Using a "doll's head" to play fetch with your dog sounds like the kind of thing that is creepy in isolation, but not in context. Dog probably had a ragdoll it liked to chew on and that was all that was left after awhile.

[@scarletamazon3455]

Very true, dogs are genius at finding odd things, then becoming attached to them, and if it's harmless (even if it seems kinda creepy and weird out of context) to them, no need to take it away. My current dog loves getting new toys, but she also makes it her mission to destroy them within minutes! Gets pretty expensive! Rather jealous of my friends whose dog never destroys their plush toys, and has had the same favourites for a year! Especially since so many plush dog toys are adorable, and it can be a bit grim handing my girl an adorable plush, only for her to immediately disembowel it to remove the squeaker, then settle down to happily gnaw off every limb...! 😄

[@Djm0319]

Weird, because in the movie “Summer School” the dog plays fetch with a doll’s head.

[@TiffanyShockley-t2j]

Think it’s someone who knows them? Knew they would be there secluded? Or stalked them first

[@scarletamazon3455]

@@StAlphonsusHasAPosse And those things aren't cheap, either! Ah well, it's still worth it now and then, and she especially loves getting to open gift wrapped gifts, and boxes I've packed with newspaper and treats, so I guess I kinda taught her to be destructive with her toys! Least it's only with things given to her, she doesn't destroy other items, never has, bless her paws. She's good at the puzzle games too, but has to be supervised so I can remove them before she destroys them, same with snuffle mats/slow feeders. Ever tried those sorts with your pup? Mine loves the weeble wobble type toys that drop treats when knocked about with paws, but I have to carefully stage and limit her time with those, since while she has a blast, she knows how thyey work, so slams them about with so much force, knocking them into the skirting boards/doors/furniture, she's chipped paint! Have to like, pad the walls with dog bedding before letting her play with one indoors, lol.

Our Mikey is obsessed with the MANY wilderness disappearances, and I, for one, could not be more enthused. I relate so much to dear Lolly. SAed as a child myself, I also found solace and comfort by being in the Great Outdoors as much as I possibly can. It hurts my soul that, after surviving the SA of youth, in the midst of beautiful Nature, she and the woman she loved encountered a wretched, hate-filled, degenerate wastrel, then spent her last hours alive being SAed again. If the people in this episode are, indeed, dead, my fervent hope is that it occurred quickly and with minimal suffering. Each one included in this documentary seemed to truly be excellent, quality human beings. Humanity's loss, for sure. RIP, all.

[@pinkdarkman]

I feel for Michael. I've only done 1 trail race, at a state park. I'd never even ran on a trail before, but it wasn't a mountain so I was able to keep up with a lot of the regulars. Even in a big pack and with a lot of seasoned trail runners, we all got lost because the path we were supposed to go wasn't clearly marked. Experienced people were asking me which way to go and I was like "lol idk," while stumbling over tree roots. Eventually we found the right path and it was a small park so it wasn't scary, but it was pretty annoying. I've never ran a trail race again because I don't trust organizers to clearly mark the path and getting lost in the wilderness can easily turn dangerous. Honestly, I know he took 2 hours to get up 1.5 miles up the mountain, but they really should have had someone go up the 200 feet with him to make sure he knew where to start going down. Trail race organizers all just seem to be really bad at clearly marking the trail. Those little flags you stick in the ground can't be that expensive, guys!! It could save lives! Edit: Also, I want to add that I had done my due diligence and had walked the path the race was supposed to take the day before. Even when you do that, it's much different on race day when the adrenaline is pumping and you're racing in a group and your brain isn't at full capacity and there are a bunch of paths to take and you have to decide which one to take without having any time to pull out a map, so honestly even if Michael had practiced the route he still might have gotten lost.

[@ct5625]

"the path we were supposed to go wasn't clearly marked" This is what makes me angry about that last case. Even now their website is terrible and lacks any kind of basic organizational information. It looks like it was designed by a teenager in 1995. This event seems to have few or no markers along the route, and the fact that those staff left the peak and let him carry on makes my blood boil. I have no doubt that he got to the peak and didn't know it, so he carried on going and got lost. It might be mean to some, but I think those last people to see him should feel guilty. Their lack of responsibility or basic common sense cost that man his life. If they had waited, or returned with him, or told him the peak was now vacant and he should turn back, he wouldn't have vanished. And the notion that they let KIDS run this race just astounds me. Then again, it's Alaska. If Sarah Palin was considered a "leader" what does that say about the average intelligence of the citizens? EDIT TO ADD: Even Tough Mudder races on flat terrain in the middle of summer have dozens of stewards along the route and markers to show where everyone is going. It's just insane to me that these guys can get away with such a clown show on a freaking MOUNTAIN.

[@skierprincessakify]

@@ct5625 It doesn’t have any markers because it’s everyone for their own and you can go up any way you want, you just have to make sure you pass over the timing mat at the top of the mountain before you start the descent. It’s really obvious where the trail is once you get out of the first section and into the open. Plus people aren’t usually really spread out.

[@paulcarpenter7844]

​@skierprincessakify one scary guy because Noone really knows how many people he killed

[@robertbeard230]

Funny thing is, that absolutely does happen in national parks on a fairly regular basis. Many people like to believe that the relative safety of the suburbs, where the worst their day gets is usually a dog getting into the trash, goes with them when they’re in the wilderness. Unfortunately, being out of sight and earshot is precisely the atmosphere that serial killers and other monsters love to hunt, so that cannot be farther from the truth. A personal account… I was camping with my then-girlfriend at a lake around 45 minutes from home. At the time I didn’t own a car, so we had some family drop us off on Friday afternoon with plans to pick us up Sunday morning. Everything went okay the first night. Only one weird thing stuck out; a campsite nearby, seemingly abandoned, with the tent flattened and everything around it soaked. It had been raining off and on. There were women’s clothes on a clothesline and a number of empty beer cans strewn around. It looked as if someone had just abandoned all of their gear without much thought. The second night around 1am, as it was lightly raining and the girlfriend and I were sitting by a campfire, a pickup pulled up to that other campsite. Someone got out, wandered around the site for a moment, then started walking our way. It was about 200 yards and in clear line of sight, so he didn’t exactly sneak up on us. Up walked this man, drunk and slurring, cussing, and carrying a rifle. He didn’t point it at us, but he definitely wanted us to know he had it. He was livid for some reason; he was angry at us for reasons he didn’t quite articulate. He demanded to know who we were, how we got there, how long we’d been there… demanded to know our names, if we’d paid to be out there, and so on. He then said something that sticks out now as incredibly telling, but it didn’t make sense at the time; “I don’t appreciate strangers walking around out here at night.” This was a public campsite, and the three of us were the only ones on that side of the lake. The proverbial alarm bells began to ring when he insisted we “go talk to the camp host” (at 1am). I’d been camping out there for years and never heard of such a demand, even during the day. I also knew that the “host” campsite was about half a mile away, and he demanded we start walking up there to talk to this person. But instead of ushering us down the road, he tried leading us another direction; being very familiar with that area, I knew the only thing in that direction was an empty field and some train tracks. I was somehow able to plead with him that we’d sit inside our tent, silently, until our ride arrived in the morning. We sat, terrified and wide-eyed, inside that tent for two solid hours before that man finally got in his truck and drove away. My family wouldn’t believe either of us, and insisted we must have walked into his campsite or must have been too loud and bothered him. The campsite was still there, still ruined, seemingly untouched. Eight days later I opened the local newspaper and read an article that shook me up pretty badly. A body had been found at the lake. It was found just 500 yards from where we’d been camping. Badly decomposed, apparently it had been there “9 to 12 days”, and the sheriff’s department was looking for leads. That comment came back to me, about how that armed, angry, drunken man who showed up at 1am didn’t appreciate people walking around at night, when he hadn’t seen us walking around and didn’t stick around to clean up what I assume was his campsite. Maybe it was the dead woman’s campsite. But from what I understand, the gal “worked on Craigslist” (before they got rid of that feature) and vanished the night before that bitter old man showed up to yell us. I’m still convinced we would’ve been found right next to her if we didn’t have someone scheduled to pick us up a few hours later.

Comment 2: I am from and still live in VA. I was 16 and just got my drivers license when Alicia went missing and it was such a huge story. It definitely made a big impact on even a naive teenager, to learn safety on the road.

[@leftcoastfunk]

Couldn't agree more! I get that mistakes are mistakes, but her never had to disappear. Absolutely, entirely, *100%* avoidable. The officials who continued their way down the mountain despite knowing that there was another person still carrying on upwards were just negligent. There's no other word for it. They absolutely should have gone up with him, especially after realizing that he was well over 45 minutes slower than everyone else in the race and likely at more risk for exhaustion, injury, etc. So sad watching that one

With all your stories of the Appalachian trail, I was frightened for our elderly neighbor who took the trail solo earlier this year. I was so relieved when he made it home safe. He texted updates and photos to his wife who shared them on Facebook. There are a lot of tents set up along the way with food, water and neighborly activities, which I thought was neat.

One thing officials did that you forgot to mention is that they warned everyone, multiple times, that if you had never run this race before do not make this specific race, on MT Marathon your first race, period! He'd never even climbed the mountain once, nor was he in any other foot race at all. Michael made a fatal mistake, simply because he didn't take their warning seriously.

I live seven miles from Shenandoah National Park and I worked just a few miles from where Lolly and Julie were found. Alicia grew up about 20 miles from me. She didn’t disappear from SNP. She was driving on Rt 29 to meet her mom in Charlottesville to go shopping for a dress for her brother’s wedding. She was living in northern Virginia at the time. I drove 29 daily in the days and weeks after her disappearance. I was on edge a lot. Michael had glaucoma and had suffered vision loss. He had no business in that race. Once you start losing vision, glaucoma plays tricks with your eyes. Unfortunately, I know from my own experience.

Hey, you'd be SURPRISED at the things women own that you didn't think they owned in regards to the toys. Quick story. I was doing furniture delivery a few years back and this not quite middle aged woman sent us upstairs to exchange her mattress as you can pay to have us take your old one. Anyway, we got upstairs and as we took her old mattress off her bed, she must've remembered her toy as she shouted "guys, wait a minute!!". It was too late. We lifted her mattress only to see a white toy that was the size of my forearm. I was impressed tbh. She came up and it made for an EXTREMELY awkward moment to say the least. Now even though I don't have any toys, I tried to make her feel better by staying "we all have one of those, no worries" LMAO. Good times.

I have a theory about Keith Reinhard: he was so obsessed with Tom Young’s mysterious disappearances that when his body was located , he found it very anticlimactic and perhaps downright disappointing so he decided to go out there and create his own mystery. He wasn’t really interested in discovering what happened to Tom but rather the mystery of it all. That’s the intriguing part

I've been watching a channel called "JUMPSUIT PABLO" who is a guy who did 10yrs in South Carolina State Prison. When he got out he made a KZbin channel talking about Prison. Well he teamed up with the channel "PHONE CALLS FROM JAIL" where they requested all of the Phone Calls of WADE WILSON from his arrest in 3019 all the way up until his sentence. He actually had confessed 4-5 times on the calls & one of the calls was to his Girlfriend Mila who had the NEWS MEDIA sitting in her house listening to WADE WILSON on speakerphone. He didn't know they were there & Mila asked him "What did you do to these women Wade"? & He just said "I slept with the first girl & after sex I strangled her to D*ath, Wrapped her up & out her in her closet, I took her phone & before I walked out her house I realized her phone was locked so I walked back upstairs, Pulled her out the closet, Unwrapped her & used her Face to unlock the phone, I then took her Thumbs to unlock it once I was no longer at the house Then I was driving around & I figured if I already Killed a person I was getting Life in Prison, And I liked the feeling so I went driving around looking for another person to *ILL, So I seen a random lady walking & I asked for directions, And since she needed a Ride she got in & I Strangled her. I thought she was D**D so I began to gRAPE her but she woke up & it terrified me because I was certain she was gone. So she tried getting out the car & I was pulling her back in 2 times, but the 3rd try I let her get free but it was so I could Run her over with the Car, So she was running & screaming HELP HELP HELP. So I hit her with the car, Backed up over her & I actually counted how many times I ran over her. I ran over her 16× & I only stopped because at that point she looked like RAW HAMBURGER MEAT, He Legs & Arms were hanging off & the bones were sticking through the skin. I looked at her face & all I thought of was SPAGHETTI SAUCE,GROUND BEEF, & RAW STEAK. I got out the car, I picked up the body & put it in the trunk, everything from the waist up was in the trunk & every waist down was hanging out the trunk, Its weird but all I could think about was those CHEESY P0RN0's where the girl acts like she is stuck in the dryer, stuck under the Coffee Table,ETC & the Male P0RN0 dudes will take the opportunity of the moment & Rip off their Yoga Pants or cloths & begin to have S3X WITH THEM. So its all I could think about so I did it. She was completely D**D & I had intercourse with the body............ This dude is a disgusting P.O.S & HIM BEING SENTENCED TO D**TH IS TOO GOOD FOR HIM.

That mountain is almost barren looking so how can someone lost not be seen????? The trail is well marked too. My first thought was a bear got him but there wasnt any blood found any where. Its sad the people on top didnt wait with him instead of leaving him. I understand the family did sue but no amount of money can replace their husband/father.
