Thank you for featuring the sad case of the missing Beaumont children. I was bought to tears when Mr Beaumont died earlier this year, for him to have lived to 97 - and Mrs Beaumont who died in 2012 at 92 - without ever knowing what happened. Somewhere, wherever, I hope these beautiful children were reunited with their parents, who waited the rest of their lives to find them. Why is the Jon Benet Ramsay case labelled a "mystery" instead of a murder?

[@marianparoo1544]

Because the writer of the article doesn’t want to get sued.

I'm fairly certain that the Alcatraz escapees actually made it. Law enforcement was told there was a boat that was waiting for them in the Bay, meaning they wouldn't have had to endure the freezing water for too long. One of the group may not have made it, as a passing boat in the hours/days following witnessed a body in prison garb in the water. It was not retrievable and likely washed far out to see. There is some interesting evidence that the Anglin brothers made it to South America, including a photograph and rumored contact with relatives back home.

[@thesilentonejg524]

100% She is dead. Who killed her or how she died is still a mystery, but it's almost certain she has sadly passed. The blood in the hire car is the most suspicious thing about the case IMO. Whether she died in that hotel or was kidnapped and murdered later also may not be discovered...

[@josi4251]

Not much we can do, unless you want to start a career in law enforcement. In several of these cases, police was pretty much certain who did the crimes. There just wasn't enough evidence for a trial. This is often the case, but the justice system demands that sufficient proof exist before the D.A. will allow the case to go forward. An acquittal would end any further chance of bringing them to justice.

Well, yes, the video tells us that the boy in the box was identified last year. However, considering it happened in ‘57 it’s incredibly unlikely that we’ll ever have any further answers. It’s over 60 years later. Those who could have been involved are likely either dead or infirm.

Long Island killer has been found by authorities 4 days ago. His name is Rex Heuermann, he was living in Massapequa Park at the moment of his arrest. He is an 59 y/o arquitect, husband and father. He was traced because of the phone numbers on victim's cellphones, wich matched with disposable phones he was caught buying by cctv in some stores. Also, his DNA on a pizza box helped police to catch him, just as his intense interest among the investigation and his horrid search of pictures of the victims on the internet and very violent p0rn. He's facing charges for 4 of the murders but the police is still investigating the remain cases to link him to them. Despite the proofs, he refused his involvement in the murders.

The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann should never be solved. Three reasons are firstly there is no solid evidence that Christian Brueckner took the child because he's with a teenage German girl at the time and he's miles away from the Ocean Club Resort, secondly while Madeleine doesn't remember her family if she is still alive the world is impossible to find a missing child, and thirdly if Madeleine is sold to paedophile ring as far as the theories are concerned there is no hope she'll be found alive because she's probably dead by now. Kate and Gerry McCann are narcissistic as Donald Trump which they treat Danny Collins, Mark Williams-Thomas and other people as if they're Goncalo Amaral. Even they can't be prosecuted for child abandonment, they should be thrown in the loony bin for dismissing the wandering off theory and treat their precious daughter as a babysitter.
