JOSEPH ZARELLI suffered and went nameless for too long. You couldn't even say his name? We need to keep his name out there because the case isn't solved.

[@harlanmilleret905]

That's hard to say but I belive that now that they identified The Boy in the Box it is possible that his killer(s) will one day brought to justice.

[@Tummyachesurvior]

How DARE you say Joseph was NEVER IDENTIFIED! He was identified LAST YEAR and you can’t even do simple research to figure that out. It was ALL OVER the news!!! Disgusting and disgraceful.

[@Tummyachesurvior]

@@harlanmilleret905 they identified Joseph last year and believe either his parents or father/step-father was the killer. At this point we will never know. However, them not even having the common decency to say his name is disgraceful.

[@rogerrhodes90]

At least you guys got the top 3 correct

[@bocprincess]

The boy in the box was later identified for #17 but still a very tragic case

[@ASMR-Arboretum]

Joseph Zarelli

[@RH-tv9hk]

​@@ASMR-Arboretum Yes, we all know it's still a mystery. His name is important. The video idiotically says he's still unidentified. His name is Joseph Zarelli

[@atran071]

There's a case in Singapore and it's the Geylang Bahru family murders. All four children in the Tan family were found dead. There was no evidence of forced entry, the flat had not been ransacked, and no items were reported missing. The murder weapons, which are believed to have been a cleaver and a dagger, were never found. Another case is the Easey Street murders which refers to the murders of two women in Collingwood, Victoria, Australia, an inner suburb of Melbourne, in January 1977. It is considered as Victoria’s most brutal crime. One important thing about the case is the number of stab wounds that the victims had (one had 55 wounds and the other had 29 wounds). It was overkill and it can considered to be a strong emotional conflict between the perpetrator and the victims. There was a baby, that belonged to one of the victims, who left unharmed and he was adopted by his aunt.

Austin TX has two. The Yogurt Shop Murders of December 1991 involved the deaths of four teenage girls in a yogurt shop. Police interviewed numerous suspects and had two fellas in prison for a while until it was revealed that they were wrongfully incarcerated. The Midnight Assassin (or Servant Girl Annihilator) took place in the mid 1880's and remains unsolved. For more details, see the Wikipedia articles about both cases.

[@antoniacosta6221]

Why is the audio so weird at some points?

[@shellc]

The boy in the box is partially solved but not completely. He was identified last year as Joseph Augustus Zarelli. The authorities knew who he was for over a year but kept his name as well as his parents names secret as there are still surviving relatives but reporters found out so they made it public. The main suspects are Martha or M's parents. A psychiatrist came forward in 2002 and said she told him many things...her parents bought him from a child trafficking ring in Philadelphia and they regularly abused him and in the end a beating went too far and killed him. She said it was her mother who dumped him where he was found and she also talked about stuff that only detectives knew. This is seemingly the most likely theory out of the main three that have popped up over the years and the only one not ruled out but as of last year, the evidence is still circumstantial and they don't have enough to move forward yet but they are hoping now there is a name someone many come forward with something more.

[@GCKMimi]

The concept of katabatic winds being behind the Dyatlov Pass Incident is - to me - the most sound. A Swedish-Russian expedition in 2019 proposed the idea. In 1978, a group of nine hikers in Sweden faced the same conditions with eight killed and one seriously injured. Kholat Syakhl and Anaris Mountain are topographically very similar and therefore susceptible to the same weather phenomena.

[@josephwalden7544]

The Austin Yogart Shop murders and The Las Cruces Bowling Alley murders may not be as famous but were so horrific. 4 teenaged girls were shot and killed in Austin and 7 were shot in Las Cruces with four dying right away and one later from her injuries.

[@Shieldmaiden313]

I live right down the street from the Kiddie resort.... The new evidence is they found a hammer in an area near where the house was that had somehow been overlooked all those years ago, & they also found a tape in with the evidence that no one remembers listening to that was of the "random" person who had made an anonymous call from a payphone saying he "found" Tina's remains while he was "randomly" walking around the area where she was.... But they never found out who the guy calling was, but opening the tape 30 years later & comparing the voice to a suspect they had from the very beginning (the neighbor) it sounds a lot like it.... The cabin was destroyed in 2014 because the resort town had been abandoned since the murders & so many people were going in it & doing seances & destroying it anyway.... Hopefully it will be solved but the 2 main suspects are dead anyway!!!!

Okay so unless I’m mistaken in the keddie quadruple homicide it said 3 people were found in another part of the house unharmed. So they were in the home with the murder victims clearly they didn’t call the cops or anything…doesn’t that basically say everything you need to know? It didn’t say they were unconscious or tied up or anything so unless they left something out it sounds like they were fine in the house with the deceased. Unless there was a lot left out I’d think they had something to do with it (unless they were very young children to where it’s impossible and they wouldn’t have known to call the cops of course.

Kennedy assassination IS an unsolved crime, because they don't believe the Warren Commission's conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald had shot the president, and/or that he acted alone. They believe the crime was really the result of a larger conspiracy against the president, and that Jack Ruby shot Oswald to death so he couldn't tell anyone what he knew.
