed investigators were caught between two possibilities either Amy had hidden him somewhere to protect him or something much darker had occurred right after Amy's death police launched an extensive search for Timothy they retraced every step of her journey hoping to uncover any clue that might lead them to him authorities examined Maps reviewed Amy's GPS records and Revisited every hotel and location she and Timothy had visited during those final days together and they poured over surveillance footage hoping to spot a moment a clue anything that could reveal where Amy had taken Timothy as the search continued investigators found more strange details Amy's car showed signs that had been through dirt roads and grassy areas it was clear that she had probably been in remote locations likely far away from any city or town but where exactly search teams comb through forests parks and even isolated areas that match the clues left by the dirt and plants found on her car yet despite these massive efforts Timothy was nowhere to be seen meanwhile the story of Timothy's disappearance began to spread across the country news stations picked up the story broadcasting pictures of Timothy with his bright smile and innocent eyes his face appeared everywhere on television in newspapers and on missing person posters the public was captivated by the mystery and as more details emerged about Amy's final days people began forming their own theories Timothy's Father Jim pittson became the face of the family's heartbreak and hope appearing on news interviews he spoke openly about the pain of losing Amy and the agony of not knowing where his son was though he still believed as Amy's note had said that Timothy truly was safe somewhere the general reaction to the case was mixed some people sympathized with Jim and clung onto the idea that Timothy was still alive Somewhere Out There They rallied for his return joining search party myties volunteering and spreading Timothy's story online others however began to question Amy's actions and whether her words and the note could be trusted they speculated that her final message was meant to mislead and some even believed that Timothy might never be found because he was no longer alive then in 2019 8 years after Timothy's disappearance the case took a very unexpected twist a young man appeared claiming to be Timothy pittson saying he had finally escaped his captors of after years of being held against his will for a brief moment hope flooded back Jim and his family were overwhelmed with emotion believing that Timothy might be finally returning home but that hope was crushed just as quickly as it appeared as DNA tests revealed that the young man was not Timothy he was in fact someone else entirely a random troubled person looking for a way out of their own life despite the disappointment Timothy's case remains active law enforcement has refused to close it and his family holds on to the hope that he's still out there Timothy's disappearance has become one of America's most famous and confusing Mysteries some still theorize that Amy may have had help that maybe someone else was involved in Timothy's disappearance which could help to explain the times that Amy was alone checking into the hotels the idea is based partly on her note where she mentioned Timothy being with people who would care for him though to this day there's no evidence supporting this Theory but the idea that Timothy might still be out there hidden with someone who knows the truth keeps the mystery alive you can't give up hope as soon as you give up hope then then what should I do well I declare him dead he's probably in the middle of nowhere being homeschooled someplace you know just away from the media and TVs and new technology it was still dark in Midlothian Texas on the morning of the 18th of April 2016 for 45-year-old Terry Missy bevers a fitness instructor and mother of three this was a normal time to be up and ready she was dedicated to her Fitness classes regularly teaching early morning sessions she had a class scheduled at Creekside Church of Christ that day and she was known for showing up early to set everything up around 4:20 a. m. Missy entered the church her headlights briefly Illuminating the parking lot before going dark with her workout equipment and supplies in hand she made her way inside likely unaware of the danger that awaited her which she didn't know was that someone had already broken in hours before Missy arrived Creekside Church had been empty but by 3:50 a.

m. a figure had appeared inside roaming the halls in a way that would later raise unsettling questions security cameras captured the footage of this person someone whose actions seemed more bizarre than purposeful the Intruder was dressed head to toe and SWAT style tactical gear including a helmet vest and gloves all of which concealed their identity obviously this wasn't ordinary clothing especially for someone committing a crime and it was something that law enforcement would later struggle to to explain as I couldn't figure out if it was merely just a disguise or some sort of message as the figure moved through the church their actions were equally strange instead of heading directly to an office a safe or any obvious Target the person walked around opening doors checking rooms and tapping on walls their Pace was calm almost wondering as if they had all the Time in the World As It didn't seem like they were searching for anything specific instead it felt as though they were just waiting the security footage further showed this person and pausing here and there standing silently before moving again it was this slow almost detached movement that would later haunt viewers and in one of the stranger aspects caught on the camera was the fact that the figure seemed to even stagger slightly as they walked very clumsily as it looks as if they could be unfamiliar with the layout of the church or they're in some kind of days at around 4:20 a. m.

just as Missy entered the church the camera footage ended to this day it's unclear exactly how much time passed between Missy walking into the church and her encounter with the Intruder but what is known is that Missy was soon to be found dead her body discovered by her students who arrived for class a short time later the scene that they would walk into was shocking Missy had suffered multiple injuries that was believed to have been inflicted by a hammer that was left near her body after her death the investigators turned to Creekside Church's security cameras hoping they held the clues that could identify Miss's killer what detectives found is that the footage raised far more questions than it answered like as the figure moved throughout the church they would also periodically break certain objects and shatter glass leading the police to believe that the person was trying to Stage some sort of robbery gone wrong though that theory would make little sense when you consider that the robber neglected to take Missy's purse or iPad also why had they chosen a church of all places and what was the motive if this was a robbery it was certainly an unusual one after the discovery of Miss's body at Creek Church medloan police faced a daunting task because there was just so little to go off the detectives involved started watching the footage over and over again to find the tiniest of details which then made them notice the killer strange gate or walking style as they seem to move with a sight clumsiness as if they were wearing shoes too big or simply had a very distinct walk internet detectives then started comparing the war to those around Missy and if you line up the videos of the SWAT Gear in with those of her father they do look eerily similar that this evidence if you can even call it that is extremely weak and it's a symptom of the case being so mysterious and confusing the police themselves initially thought that the Intruder could be female as the wart looked as if the person was wearing clothes too big or too heavy though again this Theory LED nowhere as detectives continued analyzing the footage they turned to Miss's family friends and acquaintances hoping to uncover any motive or clue that could Point them towards a suspect they asked about Miss's relationships any recent conflicts and her schedule searching for anything that might explain why someone would Target her Missy's husband Brandon her three children and her close friends all cooperated fully sharing information about Miss's life and any challenges she might have been facing according to her loved ones Missy was well-liked devoted to her family and passionate about her work as a fitness instructor however some friends mentioned that Missy had recently expressed concerns about strange social media message she had received these messages on LinkedIn reportedly came from an unknown maale and were described as creepy and strange the police were track down this person of interest though It ultimately turned out to be a dead end detectives documented everything they had learned yet no single piece of information pointed directly towards a clear suspect to this day Terry Missy B's case has gone completely unsolved Alysa turny was a typical 17-year-old High School junor living in Phoenix Arizona with her father Michael turny and half Sister Sarah like most teenagers she had a part-time job friends and dreams for the future but on the 17th of May 2001 everything changed that was the day Alyssa vanished Without a Trace and the Mystery of her disappearance would leave her family and Community searching for answers for years to come it was the last day of school and Alysa was looking forward to summer break she and her friends had made plans to celebrate and it seemed like a typical start to what should have been a Carefree summer but what happened that afternoon has been clouded by strange details some coming from her father Michael himself who was the last person to ever see her according to Michael he picked up Alyssa from Paradise Valley High School around lunchtime he claimed that they went out for a bite to eat at a local restaurant and then once they returned home they had a heated argument Michael would later tell the police that Alyssa stormed off shouting that she was leaving and heading to California to live with her biological Aunt to back this story Michael claimed he found a note from Alysa in her room saying basically exactly what she was saying in the argument that she was running away the note written in Alyssa's handwriting didn't sit right with Alyssa's friends and family for one none of her belongings like her phone or purse were missing if Alyssa truly intended to run away why would she leave behind everything she'd need and why didn't she tell any of her close friends about her plans initially Authority treated Alyssa as a runaway believing that she might have truly gone to California or was still somewhere nearby in the Phoenix area however doubt started to arise when the $1,800 in her bank account was left completely untouched and she failed to contact any of her friends and family as police started to investigate further they discovered something odd Michael had been tracking Alyssa's movements and ways that went beyond what many see as protective in fact he seemed to have an unusual level of control over her life life at her job Alyssa's co-workers notice Michael would occasionally appear unannounced sometimes with a video camera in one instance he secretly recorded his daughter's interactions with customers co-workers and Friends claiming it was to ensure her safety but there was no clear reason why he would have to monitor her like this these recordings weren't limited to her workplace either Michael had even installed surveillance devices around their home and one of the most disturbing details was the discovery of hidden recording devices in the family's living room it's unknown how often Michael reviewed these recordings but it was clear he had an intense need to keep tabs on Alyssa's actions and conversations this kind of behavior extended into nearly every aspect of Alyssa's life Michael kept strict control over her social life reportedly screening her phone calls and limiting her time with friends Alyssa's friends record that Michael seemed overly protective and suspicious making her feel uncomfortable and trapped they reported that Alyssa felt she couldn't do anything without her father knowing and over time she grew increasingly resentful of his intense surveillance for any teenager this level of control would have felt suffocating though it gets much much more worrying when the police were taking statements from those who knew Alysa to try and find any lead to revolving her disappearance one of her close friends her boyfriend and her stepbrother all independently shared stories that they had heard from Alysa all involving Michael attempting to illegally and inappropriately touch his daughter in in one instance Alyssa's stepbrother said that during a car ride Michael scooted closer to Alyssa and then tried to touch her in ways that would certainly get him arrested if anyone had reported it speaking of which Michael himself once called Child Protective Services to warn them that if Alyssa was to ever call them to accuse him of touching her strangely that she's a liar a very normal thing for a loving father to do then somehow the strangeness continues Michael was fixated on a very particular incident involving Alyssa he frequently brought up the claim that years prior Alysa had beened by a teacher Michael often told people he believed this incident deeply affected her yet there was no concrete evidence of it ever happening interestingly Michael's account of the incident would often shift making it hard for investigators to verify Alyssa's close friends noted that she had never mentioned this supposed assault and many doubted it ever happened Michael however used this story as a justification for his extreme protective insisting that he was simply trying to Shield Alyssa from further harm then there was the matter of Alyssa's Aunt when the police followed up they learned that Alyssa's aunt in California hadn't heard from her and wasn't expecting her to come this detail obviously threw more doubt on Michael's story if Alysa had indeed intended to run away why hadn't she contacted the aunt that she was supposedly going to stay with to the police Alyssa's disappearance started looking less like a runaway case and more like a mystery but without clear evidence of any sort of crime taking place the case stoed one of the most unsettling details about Alyssa's case is that her disappearance was marked by a quiet inaction from Michael himself normally parents of missing children are frantic calling every friend and visiting every place they can think of to find their child but Michael didn't seem to do any of that instead he waited 5 days after Alyssa vanished to report her missing for many this delayed response obviously raised suspicion when asked why he waited Michael claimed that he thought Alyssa would return home when she had pulled off insisting that she was just a rebellious teen who had Run Away In the Heat of the Moment after years of frustration doubt and silence one voice would rise above the uncertainty surrounding Alyssa turn's disappearance her younger sister Sarah driven by a desire to know what really happened Sarah attorney became the leading force behind Alyssa's case refusing to let her sister's story fade for years she struggled to understand what had happened and to reconcile the loss of her sister with the vague and suspicous stories told by her stepdad Michael as Sarah Grew Older her curiosity deepened she began questioning the details surrounding Alyssa's disappearance and eventually recognized the inconsistencies in the story that Michael had shared with her over the years while police had long classified Alyssa's case as a runaway situation Sarah began to suspect that it was something far more Sinister at first Sarah tried addressing her concerns within her family she asked Michael directly about what had happened and pushed for answers Michael insisted that Alysa had simply left that she had run away and wanted nothing to do with them anymore yet Sarah couldn't shake the feeling that there was something more to the story and that her stepdad might be hiding something crucial Sarah also reached out to lur enforcement hoping they could reopen the case but with no new evidence and Alyssa's status officially labeled as a runaway the police weren't able to provide much assistance despite these roadblocks Sarah continued her Quest refusing to accept that her sister's case would remain unsolved frustrated by the lack of progress Sarah took matters into her own hands and turned to social media she started sharing Alyssa's story online using every platform available to spread awareness and gain support over time her post began to capture attention and Sarah's online presence grew but it wasn't until she joined Tik Tok that her fight for justice truly gained momentum on Tik Tok Sarah adopted a very direct and honest approach she very openly talked about her suspicions of Michael as well as her struggle to keep the case alive Sarah wasn't afraid in the slightest to speak out against her own stepdad publicly declaring that she believed he was responsible for Alyssa's disappearance her boldness was both risky and shocking but it was effective on Tik Tok as viewers admired her courage to speak out even when it meant accusing a family member after years of uncertainty and years of advocacy from Sarah the investigation into Alyssa's disappearance took a significant turn in August 2020 nearly two decades after Alyssa was last seen police arrested her stepfather Michael turny charging him with second deegree murder investigators pieced together patterns of Michael's controlling Behavior leading to the decision to formally reopen the case and charge him the second deegree murder charge against Michael tney indicated that the authorities believed he had killed Alysa without premeditation however the lack of any direct phys physical evidence linking Michael to alysa's disappearance posed a significant challenge for the prosecution despite these hurdles Sarah and her supporters remained hopeful that the circumstantial evidence and Michael's own actions would lead to a conviction in July 2023 Michael turn's trial commenced after 6 days of testimony the defense filed a motion for an acquittal arguing that the prosecution had not presented substantial evidence to support a conviction the judge agreed s ing the absence of fiscal evidence proving alysa's death on Michael's involvement and acquitted Michael of all charges he was released from custody on July 18th 2023 following his release Michael turny took legal action against local officials in January of 2024 he filed a lawsuit against the Phoenix Police Department as Michael alleged he was mistreated during his time in custody claiming he was denied adequate health care and meals and asserted he was wrongfully imprisoned as of today today the case of Alysa attorney has gone completely cold if Alyssa's out there any message for her same message I've always tried to give it which is I love her you want her to come home obviously so the holiday of a lifetime a Caribbean cruise warm beaches and the endless blue of the Open Sea Amy Lyn Bradley a 23-year-old recent college graduate from Virginia was thrilled about the trip traveling with her family she boarded the Royal Caribbean cruise ship rap city of the Seas on March 21st 1998 Amy was excited but also a little bit nervous friends and family said she wasn't exactly the cruise type Amy was athletic outgoing and independent but she had a fear of open water which made the cruise ship a bit of a leap outside her comfort zone the night of March 23rd should have been just like any other night on the cruise ship the family enjoyed dinner and Amy later went to a nightclub on the ship with her brother Brad the siblings had a fun night dancing and chatting with the other passengers and in a video taken that night Amy looked happy and carefree around 3:30 a. m. Brad left the club to go to bed and Amy told him she'd be right behind him this was the last confirmed sighting of Amy by her family early next morning things took a shocking turn around 5:30 a.

m. Amy's father Ron Bradley woke up in their shared cabin he noticed that Amy wasn't in her bed which immediately set off the alarms in his head it was strange for Amy to be up there early especially since they'd been out late the night before Ron initially assumed she might have gone up to the deck to watch the sunrise and he figured she'd be back soon but as the minutes passed and Amy didn't return Ron's concern grew he searched around the ship looking for any sign of his daughter as he checked the common areas the decks and even went to the ship's dining area but there was no trace of Amy feeling increasingly desperate he woke up the rest of the family they searched for her together hoping to find her asleep somewhere else or chatting with a friend but Amy was nowhere to be found by 6:00 a. m.
