The priests killer segment is truly one of the best, so mysterious and so chilling. Truly a haunting story.

[@Wowzersdude-k5c]

I think it was a guy who got molested as a kid getting revenge. This happened before all the pedo priests were outed, so I doubt the cops considered this angle back then. The fact the killer left all that cash on the ground on purpose tells me the killer wanted to make a statement this was personal.

Yup. I've heard this theory before too, and I think that there were more priests killed. It could've also been an angry parent or a random vigilante group that found pedophile priests and killed them. I hope the police never find out who did it because they did the right thing.

[@RobertJamesChinneryH]

[@cokomoko7]

My view is that he died due to alcohol and drugs was kept somewhere in the hope that he would regain conscience but he never did. The people from the party maybe Susan the girl who owned the duplex panicked and dumped him there. They will never admit because they know police don't have solid evidence.

[@chrisspearline2942]

kiril Veljanoski yeah but they couldn't determine what killed him

[@cheesecake134]

See, I always saw it as pretty open and shut, just with parents who didn't want to accept it. I think it's pretty clear Kurt died of alcohol poisoning and his young friends panicked and covered it up. I think they're just lucky none of them have talked in all these years.

I'm guessing that those "party guests" were part of a really rough crowd, and Kurt was way out of his element. The "guy from Detroit" was at the party, or knew somebody who was there, and was getting a sick thrill over using Kurt's death to intimidate people. The fact that he disappeared around the time the body was found suggests that he wasn't a crazy drifter like the cops assumed, but rather, knew exactly what he was doing.

with the murder of two priests there is some thought it was revenge for sexualk abuse the priests were involved in...In April of 2015, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Helena released the names of eighty former employees (mostly priests and nuns) who had allegedly sexually abused children in western Montana. One of the names released was Father Kerrigan. It was discovered that he had been moved between multiple churches throughout his thirty years of priesthood. Also, he had previously spent time at the Congregation of the Servants of the Paraclete in Jemez Springs, New Mexico. The facility was originally used to treat priests with drug and alcohol problems; however, it later took in priests accused of sexual abuse. Some have now theorized that his disappearance may be a case of vigilante justice. However, some investigators have claimed that the motive for his alleged murder was not related to sexual abuse.

The day it happened was a Saturday, and he'd have had plenty of time to arrange a meeting and get out of town and back in time for Mass that evening.

I think Kurt died at the party after they tried sobering him up, alcohol poisoning. I think people moved his body once he died in the house. His friend didn’t act right after he went missing. Supplying minors alcohol at your house is illegal obviously. He was probably taken to the ravine once they saw he hadn’t gotten better. I doubt he walked there himself. Wasn't foul play but I feel there were still other people involved.

Police later found remains that were suspected of being Kerrigan's, but were later proven to be not. He remains missing and both cases remain a mystery. It is no longer believed that the cases are connected as Father Kerrigan was discovered to be on a list of priests allegedly involved in child molestation, although Kerrigan's guilt has not yet been confirmed. It is now believed that Kerrigan's murderer may have been a molestation victim or someone close to a victim, such as a blood relative. The motive for Father Rivera's murder has yet to be determined. However, there has been some speculation that Father Rivera's murder may be connected to another Unsolved Mysteries case, an unidentified man called William L. Toomey who committed suicide in a Boise, Idaho church in 1982. Toomey has allegedly been connected to the murder of another priest, Father Patrick Ryan, although another man, James Ramos, was convicted in that case. However, police have failed to find convincing evidence that Toomey or Ramos participated in Father Rivera's murder.

When this episode started I thought I remembered instantly the Kurt Sova case from something recently. Like another show had redone this episode. Body by a little water, after a party, a party where they didn't know a lot of people, no cause of death, the area is searched and a the body is found in the same area later, something with the shoes. Later realized it was a lot like the case on the new season of Unsolved Mysteries on Netflix about Alonzo Brooks. So similar.

[@betterself679]

Yes, very true. Good point.

[@adrianabenitez3317]

Yes the Alonzo story made me think a Lot. First i was mad at his friends fro leaving him but the weird part of that story was that when they found him the letter in his wallet was not wet or ruined neither was his wallet. If he had been in the water it for days it would have been. Weird.

Whom ever killed or was around when he died was someone Kurt knew or a total stranger who felt bad for his death....as if they would feel bad for his family and so they left him in an area where he would be found.

[@Shahla33]

@Eye71Opener Stranger things have happened, but your theory is kind of farfetched. It would involve a lot of people and that makes it tougher to pull it off. I think the most logical is that they fed him too much alcohol at the party. They didn't know he wasn't a strong drinker and it went wrong. They hoped he would recover and let him be in the basement. But he didn't recover, he died. Also, still just a theory, but it was a party with alcohol and they lied there was a party at first and that Kurt had been there. Had it not been for the delivery guy they would have stuck to that story. At least Susan had to change her story.

[@karalianisthmus8548]

Also, if Kurt was lying in that cot passed out wouldn’t there be urine stains? Maybe it was just nasty and his dad wouldn’t be able to tell anyway. I wonder if he was on some kind of other mind altering drug. So sad

Seeing his son after all of these years, Lord knows I miss my dad everyday especially lately. 😔

[@vinaymulukutla358]

That photo of Kurt used to scare the crap out of me (no disrespect to Kurt). Probably because something frightening happened to him. Must be a psychological thing why I found and still find his photo scary. But it is very sad that his parents never saw him again and never found out what happened. I'm real sorry to hear about your Dad bro', I lost mine four years ago and I think about him every day.

Vinay Mulukutla Thank you so much I really appreciate that. Been feeling the grief here lately, and surely, the loss of a parent is something that never goes away truly and there is a empty void never filled... 😪🥀😔 Ya know? I’m very sorry to hear about the loss of your dad also, fours years certainly isn’t that long ago. My sincerest condolences to you Mine has been gone for over seventeen years, as of May 3rd and the moments that crush me the most Vinay, is that there are so many moments he won’t be around and hasn’t been to see witness or I can’t call him on the phone lean on his shoulder for guidance.😰 Those moments hurt the most... It certainly is a real tragedy of what happened to Kurt I can see how the pic can be frightening Unsolved Mysterious have had some of the most evil and sadistic cases of crime/murder, And with the music and photos shown of the victims let alone suspects especially the ones not caught and their creepy mugshots like “America’s Most Wanted” being pictured can indeed be scary along with sadly and tragically the victims... Sorry if my response is “lengthy.”

@@michaeld.williamsiii9026 Hi Michael. Sorry for the late reply but I truly appreciate your words and your condolences. It still feels like yesterday when we got that call early in the morning that he wasn't doing well and spending the last few hours with him (although I went out to tell my sibling). I think it will always feel like yesterday for me. But I too am sorry that you lost your father seventeen years ago and indeed, that's the worst thing of it, not being able to talk to our fathers, call them on the phone or just sit in the same room with them whether it's for dinner, chilling in the living room or just having discussions. Also going to places that we enjoyed together can sometimes unleash grieving moments. I don't know what to say man. You get on with life and do what you have to do but it never leaves you. I feel sad that Kurt Sova died so young just simply going to a party full of strangers which was very unwise. I grew up watching Unsolved Mysteries and a lot of photos of victims and criminals are scary if not the case details. But it always kept me coming back for more. I hope life is kind to you and that everything is fine with you. Thanks so much for sharing your experiences and I wish you all the best. V.

[@varimarc1]

It was nice to see him reunited with his family.

[@AhNee]

I had a friend who married an American soldier during the war, who fathered her youngest child. He went back to the states, then she lost contact with him. For 20 years, she bugged me to help her find him. For 20 years, nothing but dead ends. The language barrier didn't help. Sometimes, we'd go a year or so without seeing one another, then take up where we left off. Finally, I FOUND HIM. I figured, "Vietnam vet, they have a lot of health issues...maybe?" So, I searched his name and "obituary", and sure enough...he'd passed 6 years earlier. I went to tell her, only to find out she'd gone home to Vietnam for a visit...and died there. The reason they lost contact? He was ALREADY married here, with kids! I've not contacted the family, I think it would do no good. The son is a scam artist, always trying to con people out of money. Gambling addict. On disability somehow, but makes a lot of money under the table, which all goes to gambling instead of his family.

The real crime is, What is a priest doing with 1200 dollars in his wallet?

[@DallasCityGurl]

Before Credit and debit cards, people used to carry a lot more cash. I remember in the 1970's my dad always had a few hundred dollars on him. The priest was new to town and probably had extra money on him to buy things for his new home to get settled in. Also, a lot of things cost more before we had unfair free trade with china, I remember microwaves costing 1,000 dollars , made in America.

[@inkyguy]

Amie, debit cards were widely used in 1984 and credit cards were extremely well established. They were not rare or uncommon at all. Carrying over $1,000 on your person wld be unusual for anyone when that was more money than many people made in a month at that time, but especially when your lodging and possibly even meals are already provided at a rectory and you supposedly live an intentionally austere life.

[@DallasCityGurl]

@@inkyguy The older Debit cards only worked at the bank ATM they were issued. you couldn't pay at a store with them. I worked retail starting 1987 and I didn't see the newer type until the mid 1990's. When I say newer, I am talking about ones you could Use at any store to make purchases. Yes Credit Cards were used back then but not by as many people and certainly my family did not use them and I had 10 Aunts and Uncles. Consumer Credit Card debt was no where like it is today. Cash was still mostly used in the 1970's and 80's.. I grew up on military bases and I remember the GI's cashing their whole paycheck and having all that cast to blow in their wallet. My dad was an E7 only and he made 1,600 after taxes. An example, Our first Microwave Cost us 1,000 dollars and my dad paid cash, So 1,000 is not so unusual for someone moving and possibly paying big bills, but it was a lot. I don't understand your coment, where it is coming from. :)

I remember being absolutely terrified by the episode on Kurt Sova. It was his photo as well as how they found him in a ravine and the events of how he disappeared and ultimately died. Had nightmares about it for decades after until I watched the episode as a grown man. It has always been a mystery whether he accidentally died and they dumped him there or met with foul play. We will never know and it is heartbreaking that his parents are now gone without knowing what happened to him. I remember watching that with all of these episodes together. There is no show like Unsolved Mysteries and the original with Robert Stack will always be the best.

[@elianne4753]

Here’s what I think happened. Kurt was hanging around a newer, shadier crowd. Older kids, maybe in or out of college, with easy access to alcohol and probably drugs, which they no doubt would’ve supplied to minors. But not without payment. The most popular party drug for teens in ‘81 had to have been pot and maybe cocaine. Combined with heavy drinking, especially if you’re not used to drinking a whole lot of hard liquor like Everclear in one go, you can obviously make yourself really sick. Now you’re in danger of alcohol poisoning. So maybe he passes out on a couch, vomits in his sleep, and asphyxiates - all while no one’s paying attention. Maybe he never even makes it out the door to lean on the fence as his friend described. Maybe Susan realizes first what’s happened and freaks out. She has no choice but to come up with a story to avoid getting blamed, after all, there’s Kurt, a minor, who’s died of alcohol poisoning at a party she’s hosting. While she and the others who learn of this figure out what to do, they move Kurt to a cot in the basement, where he’s seen by a witness apparently “sleeping.” Finally, they move him to a secondary location, unknown. But they can’t keep him there forever, they need a way to deflect suspicion. Take him to the ravine that’s already been searched, they won’t think to look twice. Make it look ambiguous, like the work of a serial killer or a random wrong place at the wrong time situation. The shoe was forgotten at the house by accident and later disposed of. And the missing shoe on both boys is coincidental. Strange, but not impossible. Now, the autopsy says he’s been alive for three days after he left the party and before his body was discovered. The question that should’ve been also answered was how much alcohol was found in Kurt’s blood. That changes everything. Because if it’s high, that would indicate he might’ve SURVIVED for three more days, while continuing to drink heavily during that time. Or maybe someone was getting him drunk on purpose. If it’s low, well, maybe he was in a coma for a day or two on that cot in the basement. He’s still breathing, he’s still alive, they check his pulse, but he’s unresponsive. He’s given no medical attention, so he eventually dies in his sleep after three days. They check his pulse, and it’s not there. Shit shit shit. They panic, dump his body at the ravine, fabricate a likely story of him disappearing on his own accord, and stage it as accidental or perhaps the work of a serial killer. I have a feeling the mysterious Franco in the van was involved in the transport of Kurt’s body. Susan and a couple others scrub the place clean of vomit and/or blood and erase any evidence of Kurt ever being there. Why would she lie about a party occurring in the first place rather than admitting there was one? It’s a way unnecessary lie, as many people can confirm there was one. What’s confusing is the friend claiming to see Kurt during his unaccounted for days. Either he made a mistake and saw someone who looked like Kurt or maybe he got the timeline confused and actually saw Kurt before he went missing. Or, even darker but pretty unlikely, he’s making it up to establish Kurt was seen alive to help whoever had moved Kurt’s body. But if that were the case, why would he freely admit he saw Kurt getting into Franco’s van without implementing him? That’s why I think he might’ve made a mistake rather than any malevolent intentions behind the account. We may never know the truth of how it went down. All we can hope is that Kurt is resting easy, his surviving family find some comfort, and those responsible are eventually brought to justice. It’s been so long since Kurt was discovered without much ledes. The case is very cold. I think someone out there knows something, probably more than one person at that, and has just kept quiet all these years out of fear of getting in trouble or were threatened/blackmailed to secrecy. Either way, no one deserves what Kurt went through. No one deserves what his parents and loved ones went through. Seems to me like it was a case of alcohol poisoning and nobody did the right thing out of fear of getting in trouble. But like I always tell my kids, it’s always better to take someone to the hospital, even if they’ve been underage drinking or what have you. Getting grounded is nothing compared to losing a friend. And I get it, in the moment you panic and don’t think clearly, and hindsight is 20-20, but damn. People will be wayyyyy more understanding if you tell the truth and get help for your friend rather than let them sleep it off to avoid punishment. Such a tragic case that I think could’ve been prevented. Poor baby. I hope the truth comes to light soon.

[@XxxgrungyxxX]

Wow.... You really went off on a tangent there. Lol! You got really hung up on the fact that it was alcohol poisoning and missed the fact that the coroner had said that Kurt didn't have enough alcohol in him to have killed him.

[@bonzie321]

Okay that’s what I was thinking, but his friend Dave saw him two days after the party getting in that van.

[@bonzie321]

Plus his friend Dave saw him two days after the party getting in that van.

[@kaylapounds1359]

I was on the same thought until the coroner said he hadn't drank too much to die of alcohol poisoning. Plus his friend saw him shortly before he died. If I had to guess, you might be right on the first half; as in he drank too much and was given drugs. It maybe have been he was given the drugs first as a way to calm him down. Cocaine is very addictive and according to the Healthline website it can take days to come down from the effects. Which could explain why 3 days after he disappeared his friend saw him and since stranger. The stranger might have been promising him more drugs to keep him addicted. I think, unfortunately, the missing posters were part of what led to his death. Because I think that stranger in the shop was the dealer/supplier and was now afraid of getting caught. From there he either intentionally gave him too much or laced it with something lethal that would cause his death. I tried to find the full coroner's report but can only find the details as mentioned. Because take River Phoenix, he was healthy too, and had it not been for finding drugs in his system they might now have known his COD. Idk if they even tested Kurt's body for any drugs. Or if in the 80s they had the ability to test like we do today. With the second boys death, Eugene, he was ruled as accidentally falling in. But I find it sus both of them had a shoe missing. It's possible that he was given a drug too and that caused him to accidentally fall. But even if both were accidental, how did a shoe come up missing? I feel like that's something that should be focused on. If there was a killer that did that, it's likely they did it to others.
