history when the church was demolished in 1536 time passed on a king was lost and the old church grounds were turned into a parking lot but it was in this parking lot that Richard was finally found in 2012 476 years after his tomb was turned to Rubble number 28 the case of Margie gelic while working at her mother's Indiana Tavern Margie gelic met a biker named Randy joerger who rode with a gang called The Outlaws what's your name I haven't seen you here before my name's Margie Margie how do you do my name's Randy the

gang was reportedly incredibly violent and under numerous investigations for the likes of racketeering robberies and even various bombings and murders jelovic devoted herself to and defended joerger becoming paranoid that the police were after them in September of 1997 she up and vanished wherever she is gone she has not traveled there in her car her family is as perplexed as they are worried her asthma inhaler was left behind suggesting that she had been taken against her will but that was not the case it wasn't until October of 2014 that jelic and joer were found living together

it was simply gone after that nothing more was heard from the plane and it would remain missing for over five decades after years of conspiracy theories the wreck of Stardust was found by two Mountaineers in Mount tupungato in the late '90s further studies seemed to show that the pilots likely became mistaken about their location having encountered a jet stream and accidentally flew into the cloud obscured mountains the crash then started an avalanche which buried the plane and prevented Rescuers from finding it after the devastating crash Stardust was buried within seconds number 26 young Monica Bonia

the marriage of guo and rosemary Bonia began to collapse after the murder of John Lenin in 1980 not long after guo Bonia began dressing and acting like lennin telling Rosemary that he was the reincarnated musician on September 22nd 1982 Rosemary finished work and came home to find nothing in it anymore including Furniture belongings guo and their young daughter Monica years later an episode of Unsolved Mysteries told of The Disappearance of one nylene Marshall for over seven years Nene's family has been trapped by the agony of not knowing what happened to her a school official in

Vancouver contacted the producers claiming that a student named Mary Anne Kelly may be the missing Marshall the FBI investigated Kelly and discovered that she was not nylene Marshall but the also missing Monica Bonia instead she was safely returned to her mother who called the bizarre coincidence God's will number 25 the Mary Celeste it's probably the most famous ghost ship in North American history on December 4th 1872 the Mary Celeste was found floating and abandoned off Western Europe the boat was in fair condition while both its cargo and the crew's belongings were mostly accounted for 10

persons the captain his family and crew had vanished without Trace while we're still not 100% sure what happened many commentators believe that something very very worrying had to have occurred the men found working charts but not the ship's papers nor her navigational instruments or Maps the explosive theory is one of the most popularly accepted ones carrying over 1700 barrels of alcohol it's likely that the barrels started seeping causing either an intense smell of gas or a small pressure wave explosion that would have left behind no scorching or soot either way it's likely that the captain

ordered the crew into the the YW and in a panic failed to secure it to the boat the ship then drifted away leaving the men to die on the open ocean now with the help of an international team of experts the true story of the Mary Celeste can finally be told number 24 the Freeman arson at 5:30 a.m. on the morning of December 30th 1999 police were notified of a fire at the house of Danny and Kathy Freeman it's a cold dark morning when the volunteer fire department is called to exting a devastating trailer fire

inside they found the corpses of Cathy and Dany both of whom had been shot missing was the Freeman's teenage daughter Ashley and Ashley's friend Laura Bible who was sleeping over that night the crime wasn't solved for nearly 20 years the girls literally fell off the face of the Earth there is no clothes no phone calls nothing in April of 2018 66-year-old Ronnie buk was arrested and charged with four counts of murder including those of Bible and Ashley Freeman it's believed that buk and two others Warren Welch and David Pennington both dead killed the Freemans torched

their house and kidnapped the teens buk pled guilty and served just 38 months of his 10-year sentence thanks to quote good behavior he was sentenced to 10 years in prison and Friday morning was released number 23 a zodiac Cipher is finally cracked the story of the Zodiac Killer continues to Intrigue owing to his elusive nature and the bizarre ciphers he he produced the Zodiac made four of these cryptograms and before 2020 only one had been solved the first was quickly cracked back in 1969 but for the next several decades the remaining three continued to stump

even the most professional code Breakers that is until December 2020 when another Cipher was solved by private citizens dubbed z340 the puzzle was originally sent on November 8th 1969 and references the Zodiac's welcoming of death it reads in part I hope you are having lots of fun in trying to catch me he claims that his new life will be an easy one in paradise and that he is not afraid of the gas chamber because it will send him to Paradise all the sooner there are still two remaining ciphers from zodiac that have yet to be

decoded number 22 the Lost Rowan Oak Colony one of America's biggest mysteries is also one of its simplest a number of colonists settled in what's now North Carolina in 1585 this was known as the Rowan Oak colony Explorer John White left the colony in 1587 meaning to get more supplies in England white soon sailed back to England for much needed supplies but when he returned he found the settlement eerily abandoned when he finally returned in 1590 having been delayed by War the colony was gone the only clue being the word Croatan carved into the Palisade

white deduced likely correctly that the colonists left for nearby Cowan Island while we don't know for sure there is tons of circumstan IAL evidence showing that it's most likely the colonists moved out and assimilated with the local tribes having lost hope of White's return they eventually make it to safety after a 500 Mile Journey To Georgia indeed the present day hatus tribe considers themselves descendants of the Lost Europeans perhaps the colonist survived and together with the croan tribe went on to thrive in their adoptive land number 21 death love pass Avalanches seem to account for

many Mysteries the 1959 yet love pass one has long been a famous one with nine hikers fleeing the safety of their tent in the dead of night and dying under puzzling conditions their deaths were initially attributed to a quote compelling natural force and questions abounded for many decades and in the end investigators are left with no explanation as to what happened but advancements in technology led to a sound answer in 2020 Avalanche it's likely the hikers heard the rumbling of an imminent Avalanche and fled the tent in a panic further study suggests some got hit

by a slab Avalanche hence their devastating physical injuries and the rest got lost in the dark and passed on through hypothermia this answer has been supported by numerous independent bodies all of whom agree that it's the most likely scenario being in this location really brought home to me just how terrifying it was for them number 20 the fate of the Franklin Expedition I will not lose another man FR May lose all am men for centuries explorers sought out a Northwest Passage between the Atlantic and Pacific through the Arctic Ocean but their expeditions often ended in

disaster it's the ice Georgie it's only the ice one of the most famous was British royal Navy officer John Franklin's in 1845 his expedition ships HMS arabus and HMS Terror never returned search parties recovered only artifacts and human remains with the passing of time however we've pieced together the full story the ships got trapped in pack ice and the crew died from starvation hypothermia and disease the sunken arabus and Terror were finally found in 2014 and 2016 respectively number 19 Pierre a some lumps of things come back that are not especially Pleasant imagine waking up

in a ditch with only $17 in your pocket and no idea who you are or or where you came from that's what happened to amnesiac Pier April in May 1992 April was found wandering the Streets of San Diego and taken to a shelter pieces of his life started coming back to him including faces and talents but nothing came of his attempts to connect to his past life in September his case was featured on an episode of Unsolved Mysteries I was so sure this city would bring everything back and it did not this episode was seen

by an old colleague of ail's named Carol she phoned the show's tipline and told them all they needed to know ail was happily reunited with his family and his memory has since recovered it is strange to be told who you are and what you did I'm someone again number 18 umbrella man the assassination of John F Kennedy in November 1963 prompted countless conspiracy theories some of the more interesting ones were about a figure spotted in photos and films of the event who had been brandishing an umbrella despite the sunny weather in all of Dallas there

appears to be exactly one person standing under an open black umbrella could he have been complicit in the assassination he remained a mystery for 15 years until 1978 when Lou Steven wit came forth Wht identified himself as the umbrella man and said that the umbrella was meant as a symbolic protest against Kennedy an umbrella had been the trademark accessory of British prime minister Neville Chamberlain Infamous for initially appeasing the Nazi party it was a reference to Neville Chamberlain's umbrella and with that one of the world's most tantalizing Mysteries fizzled out with a disappointing answer oh

I see then everything is wrapped up in a neat little package really I mean that number 17 the palding light of Michigan speaking of horribly disappointing answers let's discuss the paing light uh I we came out here because somebody had heard about it we sitting around a night and some local people that we knew had heard about this paing is a small community in western Michigan that houses a famous piece of folklore one popular Legend says that the light is produced by the Wayward Spirit of a train conductor killed when his locomotive derailed just outside

of town onlookers can spot a bright light flashing on and off at the end of a valley the people of palding have many Supernatural explanations for this light including ghosts one particularly creepy story claims that it's a grandparent looking for their lost grandchild with a flickering Lantern but the truth is far more boring turns out it's actually just headlights from a nearby highway so yeah bummer had people standing here having the pictures of the vehicles on the screen of the computer and it's like well that's it and I just still won't believe it number 16

the Summerton man one of a Australia's enduring Mysteries may have been finally solved in the summer of 2022 on December 1st 1948 a body was found in Adelaide Summerton Park he was wearing American clothes embroidered with the name Keen inside his pocket was a scrap of paper reading tamam should Persian for is finished the book that this paper was torn from was eventually located and investigators found cryptic text written on the cover we looked for people with no date of death on that tree and and um there was one that stood out in July 2022

DNA helped identify the man as Carl web it's also now believed that the cryptic text found in the book were the names of horses as web often gambled on horse racing and finally the clothes were likely passed down from his nephew who once lived in the United States number 15 the bloop many people have a fear of the deep ocean and it's because of things like this the bloop was a very loud underwater noise captured in 1997 by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration it was so loud that it was detected by sensors over

3,000 M away it doesn't sound like much at normal speed but it takes on its signature bloop noise when sped up Believers in cthulu immediately went to giant underwater monster but once again the truth is more mundane it wasn't a massive creature but an ice quake as a result of glacial movements man science can't let us have any fun number 14 Anastasia's Fate In The Grave there was supposed to be 11 bodies but only nine were there on July 17th 1918 far-left revolutionaries the Bolsheviks murdered the Russian imperial Romanov family in the aftermath rumors circulated

that grand duchess Anastasia who was 17 had somehow escaped and survived her body could not be located and several people came forward claiming to be the Lost Anastasia however these stories turned out to be outright lies or the result of mental health issues as was the case with famous impostor Anna Anderson the long-standing rumor was officially put to rest when the remains of the royal family were identified with DNA grand duchess Anastasia was among them proving that she died with the rest of the romanovs number 13 lady beg good the World War II bomber lady

be good was used to conduct a raid on Naples on April 4th 1943 however it disappeared on its way back to Libya and both the plane and its crew were considered lost no one knew what happened and the plane was not recovered that is until 1958 when the crashed aircraft was spotted in the Libyan Desert this raised even more questions as the plane was remarkably preserved and showed no signs of the crew where's the pilot I don't understand where's the crew hey all the questions were subsequently answered after an investigation the pilots had gotten lost

in a sandstorm and ejected from the craft when it ran out of fuel the plane crashed and the men died while walking through the desert number 12 sailing Stones it's one of the most bizarre sites that can be seen in nature a lone rock stands in the middle of the desert a massive Trail snakes behind it as if it's been pushed across the ground however no footsteps and no signs of animal activity can be found these stones are especially notable in the racetrack pla of California's death valley you know all these funny parallel Trails uh

that are clearly there's some sort of common force involved so just what the heck is going on with these rocks the phenomenon has tantalized researchers for decades but the mystery has only recently been cracked the valley floor produces a very thin layer of ice and the Rocks slide across these sheets when the ice starts to melt the movement leaves indentations in the ground resulting in their signature Trails number 11 the death of jun Linn mother still worried about him living in a big foreign city so he'd walked the streets with his cell phone and stream

images back to her his message to her and their daily conversations was always the same don't worry he told her I'm safe one of the most notorious videos in the history of the internet was uploaded on May 25th 2012 titled One Lunatic one ice pick it depicts an Asian male getting killed and dismembered by an unidentified figure so you could see that clearly the murder happened on the [Music] bed various body parts were then sent to schools and federal Offices across Canada and these remains were linked to the man who was killed in the video

the case made International headlines and remained a mystery for several days but in investigators quickly traced the grizzly homicide to a man named Luca magnat who had already fled the country an international Manhunt in sued and magnata was finally captured in Berlin on June 4th about a week and a half after uploading the infamous video you can magnata who's been the focus of an international Manhunt since fleeing Canada last week was arrested by police at an internet eventually face Canada's justice system is expected to go before a judge tomorrow number 10 the face on Mars

was there once an advanced civilization on Mars some of the features on the planet surface definitely make you wonder this is one of the most popular space images of all time taken by the Viking orbiters back in the mid '70s the picture depicts the Sedonia region of Mars people immediately noticed that one of the features bore a striking resemblance to a human face or maybe one of those old school hockey masks everything is proportional the face is mile and a half 2 miles long the eyes are quarter mile nose about a half a mile so

it's not small structure it's very large structure speculation immediately flew to aliens or some kind of human habitation on the supposedly Barren Planet but nah the answer is much more boring turns out this was just an optical illusion the result of lighting angle and a low resolution picture more recent and much better photos have been taken of the same location and they reveal nothing but a boring Hill with fa-like characteristics now number nine the construction of the pyramids the Giza Pyramids are arguably the most famous landmarks in the world they continue to stand tall literally

after thousands of years their construction has baffled people for Millennia leading some to suggest that aliens must have been involved After All Humans couldn't possibly drag and lift those stones into place right well yes they could researchers believe that workers loaded the blocks onto sledges and wet the sand to make them easier to drag they rap the blocks using ramps and Levering techniques this took tens of thousands of people decades to complete but hey no one said building a wonder of the world was easy number eight the tunguska event in the early morning of June

30th 1908 a remote area of Russia was hit with a massive and mysterious blast in 1 hour the explosion and the great fire that followed destroy a region of forest the size of greater London people who observed that thought the end of the world had come Judgment Day divine intervention this blast completely leveled over 800 square miles of forest and flattened 80 million trees no Source could be found for the explosion so no one knew what exactly happened it's an event and it's a mystery that would take 105 years of research before we could finally

write the words the end thousands of scientific papers have been written about the incident and the area has been studied for decades with many trying to crack the bizarre case it is now generally agreed that a 200t meteor traveling 60,000 mph exploded in midair over the area resulting in what's called a meteor air burst this air burst then leveled everything below the meteor's detonation site if it was a meteorite and the Earth had turned a bit further it would have destroyed St Petersburg an hour later it would have destroyed Helsinki 1 hour later Stockholm and

after that Oslo number seven the death of of Ryan Stallings Patricia Stallings brought her sick baby Ryan to the hospital the doctors found what they thought was ethylene glycol in the baby's blood leading them to conclude that he had been poisoned he recovered but Patricia was suspected of the poisoning and Ryan was sent to live elsewhere and I I was just I was devastated I was blown away I just could not believe that they could even think I mean Ryan was my world following a future visit Ryan fell sick again and died Patricia was again

blamed for poisoning Ryan and charged with homicide his mother Patty was now charged with first-degree murder and held without bail she was not allowed to attend Ryan's Funeral she later gave birth to another son and he exhibited the same symptoms it was later found that both children suffered from a disorder called methylmalonic acidemia an acidic byproduct of the disorder can be mistaken for ethylene glycol it would be very simple to confuse the diagnosis of MMA with multiple poisonings because the symptoms are very similar Patricia was released from prison and successfully sued the lab that tested

Ryan's blood number six Stonehenge the awe inspiring stone circle is an enduring mystery despite centuries of intense scrutiny one of Humanity's greatest Marvels Stonehenge has been standing for thousands of years the widely accepted theory is that the Stonehenge landscape was a large Cemetery a place to bury and worship the dead but where exactly did the giant stones come from they're all pretty much symmetrical 13 ft High 7 ft across and each weighing 25 tons experts have been trying to crack the case for hundreds of years some will have you believe that it was aliens but

no it was really just the nearby Woods in 2019 researchers were able to do tests on a small area of extracted Stone and sourced it to the nearby Westwoods in Wilshire the location has finally been pinned down but one tantalizing question remains how did they drag these 25 ton Boulders 15 mil to the South clearly some very very powerful people around at that time who were being able to control resources control the labor force to create some of the largest monuments we've ever seen number five the Centennial Olympic Park criminal the North Carolina Mountains Crown

zero for the largest most expensive fugitive search in United States history on July 27th 1996 Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Park was bombed during the summer Olympic Games the blast injured hundreds but thanks to the heroic efforts of security guard Richard juel direct deaths were limited to two people move away from the town go toward the street anything but here are you kidding me we got to move there's a juel himself was initially as the culprit but he was eventually cleared and the case remained a mystery for several years the FBI was eventually led to a man

named Eric Rudolph who had committed various other bombings across the American South Rudolph was finally arrested in 2003 and pleaded guilty to all charges he was given four life sentences and is currently held in a supermax prison in Colorado he had one life bomb and 250 pounds of explosives buried in the mountains here he agreed to tell the government where it all was in exchange for life sentences Number Four The Disappearance of Jamal koki Trump Administration touched off a news storm of criticism over the killing of Saudi writer Jamal koki the US has sanctioned some

Saudis in response but the Crown Prince has yet to face any punishment the case of journalist Jamal koki was all over the news in the fall of 2018 on October 2 of that year koki went missing while visiting the Saudi consulate in Istanbul at the time k Shoki was living in Exile as he was Penning scathing articles that criticized the Saudi Arabian rulers and I think his knowledge of the regime added credibility to his profession as a journalist when he spoke out while his fate remained a mystery for weeks most people had a good idea

what happened koki was killed inside the consulate it was eventually revealed that koki did indeed die inside the building and on October 25th Saudi Arabia's attorney general admitted that it was a premeditated homicide the CIA later concluded that koki was assassinated on the orders of Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman there was credible evidence that Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman and other Saudi senior officials were liable for the killing number three the Golden State killer one of the most notorious criminals in American history the Golden State killer has gone by many names he terrorized

California throughout the 70s and 80s sexually assaulting at least 51 women burglarizing over homes and murdering 13 people he was given different names in different areas including the vicilia ransacker and the nightstalker only with time did it become apparent that these crime sprees were the work of one person the name Golden State killer was coined in 2013 By crime writer Michelle mcnamer the case helped Inspire the creation of California's DNA database and it was DNA evidence that eventually nabbed Joseph James D'Angelo in 2018 who by then was 72 2 years old he was sentenced to

life in prison I think we all had come to terms that we would never see Justice in this case neither one of them in any way shape or form should have ever died this way number two the collapse of the Maya civilization the largest and most sophisticated pre-colombian civilization of the Americas the Maya flourished for thousands of years they mastered mathematics and astronomy perfected the first written language of the Western Hemisphere and produced stunning works of art the civilization entered its so-called classic period in the year 250 and this lasted until 900 it was around

then that the entire political system collapsed and the Maya abandoned their most important cities to move north with this the Maya civilization entered what is called its postclassic period so what the heck happened it's a mystery that has plagued historians for years the answer was finally found in the 21st century it turns out the were so overpopulated that they damaged the environment and created a devastating drought the extreme intensity of these droughts was disastrous making a carefully managed response their only hope with their agriculture thoroughly destroyed the Maya were forced to abandon their most populous
