From the last episode i've seen the unredacted photo of the teenage girl & the little boy. Sadly i believe they were both victims of some sadistic serial killer, the 1970's really was the start of the epidemic of serial killers both in the US and around the world. I think in the US with the ease of crossing state lines it's made the interstates and freeways so dangerous. It's now believed that there are over 150 active serial killers at any one time in the US and even in the UK where i live, a relatively small island it's believed to be between 10-15 serial killers active at any one time. There are 2 potential killers who've yet to be caught, the 'Midlands Ripper' who is linked to as many as 35 murders in and around Birmingham. And 'The Manchester Pusher', this is someone who hangs around the popular night clubs, especially gay bars in Manchester. They find someone intoxicated on their own & push them into the canals, once in the canals it's virtually impossible to get out, the bodycount there is between 18 am 26 victims. Scary stuff

If you want a story, I’m in Florida my brother went missing for seven years. His car was found along 275 north by Livingston Avenue and everything was in his car and the police told us they searched all up the side of the interstate. Well he was up there in the woods for seven years, they didn’t search like they said they did and that’s it. It was in the paper a couple of times, and they came and talked to my mom, but nothing was done. Every time they found a body in United States they would send my brothers dental records to see if it was him, but it never was. This was a 1981. A farmer found a skull on his property and they did a dental check and it was my brother. The Doctor held his skull up on the news & said this is a 50 year old man,my brother was 23. Remember this was the 80s. They found his wallet & other things,we never received any of it. My parents went through hell and I did too. I am the only son now and I sure miss him.

I feel so many of these disappearances can be explained away by searcher incompetence. A lot of people who were found later on were in areas that had supposedly been searched already. Just look at Geraldine who went missing on the Appalachian trail. She was less than one mile off the trail. It's also clear that searchers always underestimate how far children can travel. Kids can scale unbelievably treacherous terrain without breaking a sweat.

[@xTigressStylex]

I kinda agree, always thought the same about Jared Negrete whom they never found, or even that Dunbar boy.

[@timdavis6088]

The wilderness is much bigger than you may realize. Sure, there are probably some cases where you could chalk it up to lazy or incompetent searching. But if you've never tried to search for someone or something in the vast wilderness then you have no way to know how easy it is to miss things. Especially at night. Don't start shaming S&R people. Most of them are volunteers. 1 mile off the "path" = 640 acres! To put that in perspective; The Mall of America is approximately 50 acres. So how long and how FAST, because life is on the line here, can you search (10) Mall's of America and NOT MISS something. Your heart seems to be in the right place. But you're lashing out at the wrong people.

[@KingRumar]

That’s true, but I hope you don’t underestimate the wilderness. It very much is alive and well are at its mercy sometimes, so to speak

[@smittysmeee]

Yes, "feel" is the right word, alright. Not much thinking going on. Lemme guess, you have no children, you have never once participated in a search and rescue, and you do not spend any meaningful time in the wilderness. You might want to consider that if a child can, as you claim, "scale unbelievably treacherous terrain without breaking a sweat," and cover miles upon miles of ground in a single afternoon, then certainly these wee supermen can circle back on themselves and end up in places that have already been searched. The searchers are after all searching for a moving target. And incredibly agile, adept, and impossible to catch target to hear you tell it. Grant those brave men and woman some grace for doing a job you choose not to do, a very difficult job. The great outdoors is immensely great, and it is unbelievably easy to get lost in it and unbelievably difficult to find someone in it. Don't believe me? Give it a try before you preach.

The high infant mortality rate means the average life expectancy was much lower, which people confuse with adult life expectancy. Hence the wrong assertions that people only lived to about 47 in the 19th century which is nonsense.

[@billblaski9523]

So what is a more accurate life expectancy?

[@haydenmatthewconnor6547]

It's because people commonly misunderstand the difference between mean (average), median, and mode. Average life expectancy takes all the values and adds them together, then divides by the number of values. More accurate would be mode, which gives you the number that occurs most frequently in a set.

[@chendaforest]

@@haydenmatthewconnor6547 Exactly.

[@cordeliawl]

@@billblaski9523 Sometimes both "average life expectancy at birth" and separately "average life expectancy at 1 years old" will be calculated which gives you a better view of things. The second only includes people who survived their first year so, so infant mortality is not pulling the average down and the number is probably more relevant if you are thinking about how long did people live then (or how long do people live now). Seeing how much different that number is than the regular "average life expectancy at birth" gives you a sense of how high the infant mortality is. As another comment mentions, rather than a number, a plot of deaths by age which is a good visualization of the ages most deaths occur.

In the first story, I believe that the child died as the result of being out in the elements. In the second story, It's possible that the picture found in Florida might be the missing woman but New Mexico is a long way from Florida. I believe something bad happened to this woman while she was riding her bicycle (I believe she died that day) and that she is no longer alive. The third story I believe that the rival of the photo company may have been involved in the couples disappearance.. No one can prove that those telegrams were from Pat. I believe that the couple was murdered and buried where they wouldn't be found. I also think the cat was abandoned and left to fend for itself. The cat somehow managed to return home by itself. When someone has been missing and their dog or cat or pet returns home without them, it's usually bad news.

[@labyrinthgirl17]

That one pissed me off so much! There's also, I think, an old west case where a guy went to his cabin for hunting or looking for gold, and never came back. When they found his skeleton decades later, it was found with deep hatchet/axe wounds in the skull. The case of death? He hung himself, it was a suicide, according to the police. 🤪

[@Amoreyna]

Bad police work in the first few hours can pretty much doom a case. And it's a global thing, unfortunately. I wish I could remember the case (it's been years since I saw the show) but I remember part of it, in France, involved police claiming that a woman tied herself to a bed in an impossible way, and then, after doing that, lit herself on fire as a suicide. You know, as one does, in this completely common and not at all impossible method. It wasn't until much later that she and a couple of other women found in similar fashion were finally listed as victims of homicide. Sometimes, bad work on the part of authorities is more subtle like in the very sad case of Joshua Vernon Maddux, that was ruled as a death by misadventure. Sure, there's been very rare but real cases of people deciding to use a chimmney as an entry point, getting stuck and dying. However, in Maddux's case, his clothes minus a thermal shirt were in the cabin itself. Given that he was found head first (and curled up and wedged) in the chimney and the shirt was sitll on him, it seems unlikely, well mostly impossible, that his clothes/shoes migrated into the cabin except his shirt. I've seen reports that they were folded neatly in the cabin itself - I just don't know if it's true. The owner insists that there was a metal grate over the top of the chimmney, set under the top layer of bricks. The corner said he didn't see this, the owner pointed out the cabin was in the process of being demolished at time of discovery and has always insisted that it was prsent seven years prior at the time of death. There was also a heavy piece of furniture that was removed from it's wall mountings and placed in front of fireplace. I was always under the impression this was the act of the owner to prevent animals, but it isn't super clear. Any other signs of disturbances in the cabin were lost to the work demolishing the cabin at the time - there could have been a lot more evidence of someone in the main building. Maddux was last known to be in the company of a man by the name of Andy Newman who has been implicated in one murder and confessed to others, including having non-public knowledge. Prior to discovery, he made several statements of putting "Josh in a hole" that were reported to police. He has a long arrest record. Also, what 18 year old, or anyone for that matter, goes head first into a chimmney? And, according to police theory, strips down to almost nothing before doing this? Maddux was experienced in staying outdoors - it seems odd, given how close this cabin was to his house and the decent relationship with his parents, that he would choose to enter it via the chimmney to explore in the manner he was found, or was looking for somewhere warmer to stay. The corner actually stated that he knew the death wasn't natural, and since his choices were "accidental", "homicide", and "undetermined", being unable to determine the cause of death he went with accidental. Yes, seriously.

13:00 yeah the Tara case to me felt closer to unofficially solved vs not. I’m sure you dug into that theory about the son of law enforcement and there a lot of circumstantial solid evidence. As we know the trope ‘no body no crime’ is just that.. it’s a facade but the connection to law enforcement and everyone’s behavior is hard to ignore. But when dealing with internal investigation and culpability I get the sense later actions by the same office can be a little gun shy. I get a similar vibe to the Keddie Cabin ongoing investigation

[@80bbygrl]

HOW a toddler can just VANISH, without a trace, in an instant is beyond me. Unless due to being taken, there is NO WAY a young child can get far by themselves that fast. So strange and creepy.

[@shannonbailey7580]

Probably a big cat.

[@SleepyPotterFan]

Albuquerque/Belen is still exactly the same in 2024. It’s a pretty large city (32nd in the US, bigger than Atlanta and Tucson 🤷🏻‍♂️ ) but you’re never more than 20-30 minutes from the wide, endless mesa (flat desert for literal miles and miles), or the Sandia mountains (rugged, wild terrain with bears and mountain lions, sheer cliffs, and square miles of thick forest). It’s just the location makes us uniquely isolated. No matter which direction you go out of the city, you’re looking at twenty miles hiking or trekking through barren desert. Every once in a while, when they develop and expand, they’ll find a body buried out there and you know that it’s only by chance because we are an island in a sea of: no one should have ever built a city here.

[@dantonda]

Another great video. Thanks for all your hard work

[@ScaryInteresting]

Thanks for watching!

[@mouserue]

I'ma say almost definitely mountain lion for the first one. Hit-and-run cover-up for the second one. And... who knows on the last one. Seems like a cover-up, but for what? I don't put much stock into stories that come out decades later. So I think murder/manslaughter is just as likely as anything else.

[@charlotteinnocent8752]

Agreed on all counts. They lost the trail at the river, so the boy might have fallen in but an animal got his body before a body could ever be found. I think the hit and run for the second is true, and it is DISGUSTING they never shared that with the parents, they essentially killed her mother as well. For the last, obviously murder. One of the couple, maybe Pat, might have been killed by accident, then Margaret killed to keep it quiet. Bodies disposed of off the boat, and the rest of the trail laid to stop an investigation. I think the cat is the big clue. If they were off for a new life, Margaret would have ensured the cat had a new home or was otherwise taken care of first. Her reputation was not the same as her husbands.

[@SugarandSarcasm]

I was thinking unknown mine shaft, but mountain lion does sound more plausible

[@essaboselin5252]

The thing with the last story is that guy was so shady and he dealt with shady people. If he had cheated the loan shark, or someone like that, he would have to split town quickly. The friends might have known why he left and concocted the story about a trip for their benefit.

[@jerseyjoyride1316]

​@@SugarandSarcasmI think mineshaft and sinkholes claim some victims. That's what explain why some people especially hunters with loaded weapons are never heard from when they disappear a short distance away from other hunters. Of course there was also that one story about the hunter who disappeared and they didn't find his body for years. Turns out while hunting in a separate section of the forest a boulder came loose and crushed him instantly.

[@dannyboi5887]

That hoax latter sent to Alfred's parents really struck a nerve with me. Whoever wrote that was truly a fucking horrible human being and I hope they got appropriate punishment.

[@lisaperry5999]

So many crazies come out when someone is missing and police hafta follow every lead. I mean 1,000s. And yes it takes a very sick person to write a fake ransom

[@thexxit]

Losing a child must be the absolute worst thing that can ever happen in the world. The Patterson's case is so spooky but no matter how eccentric, to leave a business like that and never claim the income, to leave a beautiful home and a boat that was obviously a prized possession... it's all too suspicious. Kirk showing up with the car claiming hes been put in charge of a rival store....? Something's up.

[@wesleykuhronjones2301]

6:05 Thanks for the video title there, really narrows it down

[@mikem4432]

the kid lost in the woods, while the family was hiking to the camp site.. Mounrtain Lion are very quick to pick off the young in the blink of an eye, at least the kid probably died instantly since Mt Lions will snap the neck and carry the body away that fast, that silently... nature is what it is.. not cruel, not evil it sees you for what you are.. nothing more.. nothing less.

[@shannonbailey7580]

I second this.

[@slightlyaboveaveragebutaverage]

People are quick to rule it out as well, but if a mountain lion, coyote, etc. is really hungry, they'll stalk a group of people for hours and wait for a chance to snatch up the smallest one there.

[@cherylcalogero3330]

My favorite channel! I'm always excited when I see you've posted a new video.. Keep up the great work! So scary interesting!!

[@consciousobserver629]

They should have followed up on the Alfred sighting up on the outcrop. It's easier to climb up then down, and maybe the child had climbed up to get a better view but could not climb down. The mere thought of losing one of my four children like that just makes me sick.

[@megroll801]

[@waywardgun]

There's something morbidly fascinating about missing persons cases, especially when people seemingly vanish out of thin air without a trace. Also appreciate the amount of effort that goes into these, I imagine establishing a timeline from all of the available source material takes some considerable research.

[@LordVlax]

Small children tend to wander of, maybe stepping on a hole... A kidnapper has to be pretty stupid to try to take a child from a big group of his family members... On the last case, it sure looks like they took the couple out to get their business...

I cannot imagine losing a child whether thru death or one that is lost with no solid updates. I cant tell which would worse, outright having one die ir constantly having ur hope killed thru whatever reason with one mising. I wouldnt wish that on anyone. It would be torture.
